what such dataEXIF?

EXIF data is key information about images. They are also called metadata.

Metadata is created by the device on which the picture was taken. Image editors (like Photoshop) can supplement metadata with new details, like version number and applied changes.

Some programs allow you to edit EXIF ​​data manually.

Metadata includes: image resolution, file name, size, camera model, location, shutter speed, ISO, date and time, copyright information, description, preview, etc.

Metadata oniphone,iPad AndMac

Metadata can be created and viewed in both iOS and macOS.

iOS may interpret some metadata (for example, show location on a map in Photo), but you need a third-party application to view EXIF ​​data.

On macOS Mojave, this data can now be viewed in Finder. Below we describe how this is done.

Another macOS Mojave Quick Actions feature allows you to edit images in the same window. The toolbar is located under the metadata.

Depending on the type of file selected, you can perform different actions. For example, PDF files can be password protected, etc. Videos can be cropped or rotated quickly.

Photos can be rotated and edited using the Markup tools. You can even work with multiple files at once.

macOS Mojave contains other Finder changes as well as improvements to the system as a whole. For example, files on the desktop are now conveniently sorted automatically.
