The record

Purpose: ExifToolGUI is a graphical interface for viewing and editing metadata with ExifTool.
Metadata viewing: The project describes its goal as viewing all metadata tags recognized by ExifTool.
Metadata editing: The GUI supports editing frequently used metadata tags and modifying multiple selected files at once where appropriate.
Metadata formats: The documentation lists metadata export to TXT, MIE, XMP, EXIF, and HTML files.
GPS and maps: The app includes an OpenStreetMap map feature and geocoding using Overpass API or geocode.maps.co; internet access must be enabled for map and geocoding features.
Map integration: MapTiler registration and an API key are required to choose additional map base layers beyond the standard layers.
Windows integration: Optional Windows features include Explorer context menu registration, single-instance mode, and minimizing to the system tray.
ExifTool dependency: ExifTool is a requirement, and the installer can take care of required components; some features require a recent ExifTool version.
Portable option: A portable version is available and does not need installation; it creates temporary files and saves settings under the user's APPDATA directory by default.
Supported Windows: The documentation says it should run on Windows 7 and 8 in 32-bit or 64-bit, recommends Windows 10 or 11 for map and geocoding, and excludes Windows XP or earlier.
Security and source: The project states that all source code is on GitHub, uses no closed-source third-party libraries, and is licensed under GPL-3.0.
Image operations: JPG rotation and cropping are handled in native Delphi code, without requiring Jhead.exe or Jpegtran.exe.
Release: The repository identifies V6.3.12, updated May 8, 2026, as its released version and links to a latest release download.
Maker: The project README says Frank revived the ExifToolGUI project in 2023; it does not state an HQ or founding year for a company.
