What Exif Pilot is

Exif Pilot is Windows software for viewing, editing, creating, and removing image metadata. It works with EXIF, EXIF GPS, IPTC, and XMP data; the free editor also lets users add, change, and remove image keywords. EXIF and IPTC data can be imported or exported using XML, MS Excel, or CSV text files. The software can create and edit Photo Sphere metadata for panorama images. JPEG, TIFF, PNG, DNG, several camera RAW formats, 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 a tag value across photos, metadata import and export, and command-line editing and creation. It costs €79.95 once, and the files being processed must be in the same directory. Excel import and export with 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.
