TagSmith

About

TagSmith is a free Windows desktop app for viewing and batch-editing photo and video metadata, including dates, GPS information, keywords, and location fields. It previews proposed changes before writing them to files. Timestamp editing covers EXIF, XMP, QuickTime, and filesystem data, and the app can recover capture dates from structured filenames. Location tools include offline lookup across about 68,000 cities, GPS propagation from phone photos by timestamp, and reverse geocoding. Keyword and structured location edits are written to XMP and legacy IPTC groups for compatibility with tools such as Lightroom and Capture One. Scanning and ordinary metadata editing happen locally, and the app works offline by default. Optional landmark identification uses Google Gemini and Google Places, requires internet access, and is off by default. The maker says this feature sends a downsized preview rather than the original photo and retains no copy afterward. TagSmith requires 64-bit Windows 10 or 11 and is distributed through the Microsoft Store. Its FAQ lists common image and video formats, including RAW formats from major camera brands.
