Everything You Need to Fix Face Metadata

A complete toolkit for repairing, editing, and exporting photo face region metadata across all standards.

Multi-Standard Synchronization

Photo management software often writes face regions in only one format — leaving other apps out of sync. We read and write all three simultaneously so every tool sees consistent face tags.

  • MWG (Metadata Working Group) face regions
  • Microsoft Photo face regions (used by Windows)
  • IPTC Extension person regions

Rotation-Aware Face Region Repair

When a photo is rotated — in-camera, during editing, or on export — face region coordinates break silently. Our engine recalculates all coordinates precisely to match the image's new orientation.

  • Handles all 8 EXIF orientations
  • Works with HEIC, JPEG, PNG, WEBP
  • Detects and corrects coordinate drift from software mix-ups

Visual Face Region Editor

See your face regions rendered directly on the photo. Drag to reposition, resize handles to adjust boundaries, and type names inline — no guessing at coordinates.

  • Real-time preview of all face boxes
  • Add, delete, rename, and resize regions
  • Works on desktop and tablet browsers

Clean Export Options

Save your corrected image in the format you need — with metadata embedded directly in the file, or as a separate XMP sidecar for non-destructive workflows.

  • Embedded metadata (no sidecar required)
  • XMP sidecar export option
  • PDF report with face regions and metadata summary
  • Convert to JPEG on export (optional)

AI Object & Pet Detection

The AI detection engine goes beyond human faces. It recognises pets, vehicles, and other objects in your photos — letting you tag and document everything in your collection, not just people.

  • Detects faces, pets (dogs, cats) and vehicles
  • Tag animals and objects with custom names
  • Same multi-standard metadata output (MWG, IPTC, Microsoft)
  • Combine with manual regions for complete coverage

OCR Text & Date Scanning

Many old photos have handwritten dates, studio stamps, or captions on the back. Upload the front and back of a print together — the OCR engine reads the text and extracted dates drop straight into your image metadata.

  • Recognises printed text and handwritten notes
  • Extracts and normalises dates in dozens of formats
  • Auto-scans back-of-photo images (upload both sides at once)
  • Adds extracted text directly to embedded metadata fields
  • Draggable results dialog — see the image while reviewing

Private by Design

Your photos are your photos. We process them temporarily and delete them automatically — no exceptions.

  • Images deleted within hours of processing
  • Never shared with third parties
  • Never used for AI training or analytics
  • HTTPS encryption on all transfers
