JpgKeywords

In the eventuality that you are planning on organizing your photo albums, then the easiest way to do it is via keywords or tags. Keywords refer to a type of metadata that adds an extra layer of information to your files and that have the role of describing them.   

JpgKeywords is a tiny tool designed to help you edit keywords in JPG files. The utility can come in handy when you are re-organizing the pictures in new albums or when you want to edit camera-added metadata.

The app is available as an installer or portable version, so you can choose your preferred setup. The interface is rather rugged, but intuitive and unlikely to give you any trouble, regardless of your experience with similar tools. Functionality-wise the app is as simple to use as it looks, meaning that the app displays all JPG files along with their keywords as soon as you open a desired folder.

According to the developer, the keywords are saved directly in the files, so you do not have to worry about renaming or moving the image to another folder. At the same time, the keywords have UTF-9 text encoding and hence, they can be changed and stored to any language.

It is important to note that the app does not change the image and does not come with editing features. If you want to make some modifications, you should look for other third-party software.

You will be happy to learn that the application allows you to drag and drop the keywords from one photo to another as well as multiple images at once. You can copy and paste keywords and rename the tags in multiple photos at once.

While JpgKeywords is a user-friendly program that enables you to conveniently manage and edit metadata in files in batch, it solely works with JPG files and cannot handle progressive JPG files.
