SetEXIFData

SetEXIFData is a handy tool for anyone looking to tweak their EXIF tags. You might want to change or even delete this embedded data for privacy, and when you have a whole album of photos, you really need some specialized software for that.

Why Use SetEXIFData?

This software is based on ExifTool, making it super easy to edit EXIF tags in bulk. Want to set preferences quickly? You can use presets! You can also grab data from different sources, rename files based on their metadata, add or remove Geotags, and so much more.

Getting Started

Before diving in, you'll need to install ExifTool and LibRaw. The good news is that ExifTool comes included in the disk image. If you're using Apple’s processors with Rosetta 2 support, you can also use dcraw instead of LibRaw.

User-Friendly Features

Essentially, SetEXIFData wraps ExifTool’s power in a friendlier package packed with quality-of-life features. Once you load your images or videos into the program, you have the option to either wipe all metadata clean or fill in new information that will replace what's there. Just remember: this tool isn’t meant for small tweaks; it’s all about total replacements!

Simplifying Your Workflow

As you click through the tabs, you'll be able to fill out the necessary info which can then be saved as presets. So next time you need that same data again? Just select your preset and save time!

Date and Time Editing Made Easy

If you're working with date and time info, don't worry! You can pull this from EXIF tags or even use Finder's created/modified dates or file names. Plus, this info helps rename files as they get exported.

Add Geotags Effortlessly

You can easily add Geotags using presets or contacts. If that's not enough options for you, just pick a location on the map or type in coordinates manually!

The Bottom Line

Overall, SetEXIFData is perfect if you've got a big collection of media that needs its EXIF tags completely changed or removed. It’s not about minor changes; it's all about making major shifts efficiently! And trust me—it won’t take long at all to get the hang of it!
