Metadata is information stored alongside a photo that helps organize, identify, and understand it.

Some metadata is technical and created automatically, while other metadata can be added by people to preserve memories and context.

Technical Metadata

Technical metadata includes details such as:

• File type
• Image resolution
• Date scanned or created
• Device or camera information

What Metadata Means in Photomyne

In Photomyne, metadata also helps preserve the story behind the photo.

Users can add details like:

• Names of people
• Dates and locations
• Photo descriptions and family stories
• Albums and searchable tags

This turns scanned photos into organized, searchable family memory archives - not just digital image files.
