Overview

Write EXIF metadata into images in bulk — stamp copyright, author, caption, software and comments across an entire photo set in one run and get back tagged JPEG files ready to publish or deliver. The companion to stripping metadata: this one adds the ownership and attribution data you want images to carry.

Image EXIF Injector input — configure the options in the Apify Console

What it does

Writes copyright and author/artist into each image's EXIF.
Adds a description/caption, software name and a free-text comment.
Optionally keeps existing metadata and merges the new fields in.
Corrects orientation and outputs clean, web-ready JPEGs.
Returns a per-image report of which fields were written.

Use cases

Photographers & studios — stamp copyright and author across thousands of exports before delivery.
Stock & DAM pipelines — apply consistent attribution and captions to catalog images.
Agencies & brands — mark ownership on campaign assets in bulk.
Publishers — embed credit lines so attribution travels with the file.

FAQ

Which fields can I write? Copyright, author/artist, description/caption, software and a free-text user comment — the standard EXIF attribution fields.

Does it keep the existing metadata? By default yes — the new fields are merged. Turn off keepExisting to write only your fields.

What format are the results? Tagged images are saved as JPEG in the key-value store; the report dataset exports to JSON, CSV, Excel and XML.

Can I automate or integrate it? Yes. Connect it with almost any app via integrations on the Apify platform — Make, Zapier, Slack, Google Drive and more, plus the Apify API.

Notes
