ExifNuxt: Photo EXIF Metadata Editor

Photo Metadata Matters More Than It Looks

Every photo carries hidden notes: camera make, lens, exposure settings, time, sometimes GPS coordinates. Those notes help with archiving and copyright, yet they can also reveal where you live once a photo is shared. Changing them usually means command-line tools that aren't friendly to beginners.

ExifNuxt lays all of that metadata out in a clean form. Fix wrong values, add the photographer and copyright, or strip every EXIF tag before a photo goes online.

Key Features

  • Open photos quickly: use the dialog (Ctrl+O) or drag files onto the window. Supports JPEG, PNG, WebP, TIFF, HEIC/HEIF, and JPEG XL.
  • Per-file editing: camera, lens, exposure settings, time, photographer, copyright, description, and GPS location.
  • Batch editing: tick several photos and change only the fields you want to match. Every other field on each photo stays as it was.
  • Copy and paste fields: copy one group (Location, for example) or every field onto other photos. The text also lands on the system clipboard.
  • Safe saving: Ctrl+S overwrites the original, Ctrl+Shift+S saves a copy, and you can strip all EXIF in one step.

ExifNuxt writes only the fields you actually changed, so untouched camera data stays intact.

Technology

The interface uses Nuxt 4 and Nuxt UI 4 on top of Tauri 2. On the Rust side, kamadak-exif reads EXIF and little_exif writes it. For PNG files, EXIF goes into a zTXt chunk, following the ImageMagick and exiftool convention.
