The Problem
Photo prints hide the technical details that matter to photographers. Every print I order from CVS or Walgreens comes out looking the same—no context about the camera settings, lens, or exposure choices that went into making the image.
What I Built
EXIF Photo Printer—a macOS app that adds camera metadata to your photo borders before printing.
Workflow:
- Drag photos into the app
- EXIF data is extracted automatically
- Pick your print size (4x6, 5x7, 8x10, etc.)
- Download print-ready files at 300 DPI
Each print shows:
- Camera model and lens
- Aperture, shutter speed, ISO
- Capture date
- Additional metadata when available
Why This Exists
I wanted my printed photos to feel like pages from a field notebook—the technical choices visible alongside the image. Now when I look at a print, I remember how I made it, not just what I saw.
