PhotInfo is an app to view, edit, and manage photo metadata - such as location, camera info, date, time, and more - right from your iPhone, iPad, or Mac.
Every digital photo contains more than just pixels - it holds hidden metadata like shutter speed, camera model, ISO, focal length, and even GPS location. PhotInfo gives you full access to this information, letting you explore, understand, and take control of what your photos say about you.
Whether you want to edit or remove metadata for privacy, correct missing or inaccurate info, or simply learn more about how your photos were taken, PhotInfo makes it easy. It's a powerful tool for photographers, teachers, and anyone who wants to get more from their images - or just keep their photo library tidy.
Real users include photography instructors and enthusiasts who use PhotInfo to improve their technique or teach others.
