retroexif

Camera, film, development and lab metadata — together.

A metadata editor built for analog photography. Keep the complete technical story of every photograph — camera and lens, film stock, exposure, development, scanning, lab work and location — alongside standard EXIF and XMP metadata.

Requires macOS 15 or later · iPadOS 17 or later
macOS builds support both Intel-based Macs and Apple Silicon Macs.

Metadata, without the mess

Inspect and edit the metadata that actually matters: camera information, lens data, ISO, focal length, location and other EXIF/XMP fields.

Made for photography

retroexif is designed around real photographic workflows, including digital images, scanned negatives and photographs that need their original context restored.

Native by design

No bloated cross-platform interface. retroexif is designed for macOS and iPadOS, with an interface that feels at home on Apple devices.

Your photos deserve their history

A photograph is more than its pixels. Camera settings, location, equipment and capture information are part of the history of an image too.

retroexif gives you a straightforward way to inspect, correct and preserve that information without turning metadata management into a database administration job.

Open a photograph, see what is there, change what needs changing, and get back to your photography.
