User Manual

There are various standard and proprietary types of EXIF Metadata, some of which can be written into most common multimedia files, while others are reserved for specific file types.

Our editor support these types of multimedia files:

You can read or write six groups of metadata tags in the supported files, as explained in the table below.

Medatada Compatibility Table

theXifer.net offers versatile methods for editing your pictures and videos, accessible through different approaches. The following section illustrates all possible scenarios for editing your media. You have the flexibility to choose from various methods, each tailored to specific requirements:

theXifer.net offers two types of editors for modifying EXIF, IPTC, XMP, and PDF metadata.

There are both a basic and an advanced version available. The advanced editor is enabled by default for premium users, while the free version is accessible to everyone.

• Simple Editor
• Advanced Editor

Premium users can switch between editors at any time and select their default editor by simply moving the button visible in the screenshot.
The behavior of the editors changes according to the number and type of files loaded.
When editing a single file, the editor will read the existing information in the file, and the form fields will be pre-filled with this data.
When editing multiple files, the form fields will be empty, as it wouldn't make sense to combine data from multiple files.

Both editors include the following sections:

• Initial Section: This section indicates which files are involved in editing, which can be one or more. Hovering over the image will show a larger preview of the uploaded file.
• Map: Useful for quickly geolocating the file. During single-file editing, the position already recorded in the file will be shown on the map (if the file contains geolocation information).
• EXIF Cleaner and Facebook 360: This section contains two shortcuts that allow you to remove all metadata from the file and make it compatible with Facebook panoramic photos. For more information, refer to the dedicated sections for EXIF CLEANER and Facebook 360.
• Section Differentiation between Free and Premium Users: Free users will see only the buttons to switch from the basic to the advanced editor (the advanced editor is a premium feature and will be in read-only mode for free users).
  Premium users will also see the presets section. For more information, please refer to the dedicated topic on Form Presets.
• Quick Tag Search: This section displays the quick tag search and is available only to premium users. For more information, please refer to the dedicated topic on Tag Search.
• Edit Form Section: Both the simple and the advanced forms are divided into tabs that contain the editing input fields. In the simple form, the tabs are arranged horizontally, while in the advanced form, the tabs are arranged vertically. The tabs group the tags according to their type and meaning.
  
  Simple Editor
  Advanced Editor
  At the beginning of each tab, there is a compatibility table to quickly check which files are compatible with the displayed tags. Subsequent sections explain the meaning of this table.
  
  
• Tab Subdivision into Subsections: Each tab is divided into subsections to better categorize the tags. At the beginning of each subsection is a WRITE check used to exclude a specific subset of tags from the editing process.
  If you want to keep a subset of metadata intact within the file, you can exclude them from the editing process.
  
  
• Tag Modification: Each tag can be modified via an input field. The header of the input field is divided into two parts: the left part displays the title of the tag, and the question mark provides a short description. The right part indicates the accepted format.
• End of Editor Buttons: At the end of the editor, there are three buttons. The GO.EXIFING button submits the form and initiates the file modification process. The CLEAR button clears all form fields without making any changes to the file (you must always press GO.EXIFING to apply changes). The CLOSE button closes the form without making any changes.

The basic editor is available in the free version of the tool. The editable tags are grouped in tabs to make their identification easier. At the beginning of each tab, there is a compatibility table that indicates which files are compatible with the tags present in the tab. WARNING: theXifer.net supports different types of files and tags. Some tags are compatible only with specific file types. Therefore, the tabs in the editor change depending on the type of file you are editing.

For example, a .jpg file supports most of the available editor's tags, while a .pdf file supports only a small group of them.
When you load a .pdf file, you will see fewer tabs than when editing a .jpg file. The editor is designed to show you only the tabs compatible with the uploaded file. If you're editing a single file, you don't need to worry about checking tag compatibility. The editor will do this by displaying only the tags compatible with your file.

If you have a premium subscription and are editing multiple files at the same time, the visibility of the tags will depend on the types of files you are editing.
If the uploaded files are all of the same type (e.g., all .jpg images or all .pdf files), the editor will display only the tags supported by that file format.

If the uploaded files are a mix of two formats (e.g., some .jpg files and some .pdf files), the editor will display the tags supported by both formats.
In this case, pay attention to the compatibility table at the top of each tab.
Some tabs may be compatible only with .pdf files, while others are only compatible with .jpg files.
For example, when dealing with .jpg and .pdf files, the specific tags in the "PDF" tab will be modified only for the subset of files that are in .pdf format, while tags compatible with both formats will be modified in all files.

The question mark next to each tag will provide a brief description of the tag's meaning when you hover your mouse over it. Additionally, it will display information about the expected data format and length.

The advanced editor is available by default for premium users and allows you to edit many more tags than the basic editor.

Similar to the basic editor, tags are grouped into tabs. However, in the advanced editor, tabs are arranged vertically instead of horizontally. At the beginning of each tab, there is a compatibility table that indicates which files are compatible with the tags present in the tab. WARNING: theXifer.net supports different types of files and tags. Some tags are compatible only with specific file types. Therefore, the tabs in the editor change depending on the type of file you are editing.

For example, a .jpg file supports most of the available editor's tags, while a .pdf file supports only a small group of them.
When you load a .pdf file, you will see fewer tabs than when editing a .jpg file. The editor is designed to show you only the tabs compatible with the uploaded file. If you're editing a single file, you don't need to worry about checking tag compatibility. The editor will do this by displaying only the tags compatible with your file.

If you are editing multiple files at the same time, the visibility of the tags will depend on the types of files you are editing.
If the uploaded files are all of the same type (e.g., all .jpg images or all .pdf files), the editor will display only the tags supported by that file format.

If the uploaded files are a mix of two formats (e.g., some .jpg files and some .pdf files), the editor will display the tags supported by both formats.
In this case, pay attention to the compatibility table at the top of each card.
Some tabs may be compatible only with .pdf files, while others are only compatible with .jpg files.
For example, when dealing with .jpg and .pdf files, the specific tags in the "PDF" tab will be modified only for the subset of files that are in .pdf format, while tags compatible with both formats will be modified in all files.

The question mark next to each tag will provide a brief description of the tag's meaning when you hover your mouse over it. Additionally, it will display information about the expected data format and length.

Presets are a feature available exclusively to premium users. You can save up to a maximum of 30 presets for both the basic and advanced editors.
Premium users can still use the basic editor without any limitations and have the option to save specific presets for it (up to a maximum of 30 presets).

• Simple Editor - Presets
• Advanced Editor - Presets

Presets are used to expedite the process of filling out forms. For example, you can use presets to quickly apply the same information to files uploaded during different sessions or to streamline the editing of copyright information.

It's important to note that presets can only be used in the editor where they were saved. For instance, a preset created in the basic editor cannot be applied in the advanced editor.

To save a preset: after completing the form, click the ADD button. You will be prompted to enter a name for the preset so you can easily identify it later. The preset will immediately be available in the dropdown menu. You can modify an existing preset using the OVERWRITE button located under the MORE ACTIONS menu. After selecting an existing preset and clicking the FILL button, the form will be filled with the preset content. Any further changes can be saved by overwriting the same preset using the OVERWRITE function.

Similarly, you can rename or delete an existing preset using the RENAME and DELETE functions under the MORE ACTIONS menu.

To apply an existing preset, simply select it from the dropdown menu and click the FILL button. Please note again that presets are specific to both the basic and advanced forms. A preset saved in the basic editor will not be visible in the dropdown menu of the advanced editor, and vice versa.

The advanced editor includes a convenient tag search function. You can search for a specific tag by entering text in the input field visible in the screenshot. After clicking on a search result, the editor will highlight the selected tag, even if it's not in the currently displayed tab.

Batch processing offers a range of functions designed to efficiently manage multiple files simultaneously. For example, when you need to edit a collection of images to enhance a website's ranking, these files often have similar content. Batch editing allows you to apply changes to all the images collectively, and then you can fine-tune individual images if needed by clicking on the "EXIF.ME" button.

Batch operations can save you significant time, especially with a premium subscription that enables you to edit up to 100 files in one go.
Please note that batch operations are available only when you upload more than one file or select multiple images from the same cloud source.

Currently, there are several batch operation options available:

1. EXIF ALL THE FILES: This operation allows you to edit the metadata in a batch of files. After this process, all the uploaded files will have the same EXIF metadata. Take care when working with mixed file types, as the editor will display tabs compatible with all the uploaded files.
   
   For example, when uploading both images and videos, note that the supported metadata for images differs from that of videos. The editor will likely display tabs fully compatible with images (depending on the image type) but only some tabs will be compatible with videos. Therefore, while filling out the form, pay attention to the compatibility table at the beginning of each tab. Some tabs are applicable to both images and videos, while others (EXIF, IPTC, or XMP tags) are only relevant to images and not videos.
   
   After batch editing, depending on the batch's size, the editor will provide a message with the operation's results. If the uploaded batch is smaller than 310.0 MB, you can download it compressed in ZIP format. However, if the size exceeds 310.0 MB, you will need to close the editor and download each file individually.

2. CONVERT FILES TO .WEBP, .JPG, OR .PNG: WebP is a modern image format developed by Google, offering superior lossless and lossy compression for web images. You can use this tool not only to edit metadata in .WebP images but also to convert other formats to .WebP files without losing metadata.
   
   The conversion process preserves the metadata in the source files. For example, you can upload a group of .JPG files, modify their metadata, and then convert them to the .WebP format in a single step. Additionally, this conversion system supports other formats without metadata loss.
   Supported formats include WebP, TIFF, JPG, and PNG. Refer to the conversion table below for more details.
   
   
3. DATA COPY: This function enables you to efficiently copy data from one file to another, streamlining the process when dealing with extensive batches of files sharing similar information.
   
   To use this feature, follow these steps:
   • Select the source file containing the metadata you want to copy from the dropdown menu labeled "Select the source file to copy data from."
   • From the list of files below the dropdown menu, only checkmark the files where you intend to replicate this metadata.
   
   By doing so, the metadata of the destination files will be overwritten and become identical to the metadata contained in the source file. This functionality is particularly useful for maintaining consistency and uniformity across a set of files.
   
   
4. SYNCHRONIZE DATE TAGS: DateTime tag synchronization is a powerful batch operation for standardizing DateTime tags within uploaded files.
   
   Often, files may have DateTime tags with different values or some may lack DateTime tags entirely. This operation ensures that the DateTime tags within each individual file have uniform values.
   
   For example, suppose you upload three files, each with different DateTime tags:
   
   image-01:
   • EXIF CreateDate: 2022/05/11
   • EXIF DateTimeOriginal: 2022/01/22
   • XMP DateCreated: 2022/06/14
   
   
   image-02:
   • EXIF CreateDate: 2021/01/18
   • EXIF DateTimeOriginal: 2021/03/15
   • XMP DateCreated: 2021/08/04
   
   
   image-03:
   • EXIF CreateDate: 2020/06/12
   • EXIF DateTimeOriginal: 2020/08/11
   • XMP DateCreated: 2020/12/16
   
   
   Date synchronization allows you to choose a source DateTime tag and copy its content into other destination DateTime tags.
   
   The synchronization process is performed file by file. After the process, each file's DateTime tags will be synchronized with the source tag, which may contain different values for each file.
   
   For example, choosing EXIF: CreateDate as the source tag and EXIF: DateTimeOriginal and XMP: DateCreated as the destination, the result will be as follows:
   
   image-01:
   • EXIF CreateDate: 11/05/2022
   • EXIF DateTimeOriginal: 11/05/2022
   • XMP DateCreated: 11/05/2022
   
   
   image-02:
   • EXIF CreateDate: 2021/01/18
   • EXIF DateTimeOriginal: 2021/01/18
   • XMP DateCreated: 2021/01/18
   
   
   image-03:
   • EXIF CreateDate: 2020/06/12
   • EXIF DateTimeOriginal: 2020/06/12
   • XMP DateCreated: 2020/06/12
   
   
   Each file has been synchronized to the value contained in the EXIF: CreateDate tag. Please note that the three images had different EXIF: CreateDate values from each other.
   
   
5. PDF REPORTS: This feature generates PDF reports summarizing the changes made during batch processing, providing a comprehensive overview of the modifications.
   
   
6. DOWNLOAD ZIP: You can download the batch of processed files in a ZIP archive for easy storage and sharing.
   
   
7. DOWNLOAD OPTIMIZED ZIP: With this option, you can optimize a single file or the entire batch and download it as a compressed ZIP file.
   Downloading optimized ZIP files can be incredibly useful for various purposes. When you optimize a batch of images or files, their visual quality remains unchanged, and their metadata remains intact. The primary advantage is that the optimized files have reduced file sizes, making them more suitable for sharing on social networks, websites, or other online platforms.
   
   Optimized Image Size: 1.8 MB

   Original Image Size: 8.5 MB
   
   Here's why file optimization matters:
   
   
   • Reduced File Size: Optimized files are typically smaller in size compared to their original counterparts. This reduction in file size is achieved through efficient compression techniques, which ensure that the visual quality remains high while saving valuable storage space.
   
   
   • Improved Loading Times: Smaller file sizes translate to faster loading times, especially on websites and social media platforms. Optimized files load quickly, providing a smoother experience for viewers and visitors.
   
   
   • Bandwidth Savings: When you upload or share optimized files, you consume less bandwidth. This can be particularly beneficial for users with limited data plans or in scenarios where network resources are a concern.
   
   
   • Enhanced User Experience: Websites, blogs, and social media platforms often prioritize content that loads quickly and efficiently. By using optimized files, you can offer a more pleasant and responsive user experience to your audience.
   
   
   It's important to note that file optimization achieves smaller file sizes without compromising visual quality or altering metadata. This means that your images and files will still look great and contain all the necessary information, but they will be more suitable for online sharing and publication.
   
   With the ability to download optimized ZIP files, you can conveniently access a batch of files that are ready for online use, saving you time and ensuring that your content performs well in digital environments.

While the primary purpose of the eXifer.net tool is to manipulate EXIF, IPTC, and XMP metadata within files, we've also developed a robust image conversion system.

Given the widespread use of the WebP format, our tool offers the following conversion options:

With a user-friendly interface, our editor allows you to navigate through editing with ease. Adjust the aspect ratio with a simple click, choosing from standard dimensions like 16:9 for widescreen or 1:1 for that perfect square. Looking for a custom size? The 'Free' aspect ratio option is your canvas to define bespoke dimensions.
To open the image editor on theXifer.net, click on the small ruler icon located in the top left corner of the image thumbnail. This will launch the editor, ready for you to begin refining your image.



The toolbar at the bottom is your quick access to enhancement tools. Zoom in for a detailed touch-up or zoom out to view the bigger picture – literally. Crop, rotate, or adjust the angle with precision tools that respond in real-time, giving you a swift editing experience without compromising on accuracy.
Editing your image with theXifer.net's editor is a non-destructive process. The original Exif metadata – the heartbeat of your photo's history – remains untouched. From the moment you captured the shot, every setting, every location, and every timestamp is preserved. The notification at the top reassures you: "All metadata present in the original file will be kept intact."

theXifer.net's Metadata Viewer is a powerful tool that allows photographers and digital enthusiasts to explore the rich information hidden within their images.
To open the Metadata Viewer on theXifer.net, simply click on the eye icon highlighted in yellow next to the file of your choice. This will launch the viewer, allowing you to access and edit the metadata embedded in your media file.



Dive into the specifics with our detail-oriented display. The tabular format lays out metadata in a clear and readable manner, offering you a comprehensive overview of EXIF, IPTC, XMP, and more. It's designed not just to satisfy the curious mind but to assist the professional in detailed analysis and editing.



For those who require metadata in a more technical format, our Viewer also provides a RAW JSON view. This format is ideal for data extraction, programming needs, or simply for those who prefer a structured data representation.



With theXifer.net, managing your metadata is efficient and user-friendly. Copy the entire JSON data with a single click, or choose to export it as a PDF for documentation purposes. These functions are conveniently located both at the top and bottom of the Viewer, ensuring that they are always within reach no matter where you are on the page.

The Google Map embedded at the top of the editor is useful to visualize the Geotag Data of your picture.
During the editing of a single file, the data read will be displayed on the map.
If you'd like to Geotag an image or adjust the current cooordinates, you can move the map marker by simply dragging and dropping it.
The GPSLatitude and GPSLongitude values will change as you drag the marker to reflect the selected point's latitude and longitude.
You can also enter your own values into these fiels and click on the Set Map button to set the marker on the coordinates entered.

This feature works in both single and multiple editing, so you can batch process your images and embed a specific location into them.

Premium users have the option to customize the map height to suit their preferences.
This can be easily done by adjusting the slider and selecting from a range of predefined heights.
We also offer an 'OFF' setting, which completely removes the map, allowing for more space within the form.
If a user prefers not to use geolocation, they are free to remove the map entirely and focus solely on the form.

These settings will remain in place for future edits and even after logging out and back into the application.

The EXIF Cleaner option, located at the top right of the form, allows you to clear all EXIF Metadata from your uploaded multimedia files.
Enabling the EXIF CLEANER option will partially hide the editor. The sole purpose of using this feature is to completely remove all metadata from the file. You can use this feature in both single file editing and multiple file processing.
Please refer to the Upload Limits Table for any restrictions.

This is a shortcut to streamline photo editing for Facebook 360.
By enabling this function, the form fields will be automatically populated with the information recognized by Facebook 360. It is possible to make further adjustments or changes, but the information entered by clicking the flag is the essential data required to have the image recognized as a panoramic photo by Facebook.



Facebook currently supports these devices for 360 media:

360-degree Cameras

• Ricoh Theta S
• Giroptic 360 Cam
• Samsung Gear 360
• LG 360 Cam
• IC Realtech ALLie
• 360Fly
• Panono

iPhone or iPad

• iPhone 4S or newer
• iPad mini 2 or newer
• iPad Air and iPad Air 2
• iPad Pro

Samsung Galaxy

• Samsung Galaxy S5 or newer
• Note 3 or newer

If you've produced your own panorama without using one of these devices, you will need to adjust the GPano tags to have your picture recognized as 360 media by Facebook.
To do this, you can start by selecting a 360-degree camera from the EXIF tab:
More fine-tuning can be done using the XMP GPano tab, where you'll find all the tags that can transform a flat media into a 360-degree media (this works for both images and videos).

Facebook provides a helpful article on this type of metadata injection: Editing 360 Photos & Injecting Metadata

theXifer.net can be connected to Flickr, Dropbox, and Google Drive to edit the contents of these cloud sources.

After establishing the connection with the Cloud source, theXifer.net will display only the supported file types. For example, .doc files will not be displayed as the editor is unable to edit them.

The operations that can be performed within a cloud source are the same as those that can be performed by uploading a file.

The main difference is that the Cloud's files must be acquired by the exifer in order to be processed. So theXifer.net will download a copy of the original file to process it.

The process of editing a Cloud file can be summarized in the following operations:

• Login into the cloud source;
• Activate a function that requires the local copy of the file. For example: the EXIF.ME button (which reads the file's metadata and opens the editor) or the RAW READER button (which displays the metadata embedded in the selected file);
• During these operations, the source file will be downloaded automatically to our servers;
• Any change to the file will be made on the local copy. The original file saved in the cloud source will remain untouched;
• After editing, the local copy of the file can either be downloaded or written over the original file in the cloud source;

This approach provides maximum editing flexibility to users. For example, suppose you have a bunch of files to edit on Google Drive. You don't have to download them from Google Drive and then upload them to theXifer.net. You can simply edit your Google Drive files and choose whether to replace them or save a copy to your computer.

To better understand how your files are treated when using cloud sources, the previews visible in the app will change color or symbols will appear inside them. A small summary with the meaning of icons and colors is always accessible in the Cloud sections of the tool by pressing the HOW IT WORKS button.

In this section, there are some examples of editing in the different modes supported by theXifer.net tool.

In this example, we will see how to:

• change the EXIF metadata relating to the camera that acquired it;
• globally set a new recording date;
• add IPTC keywords to the image;
• geolocate an image;
• make a test conversion to another format;
• display the full metadata details through the RAW Reader;

In this example, we will see the behavior of the editor when files with different extensions are modified at the same time.
It's possible to edit multiple files at the same time, please refer to the Upload Limits Table to check the maximum number of files which you can process in a batch.

The upload procedure is the same as described before in the SINGLE EDITING EXAMPLE, the only difference is that instead of using the eXifing button, use the eXif All the Images button at the bottom of the page.

This button will bring up the same editor with all the tabs enabled but without any information filled into the form's fields.
This is because you're editing multiple files, with different EXIF Metadata already embedded, so it's not possible to combine the information together.

The form will be completely blank, and everything you write will be embedded into all the uploaded files.

In multiple editing, the editor will only show the cards compatible with the uploaded files. The visibility of the tabs depends on how many different types of files have been uploaded.

For example, if 10 .pdf files have been loaded, the editor will show only the cards compatible with .pdf files, as in the case of single editing.

If 5 .jpg and 5 .pdf files have been loaded, the editor will show the cards compatible with both types of files.
In this case, you will have to pay attention to the compatibility table at the beginning of each card.
Some cards will only work with .jpg files, others only with .pdf files, and others with both types of files.
So when filling out the form, it is important to check what information will be written in each file.

Mixed editing allows the user to edit different files in one shot but on the other hand, it could produce unexpected results if the compatibility table is ignored.

Please take a look at the supported file extensions at the top of each tab. If you're editing JPG and MP4 files together, for instance, no information apart from that written in the XMP and XMP GPano tabs will be recorded on the MP4 file (because this kind of file only supports XMP and XMP GPano tabs - please check the Metadata Compatibility Table for more information). After filling the form with the necessary information, click on the Go.eXifing
The edited pictures can be downloaded compressed into a .ZIP file if the total uploaded amount of data is less than 310.0 MB.
They can also be converted to other formats if their total size does not exceed 310.0 MB. Close the editor and click on the Download.me button under each file to get them one by one. If you need to fine-tune the edits, you can always click on the eXif.me button after a batch process.
The editor will display the metadata written during the previous process and will let you make more changes.
Please note that, in this case, the finely tuned images will not be compressed into a zip file; you'll have to download them one by one.

theXifer can edit your published photos on Flickr once you grant it access to your Flickr account.
Simply click the Sign in on Flickr button, log in to your Flickr account, and then Authorize this application.
We require both read and write access to your account because we need to replace your images with the updated ones. Your Flickr photos are now ready to be edited.
Make the necessary changes and save them directly to your Flickr account.
It's important to note that only your public photos will be visible in this section.
If you have created some Photosets on Flickr, you can filter them using the select list.
For more information regarding the editing process, please refer to the Single Editing Guide. Are you an Analog Photographer?
Are you a #FilmIsNotDead, #iShootFilm, #FilmCameraOnly, hashtag enthusiast?

With the eXifer, your Flickr photos will no longer display "Taken with: Epson Perfection V700/V750": You just need to change four EXIF fields in the first editor's tab:

EXIF General

1. Make
2. Model
3. LensMake
4. LensModel

And your analog picture will be recognized as it should be. If you'd like to be more specific, you can also set the values of:

EXIF Camera Settings

1. ISO
2. FNumber
3. ApertureValue
4. ShutterSpeedValue
5. FocalLength

These parameters are what Flickr reads to populate the camera information section.

theXifer can edit your images and videos stored in Dropbox.
To get started, click the DROPBOX AUTHORIZATION button. You will be redirected to the Dropbox login page, where you can authorize this application to access your Dropbox account. After authorization, you will be redirected back to theXifer.net. Your Dropbox files and folders will be accessible like a standard file explorer. Please note that only Supported Files will be visible.

You can navigate back quickly by using the breadcrumb navigation at the top of the explorer. The checkbox labeled "SHOW FILES PREVIEW" will display media thumbnails; however, please be aware that this feature may be slower on Dropbox compared to other cloud services. Edit any media as explained in the Single Editing Guide. After editing, theXifer will replace your Dropbox files with the modified versions. Your file will be replaced on Dropbox with the updated version by theXifer.

theXifer also supports Google Drive as a cloud source.
Click on the Sign in on Google Drive button and authorize this application. You'll be redirected back, and your Google Drive files and folders will be visible, just like in any file browser.
Keep in mind that only Supported Files will be visible. Edit any media by clicking on the eXif.me button. For more information about the editor, check the Single Editing Guide. Your file will not be replaced on Google Drive; theXifer will create another version of the same file.
You can always access your Google Drive account, select the edited file, and click on "Manage Versions." Google Drive will show you the new version created by theXifer, so you can always go back to the original version of the edited file (thanks to Google).
