Understanding copy image metadata
Metadata copying transfers selected embedded fields from one file to another.
Avoid copying location or ownership fields blindly. Confirm they describe the destination photograph.
A practical workflow
- Choose the required source files, if any. Files are handled as stated in the workspace privacy label.
- Set the available controls and apply the operation.
- Compare the actual output, check its dimensions and download the generated file.
Decisions and limitations
- No additional settings are required.
JPEG only. Copying capture or orientation metadata can change how another application displays the destination. XMP editing does not edit every EXIF camera field.
