Bulk Tags, Captions & Ratings

BatchMeta: Photo Keywords

Organize your photo library in batches. Add keywords, captions and ratings, preview every change, and undo when needed.

Free to start · 25-photo batches free · One-time Unlimited upgrade · iPhone, iOS 27 or later

Make your photo library easier to organize, one batch at a time.

Add meaningful keywords, captions and star ratings to photos in your existing library. Label a family gathering, describe a trip, or mark favorites for a personal archive without editing every photo separately.

Select a useful group

Browse by month, choose a date range, or filter your library. Keep existing metadata in view as you review the proposed changes.

Keywords, captions & ratings

Add or remove keyword tokens, replace or append captions, and set ratings across a batch.

Edit with confidence

The review screen shows how many photos will change and gives before-and-after examples. Photos that already match are skipped.

Keep your vocabulary tidy

Browse existing keywords and rename or remove them across matching photos. Your labels stay in your photo library, not a separate catalog.

Undo when you need to

Recent changes keeps a local history so you can undo eligible changes. Undo remains free, including for large batches. Photos changed again later are checked before restoration.

Private by design

BatchMeta processes metadata on your device. It does not upload your photos or collect analytics. No account required.

FAQ

Is BatchMeta free?

Yes. You can change up to 25 photos per batch for free. BatchMeta Unlimited is a one-time purchase that unlocks larger batches. There is no subscription.

Does BatchMeta upload my photos?

No. BatchMeta processes metadata on your device. It does not upload your photos or collect analytics, and it doesn't require an account. Your system photo-library syncing settings (such as iCloud Photos) still apply.

Why does it need full photo-library access?

Full photo-library access is required for keyword editing. You can change photo permissions in iOS Settings.

Can I undo a batch?

Yes. Recent changes keeps a local history so you can undo eligible changes, and undo remains free. Photos changed again later are checked before restoration and may be skipped to preserve those newer edits.

Are ratings included when I export photos?

Ratings appear in Photos across your synced devices, but they are not included when exporting files.

How do I restore my purchase?

Restore Purchases is in About and on the upgrade screen. Use the Apple Account associated with the purchase.

What do I need to run it?
