Exif Pilot
The maker lists its address as 1328 Tbilisi, Georgia.
What it is
Exif Pilot is Windows software for viewing, editing, creating, and removing image metadata. It works with EXIF, EXIF GPS, IPTC, and XMP data, and the free editor can add, edit, or remove image keywords. EXIF and IPTC data can be imported or exported through XML, MS Excel, and CSV text files. The software can also create and edit Photo Sphere metadata for panorama images. JPEG, TIFF, PNG, DNG, NEF, PEF, CR2, CRW, JP2, ORF, SRW, ARW, SR2, and PSD support reading, editing, and creation; MRW, RW2, PGF, EPS, HEIC, and RAF are read-only. A paid Batch Editing Plugin adds multi-photo processing, copying tag values between photos, metadata import and export, and command-line editing and creation. It costs €79.95 once, and files processed with it must be in the same directory. Excel import and export in the 64-bit version requires listed Microsoft Excel and Access components. The maker says the program is provided as-is, with no planned upgrades or technical support.
