Need Batch Metadata ability... - artistslawyer - 01-09-2023

Hi.  I need to change, correct, and update Metadata in bulk - by the thousands.  The data is stored in excel spreadsheets and don't know how to code.  Is there software or a tutorial on how to make this happen?  Thanks

The go-to solution to alter metadata in image files is a command line tool called exiftool (free, available for Win/OSX/Linux). It will accept a CSV file as input (CSV are easy to obtain from Excel) but you may have to massage your Excel sheet into a CSV with the proper data. You'll get more informed answer by asking in their forum.
