PhotoMetaPro — Professional Batch Metadata Editor for macOS
Stop wasting hours on copyright, keywords, and client details. PhotoMetaPro applies professional metadata to hundreds of photos in seconds — then checks whether your files meet stock agency standards before you deliver. All processing runs locally on your Mac. No cloud, no subscription, no telemetry.
ON-DEVICE AI — NO INTERNET REQUIRED
AI Keyword Suggestions — Up to 15 keywords per photo via Apple Vision, in your system language.
Smart Caption Generator — AI drafts a natural-language caption for each photo. Edit, accept, and save directly to IPTC Description — losslessly, no re-compression.
Duplicate Detector — Perceptual fingerprinting finds near-identical photos. Three sensitivity levels. Nothing uploaded.
CORE FEATURES
Process unlimited photos with drag-and-drop. JPEG, PNG, TIFF, and HEIC plus full RAW support (CR2, CR3, NEF, NRW, ARW, ORF, RW2, RAF, PEF, DNG and more) — RAW files are never re-encoded. Pause, resume, or cancel at any time.
Template System — Reusable templates per client or project. Import/export for backup or team sharing. Templates remember all output settings.
Complete Metadata Control — Copyright, keywords, client name, custom IPTC/XMP fields, Quick Edit individual photos. Original EXIF always preserved.
Stock Readiness Score — Check your metadata against Getty Images, Shutterstock, and Adobe Stock requirements. See pass, warn, or fail for every field. Also verify what's actually embedded in your files — photo by photo.
Two-Camera Time Sync — Fix timestamp drift between cameras shot simultaneously. Align both streams perfectly.
Delivery Package — Client-ready exports with watermarking, GPS stripping, folder structure options, and an auto-generated file manifest. RAW originals are copied byte-for-byte; enable resize or watermark to output a JPEG alongside.
Keyword Library — Reusable keyword sets applied across projects instantly.
GPX Track Import — Import GPS routes from .gpx files and tag an entire shoot automatically.
Watch Folder — Photos dropped into a monitored folder are loaded and optionally processed automatically as they arrive.
Date & Time Shift — Correct timestamp drift across entire shoots in seconds.
Batch Rename — Hundreds of files, flexible patterns, one pass.
GPS & Geocoding — Manual entry or GPX import. Reverse geocoding converts coordinates to place names.
Non-destructive RAW via XMP Sidecar — Metadata for RAW files (CR2, CR3, NEF, ARW, ORF, RW2, RAF and more) is written to an industry-standard .xmp sidecar next to the original, so your RAW stays byte-identical. Recognised automatically by Lightroom, Capture One, Photoshop and Finder. DNG is written in place.
Logs & Stats — Filterable logs, export summaries, real-time progress with pause and cancel.
BUILT FOR MACOS
Built with SwiftUI. Optimized for Apple Silicon, with Intel fallback. Requires macOS 14.6 or later. 20-level undo. Auto-save every 10 photos. Full keyboard coverage with a dedicated Tools menu.
PERFECT FOR
Stock photographers — Getty, Shutterstock, Adobe Stock

Travel photographers tagging shoots from GPX tracks
Studios managing and delivering client work
Pay once, use forever. No subscription.
PRIVACY & DATA
Your originals are never modified. RAW files stay byte-identical — metadata is written to a standard XMP sidecar next to the original, which Lightroom, Capture One, Photoshop and Finder read automatically. Edited JPEG, PNG, TIFF and HEIC files go to a separate output directory you choose. Reverse geocoding is the only feature that uses the internet; everything else runs fully offline.

Version 1.3 makes PhotoMetaPro safer and faster to work with.
SAFER, MORE RELIABLE
• Quick Edit no longer risks overwriting RAW files, and cleared fields are now truly removed
• Star ratings and color labels no longer interfere with your other metadata
• XMP sidecars for RAW files are now fully compatible with Lightroom and Capture One, including GPS overrides and creator details
• Date shift and camera time sync are now correct across daylight-saving changes
• Delivery packages: same-named files from different folders no longer overwrite each other, and watermarks sit in the right corner on portrait photos
• The watch folder waits until a file has finished copying before importing it
• GPX files with fractional-second timestamps now import correctly
• Batch Rename also renames RAW sidecar files; keyword import handles more CSV formats
FASTER WORKFLOW
• Warning before processing if your copyright still contains the placeholder text
• The confirmation sheet shows exactly which fields will be written
• Last-run summary with a one-click "Reveal in Finder"
• Shift-click to select a range of photos; double-click to open Quick Edit
• The app remembers your last-used template
• RAW badge on thumbnails
• Live filename preview in Delivery Package
• "Try with sample photos" for a safe first look
• New shortcuts: ⌘E Quick Edit, ⇧⌘U select unprocessed, ⇧⌘R reveal output folder
• Improved Settings window, Undo/Redo menu labels and startup behavior
