What it is

Exif Pilot is Windows software for creating, viewing, editing, and removing image metadata. It works with EXIF, EXIF GPS, IPTC, and XMP, and the free editor can add, change, or remove image keywords. EXIF and IPTC data can be imported or exported using XML, MS Excel, or CSV text files. The software can also create and edit Photo Sphere metadata for panorama images. JPEG, TIFF, PNG, DNG, NEF, PEF, CR2, CRW, JP2, ORF, SRW, ARW, SR2, and PSD support reading, editing, and creation; MRW, RW2, PGF, EPS, HEIC, and RAF are read-only. The paid Batch Editing Plugin adds multi-photo processing, tag copying across photos, metadata import and export, and command-line editing and creation. It costs 79.95 EUR once, and files processed by the plugin must be in the same directory. Excel import and export with the 64-bit version requires listed Microsoft Excel and Access components. The maker says the program is provided as-is, with no planned upgrades or technical support.
