View, edit and delete image metadata at macOS

  From this material, you have already understood how important it is before uploading a photo to the network or transmitting it to verify the absence of metadata (EXIF), which you are not ready to share with other people. In this article I will show how to view, change and delete metadata to users of the macOS operating system.

To view EXIF ​​metadata on macOS, I recommend the simple and convenient File Viewer program. It is free and available for download in the App Store. To view the EXIF ​​metadata, simply launch the program and drag the file into the opened window.

EXIF macOS

For quick and easy removal of metadata on macOS, I recommend using the very simple and convenient EXIF Cleaner PRO (App Store) program. It is not free, but its price will pay off in full for those who need reliable metadata erasure.

To remove metadata, simply launch the program and drag the photo into the window that opens.

EXIF Cleaner PRO

If you need to change any specific EXIF metadata, I recommend that you use Image Exif Editor Free (App Store). The free version has some limitations, for example, you will not be able to process more than one photo at a time, however, it is enough to use its functionality periodically.

  Please do not forget about recommendation to minimize installed software and install programs only if you really need them.
