How to edit EXIF metadata using this free online EXIF metadata editor:
It simply lets you edit metadata of your images by letting you upload multiple images from your PC or import them from Google Drive or Dropbox. After you have uploaded or selected images to edit, you can choose to either edit their metadata at once or individually. If you choose to bulk edit metadata of multiple images at once then all images will get the same metadata i.e. EXIF metadata, GEO tags, IPTC tags, and XMP tags specified by you. So, this online EXIF metadata editor can come to your rescue if you want to bulk edit images with the same metadata. After editing your images with the same EXIF metadata, it will automatically pack all of your images in a zip file which you can download. However, you have to download this zip file within 15 minutes as it will be automatically deleted from the theXifer.net server after 15 minutes. It lets you upload 20 images at a time and the maximum file size limit is 30 MB.
