Four pillars

Offline, formats, undo, intelligence — the four things a metadata tool must nail. ExifMate nails all of them, and everything stays on your PC.

01 · Headline

Fully Offline · Real Privacy Architecture

Zero networkingZero accountsZero telemetry

“Your photo & video metadata belongs 100% to your local drive.”

The app contains no networking code at all: no sign-up, no login, no upload, no telemetry. Every feature works with the cable unplugged — privacy by architecture, not by promise.

02

Every Format · Not Just Photos

“Edit capture dates and metadata for MP4, MOV, MKV and other mainstream video formats — and keep your footage library in order.”

Mainstream EXIF tools are photo-only; messy dates on phone clips and drone footage go unfixed. ExifMate supports a dozen-plus video formats natively, alongside regular photos and camera RAW — one tool for your entire library.

03

Panic-Free Batch Editing

“Shifted 1,000 photos to the wrong date? Don't panic. Every batch lands in a built-in database snapshot — one click of Restore and everything snaps back to the original state.”

Each operation keeps before/after snapshots and file hashes in a local database — saved forever, across sessions. Restore a single step or a whole batch, whenever you like. Batch away with confidence.

Fully Smart · Metadata That Flows

“Filenames, EXIF and file dates — three directions, one automated relay.”

Recognize dates in filenames and write them back to missing capture times in bulk; sync EXIF capture time into the file modified date; then batch-rename from EXIF and file dates. Placeholder templates ({Y4}{M2}{D2}_{h}{m}{s}) define both recognition and naming, with ordered multi-template matching — your library organizes itself.

Beyond the pillars, down to the details

Everyday formats fully covered: JPEG / PNG / GIF / BMP / TIFF / WebP / HEIC, major camera RAW (CR2 / CR3 / NEF / ARW / RAF / DNG…), and mainstream video (MP4 / MOV / MKV…).

See everything

Grouped tree view of all metadata; RAW embedded-JPEG preview and inline video playback; filename-recognition vs existing EXIF diff highlighting.

Edit fast, in bulk

Recursive folder import, multi-threaded parallel writes; batch-shift or precisely set capture dates, camera, lens, GPS and copyright.

Any-tag editor

A GUI covering every ExifTool tag — no command line; full preview before writing and before/after diff comparison.

GPS privacy scrub

Strip GPS and device serials in one click before sharing or delivery — or batch-write copyright and author info instead.

RAW+JPG pair fill

Paired files cross-fill missing dates, so rescans and re-photographed prints sort correctly too.

English / 简体中文

One-click UI language switch with consistent terminology and state.

Sound familiar?

In daily life, the four pillars show up as one-click answers to these all-too-common messes.

Camera clock was wrong on vacation

Thousands of photos with wrong dates

Timezone shifts, a forgotten clock reset, a second-hand camera — one wrong setting and your date-based library is chaos.

Shift or set capture dates in bulk, and sync file timestamps to match.

Old scans with no date metadata

Undated photos sink to the bottom forever

Scanned family photos and EXIF-less images never sort correctly in any album app.

Smart filename recognition (e.g. IMG_20230812_104530) writes missing dates back; RAW+JPG pairs cross-fill.

Batch editing means command-line tutorials

ExifTool is powerful; the CLI is not for everyone

Thirty tags means thirty pages of docs — and one typo can change something you didn't mean to touch.

A GUI covering all of ExifTool: arbitrary tag editor, templated batch rename, before/after diff highlighting.

You notice the mistake after the batch ran

Metadata tools almost never ship an undo

Wrong GPS, overwritten copyright — with most tools that's final; your only hope is a backup.

Built-in DB snapshots: every operation is logged, restore any step or whole batch, any time.

Nobody edits video metadata

Mainstream EXIF tools are photo-only

Phone clips, drone footage, MP4/MOV metadata — a near-empty niche in the market.

Native viewing and batch editing for MP4 / MOV / MKV / MTS and a dozen more video formats.

Sharing photos outside your circle

Your photos carry your home coordinates

GPS and camera serial numbers travel inside every image you share.

Strip GPS and device serials in one click — or batch-write copyright and author info before delivery.
