Perl library and command-line application for reading, writing and editing meta information (EXIF, IPTC, XMP, and more) in a wide variety of file formats (JPEG, TIFF, PNG, PDF, RAW, and more).

IDTE is a full-featured tag editor for Windows that supports tagging of FLAC, APE, ID3v1.x/2.x, WMA, Lyrics, and Vorbis metadata in audio files. It also includes a powerful audio player with support for 40+ lossy and lossless formats, including FLAC, ALAC, OGG, APE, MP3, and more. IDTE offers a wide range of advanced features: • Rename files using tag information • Export and manage tag data • Create and manage playlists • Search online for missing or incomplete tags • Fetch lyrics and album artwork • Full CUE sheet support • Batch processing and multi-file editing • SFX, visualizations, and more A new, minimalistic version of IDTE is also available for download: https://sourceforge.net/projects/idte ⚠️ Important Notice Tagging MP4 video files and WAV audio files using IDTE is not recommended. WAV tag support is ambiguous and inconsistently handled across players (see: http://wiki.audacityteam.org/wiki/WAV).

Open-source and cross-platform picture manager and organizer with complete meta information support: add, edit, search and remove XMP, IPTC, EXIF and JPEG Comment. It also offers batch conversion/renaming of images and lossless rotation and cropping.

MassGeotagger lets you select a photo, a photo folder or a folder tree and update the latitude and longitude coordinates in the EXIF data of the selected photos. To get the GPS coordinates, the method of choice is to select one or several GPX files and set the difference of time between APN time saved in EXIF data and GPS time. However other strategies to match JPG and GPS coordinates are available : by selecting one of the GPX waypoint, by selecting a point on the map or by user input. MassGeotagger can also be used to view the location of geotagged photos on a map.

This software inserts and remove the tags exif latitude, longitude and altitude in jpeg, tiff and png images performing the geo-positioning of images, it uses tracklogs of GPS devices.

Tilemaster is a tool to create, edit and manage tilesets for (C)RPGs and other types of computer games. Tilemaster supports tile metadata and includes a simple tile/sprite editor as well.

BMPE stands for Bitmap Editor and is an cross platform open source application written in java for editing and extracting messages from BMP files.

Geeqie is a lightweight image viewer. It was forked from GQview. The development is focused on features for photo collection maintenance: raw format, Exif/IPTC/XMP metadata and integration with programs like UFraw, ImageMagick, Gimp, gPhoto or ExifTo The current development and project can be found on http://www.geeqie.org/. The sourceforge page will be deleted soon.

GeoDress is a program for reverse geocoding of JPEG pictures with a simple GUI and even a command-line interface.

JGeotagger is a Java / Swing application which uses a GPX file to geotag JPG photos

The aim of this project is to read meta data from pictures such as JPG. But, instead of other freeware all meta data will be described into Spring files (XML files).

Metador is a modern GTK4/Libadwaita application that securely cleans, edits, and manages sensitive metadata from your files.

Picasa can tag your pictures with faces and geo coordinates. faces2pictures writes the face and geo tags into the files.

A program to assist in writing Arabic text in programs that don't support Arabic, such as Photoshop (the non-ME editions), Scribus, Flash, and others. Source code is hosted on github: http://github.com/hasenj/arabic-writer

A desktop application for efficient tagging and finding of pictures and animations.

This is a set of command line tools that are useful for editing image metadata. Currently it contains the following tools: * image2xml * xml2image * mpo2jps Currently supported file formats are: * jpeg (jfif or exif) * mpo * jps. These tools are mostly useful for editing metadata. image2xml can also generate a .h header file with the offsets of different metadata in the binary file. This could be used in small devices that generate jpeg/mpo/jps images where metadata construction from scratch is not required.

Shift the EXIF date/time using the Exiv2 library for Linux or the WIC API for windows, with Qt interface. Binaries were built with MSVC++ 14.2 and Qt 5.15.0 (64 bits). See https://github.com/a-lemonnier/shiftpicdate-gui : code and additional infos.
