IPTC
IPTC Photo Metadata on Mac
IPTC is the news and stock photography language for who, what, where, and rights. Agencies depend on it remaining intact across handoffs.
Apps are available exclusively on the Mac App Store.
Mac-native IPTC inspection helps editors verify captions, bylines, and usage terms before publication.
Exporting IPTC fields supports rights audits and multi-desk workflows without a second CMS for camera originals. For deeper keyword mapping and copyright field checklists, see the Keywords and Copyright topics on this site.
