The record

Purpose: MetaImage is a Mac app for reading and editing image, video, and audio metadata.
Metadata tags: The App Store listing says MetaImage supports over 5,000 tags, including EXIF, IPTC, XMP, MakerNotes, QuickTime, and ID3.
File formats: The product page says MetaImage supports more than 90 image formats, including PNG, JPEG, TIFF, and RAW files.
GPS tools: The app can edit GPS locations and directions on a map, find coordinates from addresses, and support altitude information.
Sidecars: MetaImage can read and write sidecar formats including EXIF, EXV, ICC, MIE, VRD, and XMP, and can synchronize, import, and export sidecars.
Photos library: The app can browse and import files from the Photos library and has a separate window for remotely batch editing files stored in Photos.
Metadata limitation: Maker notes can be edited but cannot be created or deleted, a restriction the maker says avoids compatibility problems with OEM software.
Photos extension limitation: Metadata cannot be edited directly from a Photos extension; the app instead edits a copy and lets users import that file back into Photos.
Download and try: The maker says MetaImage can be downloaded free from its website and is also available on the Mac App Store and Setapp; MetaImage Lite is available on the App Store.
System requirement: The product page says all versions require macOS 26 or later.
Privacy disclosure: Apple's listing says the developer indicated the app may collect device ID linked to the user for app functionality, and that Apple has not verified the disclosure.
Support: The maker offers an in-app feedback form and links to contact support, tutorials, and a support forum.
Maker: NeededApps describes itself as a small independent software company whose story began in Grenoble in 2012; it says the team became location-independent at the end of 2025.
