How to open and use Xmp file that exported from Photos?

What’s Xmp file? Xmp file is a sidecar file which stores a description, title, author, copyright, keyboard, and other information of photo. Export IPTC as XMP is a very useful option in Photos Export feature, it will save photo IPTC metadata in the Xmp format. If you have many exported Xmp file , but you don't know how to open and use it? This article will guide you how to use these Xmp files.

When we make some changes in the photo app, the photo will not overwrite the original photo, it will save the changes in its own database file. If you have ever added and edited location data, keywords, and titles in your photos, when you export the unmodified original photo, it will keep the changed metadata in the Xmp file. Many photo processing applications can read Xmp files when importing photos and will restore metadata from this file.

We recommend an application- Xmp Editor, which can open, edit and change IPTC metadata in Xmp files, and supports batch writing Xmp files into photos. Download and install Xmp Editor from Mac AppStore.

Run Xmp Editor application, and open a Xmp file to view and edit metadata information.
