What is Photo Metadata?

Photo metadata is the information embedded in a photo file, such as date, time, camera settings, and location. Here's how you can edit photo metadata using different software tools:
- Windows File Explorer:
- Right-click on the desired photo file and select "Properties."
- Edit fields like date taken, tags, and comments in the Properties dialog.
- Alternatively, use the File Explorer Details pane for a quick view and edit.
- Mac Photos:
- Right-click on the photo in the Photos program and select "Get Information."
- Add a caption and keywords in the Info window.
- To change the date taken, select the photos, go to the top menu, click "Image," choose "Adjust Date and Time," and update as needed.
- Mylio:
- You can add captions, keywords, and change the date taken in the info panel.
- However, for both Mylio and Mac Photos, there is only one way for other people to view this metadata. The photos must be exported from the programs with the metadata included.
