What it is

SetEXIFData is a desktop app for batch editing metadata in images and movies on macOS, Windows and Linux. Add files or folders, or drag media into the app, then process the listed files together. Its tools can rename media from EXIF dates, set dates from filenames or Google JSON exports, adjust dates and sequence numbers, geotag files, edit camera details and keywords, and remove metadata tags. It can export readable metadata as HTML, JSON, Markdown or text. The app uses ExifTool to write metadata, and the maker includes it with the download. Geotagging loads Google Maps; macOS users can optionally use Contacts addresses in the geotagging menu. Version 10 and later requirements specify macOS 11 or higher and 64-bit Intel or ARM Windows and Linux. A trial is available, but unregistered use cannot change files. The license costs €12.94 as a one-time purchase and initially allows up to three activations across the listed platforms.
