Organizing photos so we can search, enjoy, and share them is an important project. There are lots of mobile apps, web sites, and computer software to manage your photos, but you want to do such a big project the right way the first time. Industry-standard metadata adds invisible tags to your photos that include important details such as dates, people, places, events, and more. These searchable tags aren’t limited to specific phones, apps, or platforms and are the best way to organize photos for decades and generations to come.
