ExiFox vs MetaFix: EXIF Editor

ExiFox is a free native Mac app for reading, editing, removing and restoring photo and video metadata. It handles EXIF, IPTC, XMP and GPS tags through a bundled ExifTool binary. Files can be dragged, pasted or browsed into the app, with thumbnails shown in a sidebar. Metadata is grouped and filterable, with inline change indicators and one-click revert or save. EXIF and GPS details can be stripped from one file or a batch. Reusable presets add, change or remove fields and can be exported as JSON, YAML or TOML. Favorite tags help narrow long metadata lists. Processing happens locally; the maker says files are not uploaded and the app works offline without an account or server. ExiFox supports Apple silicon and Intel Macs running macOS 14 Sonoma or newer. Distribution is through a direct DMG or Homebrew, with the direct version receiving updates. The app checks for signed HTTPS updates, and the download is Apple Developer ID-signed and notarized. It is free with all features included and no in-app purchases.

MetaFix: EXIF Editor is an Android app for viewing, changing, clearing, and managing EXIF metadata on photos. It can edit dates taken and digitized, camera and lens details, author, copyright, and description. GPS tools let you enter coordinates manually, choose a location from a map, or remove GPS data from an edited copy. Batch editing and metadata templates are available. MetaFix processes only photos you select and performs that work locally; SensorLinQ Apps says photos are not uploaded, stored, or processed on its servers. Each edited photo is saved as a new copy, leaving the original unchanged. The free plan costs nothing and offers basic single-photo editing, banner ads, and a daily edit limit. Pro adds unlimited edits, batch editing, presets, supported metadata fields, direct capture, and sharing, while Remove Ads removes banner ads but keeps the basic limits. No account is required.
