ExifBatch review
A focused macOS tool for verified batch edits to JPEG and HEIC metadata.
Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Oct 2026
ExifBatch is a native macOS application for repairing photo metadata across folders. It is designed for Mac users who need to correct capture dates, adjust GPS coordinates, and preserve original files while exporting edited copies. Its workflow covers JPEG and HEIC files and focuses on EXIF metadata, making it a targeted choice for photo libraries that need organized date or location corrections rather than a broad metadata management system.
The published one-time purchase plan costs $24 for one Mac. It includes batch date and GPS editing, previews of original and proposed metadata, exported copies, a JSON manifest, and free launch updates. The date tools can set, shift, or sequence capture dates, while the GPS tools can view, remove, or set coordinates. For a one-time purchase, the plan is straightforward: there are no separate tiers to compare, and the core workflow is centered on folder-level editing rather than recurring service features.
Verification and file preservation are central to the product’s workflow. ExifBatch can export edited copies without overwriting originals, generate a JSON manifest containing source hashes, metadata changes, and failures, and verify output metadata. Those features suit archival cleanup or carefully documented batch corrections. The trade-off is a narrow platform and file scope: it requires macOS 14 or later, supports JPEG and HEIC, and focuses on EXIF. Choose ExifBatch if verified batch date and GPS work on a Mac is the priority; choose another tool if you need broader file-format coverage or metadata beyond EXIF.
