Preserve EXIF Metadata with Star Watermark

Protect Images Without Losing EXIF Metadata

Star Watermark for Mac allows you to add watermarks to images while preserving EXIF metadata, such as date, location, and camera settings. This ensures your photos retain critical information for archiving, ownership verification, and professional use. Compatible with macOS 10.15+, the free version supports JPEG and other formats.

Why Preserve EXIF Metadata?

  • Ownership Proof: Verify image authenticity and ownership.
  • Archiving: Track image history for professional portfolios.
  • Image Quality: Ensure formats like RAW render correctly.
