Desktop application for editing photo metadata (EXIF/XMP) before submitting to stock photo agencies. Fill in title, description, keywords, and categories — then save directly into the image file without re-encoding.

Supported formats: JPEG · PNG · WebP

Features

• Metadata editing — title, description, keywords, categories, and release filename written directly into the image as XMP
• Batch mode — select multiple files and edit shared metadata at once; keywords show which files contain them, with per-keyword promote/remove controls
• Keyword autocomplete — fuzzy search over 1 000+ stock photography terms with drag-and-drop reordering, clipboard copy/paste, and comma-separated bulk input
• Auto-save — optional 1-second debounce auto-save for single-file editing
• File watcher — detects external changes (renames, deletions) and refreshes the file tree automatically
• Flexible dock layout — three resizable, closable, and reorderable panels (Control · View · Hierarchy)
• Multiple view modes — table, content, and icons view with vertical/horizontal layout for the file browser
• Rename on save — changing the filename field renames the actual file on disk

Usage

See the full User Guide for detailed instructions.

Known Limitations

• Icons view mode displays only the root-level files of the opened folder (no subdirectory traversal)
• TIFF and RAW formats are not supported
• Auto-save is disabled in batch mode to prevent accidental overwrites
