Using the editor
Every control in the editor, panel by panel. Credits are on the left, the photo in the middle, and the shot's own settings on the right.
Adding photos
There are three ways to add photos:
- Drag them onto the preview area.
- Click the preview area to browse for them.
- Copy an image and paste it with Ctrl+V (⌘+V on a Mac).
JPEG, PNG and WebP all work, and you can add several at once. Each one gets a thumbnail in the strip under the preview. Click a thumbnail to edit that photo, or the + tile to add more.
Photos appear in the strip as soon as each one is ready, in the order you added them, and you can start editing the first while the rest load. A bar under the preview shows how many are left. Any file that can't be opened is skipped, and the bar says how many were skipped.
The panel on the right stays greyed out until a photo is loaded.
Shot details
The fields that go on the photo. When a photo is added, everything its EXIF data holds is filled in for you and a read from EXIF tag appears beside the heading.
| Field | From EXIF | Looks like |
|---|---|---|
| Title | No, always typed | Sunset at the beach |
| Camera | Make and model | Canon EOS R5 |
| Lens | Lens model | RF 24-105mm |
| Focal length | Yes | 85mm |
| Aperture | Yes | f/2.8 |
| Shutter | Yes | 1/1000s |
| ISO | Yes | 100 |
Every field can be typed over, and anything you clear is left off the photo. Type ISO as just the number: the overlay adds "ISO" in front.
Shot details belong to each photo, so editing one photo doesn't change the others.
Copy these details to all photos
Appears when more than one photo is loaded. It copies the current photo's Title, Camera and Lens to every other photo. Focal length, aperture, shutter and ISO are copied only to photos that have no EXIF data of their own, so photos that were read correctly keep their real exposure.
A field is blank or looks wrong? Not every file carries every EXIF field. Photos that went through some editing or messaging apps lose it entirely. Type in whatever is missing.
Overlay styles
Where the details sit and which ones show. Switching styles keeps everything you've entered, and the chosen style applies to every loaded photo.
| Style | What it shows | Credits |
|---|---|---|
| Corner | A rounded box in the bottom-left: title, then exposure, then camera and lens. | Bottom-right |
| Bar | A band across the bottom: title on the left; exposure, camera and lens on the right. | Inside the band, under the details |
| Sidebar | A panel down the right edge: title, then each setting with its label. | Foot of the panel |
| Full | Dims the whole photo and centres the title, camera and lens, and exposure, like a title card. | Bottom-right |
Appearance
How the shot details look. These apply to every loaded photo.
| Control | What it does | Range |
|---|---|---|
| Font | Sans, Serif, Mono, Condensed, Display or Script. Each name in the list is shown in its own font. | Starts on Sans |
| Color | The text colour. See the colour picker. | Starts white |
| Backdrop | How dark the box, band, panel or dimmed frame behind the text is. | 0–100%, starts at 55% |
| Size | Scales the text and its backdrop together. | 0.5×–5×, starts at 1.0× |
Sizes are relative to the photo, so the overlay looks the same on a small export as on a full-size one.
The fonts are the ones already on your device, so a font can look slightly different on another computer. Check the preview before you download.
The colour picker
Click the swatch to open it. Pick a colour in the large square, set the hue with the rainbow slider, type a hex code such as #F3EDE2, or click one of the ten presets. Esc or clicking anywhere else closes it.
Credits
Your name and socials, in the left panel. Credits go on every photo. To keep them for next time, see Remember my settings.
Credit
Your name as it should appear. A © symbol is drawn in front automatically, so if you type one yourself it's left out to avoid doubling up.
Socials
+ Add social adds a row, picking a platform you haven't used yet. Change it in the dropdown, then type your handle. You can also paste your profile link: instagram.com/yourname becomes @yourname.
| Platforms | Shown as |
|---|---|
| Instagram, X, Threads, Bluesky, TikTok, YouTube | @yourhandle, with the @ added if you leave it off |
| Flickr, Facebook | The name exactly as typed |
| Website, Email | The address exactly as typed |
Several handles share a line when they fit and wrap onto more lines when they don't. The credit always gets a line of its own.
Hiding and removing
The eye button beside the credit and each social takes it off the photo without deleting what you typed. Click it again to bring it back. The × at the end of a social row removes it completely.
Show icons
Puts each platform's icon in front of its handle. Turn it off for text only. The © in front of the credit stays either way.
Credits appearance
Credits have their own Font, Color and Size, separate from the shot details. You can, for example, set the settings in Mono and your name in Script. The controls work the same as in Appearance, and Size runs from 0.5× to 5×.
Remember my settings
The checkbox under Credits appearance. It's off until you tick it, and until then nothing is kept: closing the tab resets everything.
When it's ticked, your credits, socials, credits appearance and shot details appearance are saved in this browser and filled in next time you open the editor. They're stored on your device only and never sent anywhere. Unticking it deletes them straight away.
Shot details and the chosen overlay style aren't saved, since they belong to the photos you're working on.
Export
Download photo saves the photo you're looking at as a JPEG at its full original resolution, whatever size the preview is. The file is named after the original with -overlay added, so IMG_4821.JPG saves as IMG_4821-overlay.jpg.
Download all appears when more than one photo is loaded. It saves every photo, with the current style and appearance, in one zip named after today's date, such as easy-exif-2026-10-22.zip. If two photos have the same name, the second gets a number instead of replacing the first. Very large sets, over about 1.5 GB, are split into several zips (-part1, -part2…).
Downloads don't include the original file's metadata. Your camera settings are on the image itself, and GPS location isn't passed along.
