Version 3.00.2 extends Metadata++ beyond embedded metadata while improving its image workflow and format coverage.
Create a sidecar containing your own metadata for any file format, including formats that cannot store metadata internally.
Convert supported images to JPEG, PNG or WebP directly from Metadata++.
Use the new Save As command and apply visual effects from the fullscreen viewer.
Display GPR files, use additional palette formats and let Metadata++ work with an installed copy of GDAL.
Complete changes
Private by design
Metadata++ works locally and does not collect, store or transmit your files, metadata or personal information.
It remains free for both personal and professional use.
Authenticity
Always download Metadata++ from the official website. The published SHA-256 checksums let you confirm that the files have not been modified.
