Exif Everywhere is a macOS app designed for photographers, designers, and digital professionals who need instant access to image metadata. EXIF, IPTC, and XMP tags contain vital information such as camera settings, lens type, shutter speed, GPS coordinates, and copyright details.
Instead of using complicated command-line tools or heavy software, Exif Everywhere integrates seamlessly into macOS, letting you view and manage metadata directly from Finder and Preview. It ensures that metadata is visible when you need it, invisible when you don’t — helping both casual users and professionals streamline their workflow.
Every photo you take carries hidden data. Exif Everywhere unlocks this data in a clear, user-friendly interface, ensuring you can understand, manage, and control it.
