File Types
Exif Editor opens the image formats listed below. Files with any other extension are skipped when you open files or folders.
The EXIF, IPTC, and XMP columns show what Exif Editor can do with each metadata section:
- Y – the section can be read, written, and created if it is not present yet.
- – – the format does not support the section, so the editors for its tags are not shown.
Support for a section does not mean every tag in that section can be changed. Some tags are read-only for particular formats. For example, the camera Make cannot be changed in RAW files.
