How to View EXIF Data in XnView MP
To view EXIF data, simply open an image. The lower left pane reveals metadata about the image. The EXIF section, or the EXIFtool section, of that pane reveals all the metadata encoded within the image. XnView MP supports editing of IPTC information. The International Press Telecommunications Council has set authoritative standards about photo metadata that are widely accepted. To modify IPTC information, select an image then click Tools > Metadata > Edit IPTC/XMP. In the pop-up window, you’ll be presented with all available IPTC metadata, to which you’re free to edit, add, or delete.
Metadata Viewing Tools
Different applications can display varying degrees of EXIF data. Windows Explorer and macOS Finder, for example, both reveal some EXIF data within the operating system. Specialized image-editing software, like Adobe Photoshop and Adobe Bridge, support both the viewing and the editing of some metadata. For light-duty image-management work, though, the XnView MP application — free for personal use and available for Windows, Mac, and Linux — reveals all EXIF data and supports the removal of some EXIF data.
