QromaTag edits photo metadata and adds natural-language tags to make image collections searchable. Its macOS app writes IPTC and EXIF data to JPEG, TIFF, PNG, and DNG files, and can apply metadata to multiple images in one batch. Optional voice recognition uses built-in Mac dictation to turn spoken descriptions into metadata. Location Hints, Custom Places, and Pindrop Geotagging support location work, while original files can be backed up before changes. Relationship Manager maps terms such as “mom” and “dad” to full names. On iOS, images can come from iCloud, Dropbox, Camera Roll, or other apps, with iCloud syncing across connected devices. GEDCOM family trees can help tag relatives. QromaDrop’s Master Folder finds images missing date fields and moves tagged files. The iOS app costs 4.99 USD per once; macOS costs 49.99 USD per once with a 1-week free trial.
