Add EXIF to photo: what it is for
Open a photo and see all the EXIF metadata it has. Then edit the description, author, copyright, date and time taken, camera make and model, software and GPS location, with a link to check the place on a map. A JPG photo loses no quality: only the metadata changes.

Frequently asked questions
Why put author and copyright in EXIF?
The data travels with the file: anyone who opens the photo in an editor, Lightroom or Windows (Properties > Details) sees the author and rights. It helps prove authorship, although some social networks strip EXIF when you post.
Does changing the date change the order in the gallery?
Many apps, such as Google Photos and phone galleries, sort by the date the photo was taken (DateTimeOriginal). Fixing that date puts the photo in the right place on the timeline.
Does it work with PNG?
This tool writes EXIF to JPG, the format every camera and program reads. If you upload PNG, WebP or HEIC, the photo is converted to high-quality JPG before writing.
Does the photo lose quality?
Not if it is already a JPG: only the metadata block is replaced and the image stays intact.
