Write IPTC metadata once, then ship it across the batch
Build a single metadata pack for title, subject, copyright, usage and keywords. ExifPixel applies it to JPEGs in one pass and can generate matching XMP sidecars for richer downstream workflows.
Drop JPEGs to apply a rights pack
Build one reusable metadata pack for title, rights and keywords, then write it into a whole batch of JPEGs. Optionally export matching XMP sidecars too.
Create the metadata once
The JPEG export writes compatible author, copyright, description and Windows XP text fields. When you enable sidecars, ExifPixel also creates XMP files for richer IPTC-style workflows.
Practical batch rights metadata, without pretending the browser is a full DAM
JPEG metadata support is uneven across apps, so this tool takes a pragmatic approach. It writes the most portable author, copyright and descriptive fields into the JPEG itself, then optionally pairs them with XMP sidecars for tools that expect a richer metadata layer.
That makes it useful for portfolio exports, listing libraries, newsroom handoffs and stock-photo preparation where consistency matters more than hand-editing file by file.
Frequently asked questions
Does this write true IPTC metadata into the JPEG?
It writes widely compatible JPEG text fields and can also create XMP sidecars for richer IPTC-style workflows. That combination is practical across many apps without risking image recompression.
Why offer XMP sidecars too?
Some newsroom, archive and stock pipelines read richer structured metadata from XMP more reliably than from embedded JPEG text fields alone.
Can I apply the same pack to many photos at once?
Yes. This tool is designed exactly for that: one rights pack, one batch export.
