Monday, 02 March 2015 00:00 | Written by Bradley Taylor | E-mail

EXIF data is imbedded data telling you the details in a jpg image file such as the date and time the photo was taken, the type of camera it was taken with, the person taking the picture, the settings like ISO or aperture, etc. There could be times when you will need to edit this information and may have a large amount of image files to do. Many people want to change or delete EXIF info because they don’t want their name or other personal info out on the Internet so they don’t risk identity theft. In order to do this, you will need a special type of software.

Here are several programs that can batch edit the EXIF data information in a Mac OS X:
