Photo Exifer 3 is a macOS photo metadata editor for viewing, editing, copying, and removing EXIF, GPS, IPTC, and related image information.
What is Photo Exifer 3?
Photo Exifer 3 is a native macOS photo and photo-library metadata editor from Fireebok. It helps users inspect, change, copy, and remove metadata such as EXIF, GPS, IPTC, TIFF, XMP, and related image details for photos stored on a Mac and in supported photo libraries. Typical uses include correcting capture dates, updating titles and copyright fields, managing location data, and batch-processing large sets of images for archival, cataloging, or privacy cleanup. The app is aimed at photographers, photo organizers, and anyone who needs more control over metadata than the built-in Photos app provides. It also includes tools for duplicate-photo handling and some photo-library maintenance workflows, making it useful when preparing images for export, migration, or structured photo management on Mac.

Safety overview
Status: Mostly safe
Photo Exifer 3 is a legitimate photo-management utility whose metadata editing behavior matches its purpose. Because it works with photo metadata and photo libraries, users may be asked for access to photos, files, or Full Disk Access on macOS when editing library content; those permissions are consistent with the app’s functions but should be granted only if you use those features. Metadata changes can affect sorting, search, location details, and copyright fields, so review batch actions carefully before applying them to large libraries.
Recommendation: Keep Photo Exifer 3 if you actively edit photo metadata, manage large image collections, or need batch EXIF and GPS tools on your Mac. If you no longer use it, removing the app is usually fine, but export or back up important photo libraries first if you rely on its library-management features for ongoing organization.
