JPEG Tag Editor

Wanting to customize image files with additional information through tags can be a real hassle, especially when dealing with large numbers of data. Manually inputting tags through the file properties menu can be both time consuming and tiring. JPEG Tag Editor was designed specifically for providing users with the means to create and edit tags for multiple JPEG files simultaneously, with support for entries such as subject, title, keywords or comments.

One can choose to input the JPEG files by either navigating to their corresponding directory or by dragging-and-dropping the files onto the interface. This is a nice touch, as some users might prefer the latter, which could be considered more comfortable.

By indicating the directory, the app will automatically load all the JPEG files, but this raises the problem of not being able to add any filters. More advanced users could consider this a bit irritating.

Having proceeded with adding the preferred files, one can then use the dedicated tag-entry screen and add custom titles, keywords, subjects or comments to the images. This can also be done for files that have existing tags, which is beneficial.

However, after entering the information in the required fields, users need to press the “Save” button each time in order to register the data. This could be counter-intuitive as far as efficiency goes and it would have been nice to have the option of using hotkeys.

JPEG Tag Editor will help users create and edit tags for their JPEG files, through a minimalist package that also supports batch processing, but which lacks essential features such as hotkeys.
