Edit your Photos IPTC Metadata on iOS

Create IPTC Templates as Re-usable Actions Using your iPad

Edit IPTC Metadata in Bulk Anywhere Using your iPad

Filebrowser Professional has always had professional photographers in mind. Its latest feature allows you to change IPTC metadata on photos in bulk. Simply browse to a photo folder on your iOS device, a USB drive, computer, or cloud storage and start a Custom Task.

Save Templates

Work smarter by saving your IPTC metadata changes as preset Custom Tasks. Apply them to selected files or whole folders, and create multiple tasks to set metadata for different clients and projects. For example:

Client 1

Keywords - Buildings,People,Nightlife
Copyright Notice - Client 1
City - New York
Province/State - New York State

Client 2

Keywords - Wildlife,Animals,Coastline
Copyright Notice - Client 2
City - Rockport
Province/State - Maine

Personal Work

Keywords - Beach,Sea,Body builder
Copyright Notice - Arnold Feringo
City - Oakwood
Province/State - Los Angeles

You can edit the following IPTC properties: Caption, Object Name, Copyright Notice, Keywords, Source, Byline, City, Sub Location, State

How you run the IPTC custom tasks is up to you. Run one for all files in the current folder, or choose to include files in subfolders by adding an "Include files/folders" action step. You can also run a task on the currently selected images in a folder like this:

Step 1

Select a group of images to change their IPTC properties. (You don't have to update these images now, but this makes it easy to create a new custom task.) From the actions menu, choose "Create Task (n)".

Step 2

Give your Custom Task a name.

Ensure the top section is set to "selection when task is run" and tap "Add Step".

Step 2 - Name your Custom Task and add a step

Step 3

In the new section tap the "Including files/folders..." drop-down and change it to "Set Image Properties".

Step 4

Tap "None" and a popup will appear allowing you to edit the IPTC properties for the image files. When finished tap "Set".

Keywords should be separated by commas or spaces. For example: fish, tank.

Step 5

Either tap "Start Task" to run it immediately, or select new files in a folder and choose "Run Task" to re-run this new task on different files.

Estimated Time: 2 minutes
