I'm adding keyword metadata to a set of images in Preview.app, MacOS 10.6.6

I can select multiple images and create a keyword using the Keywords window.

But when I save, all but one image is deselected and the keyword info is only applied to that image.

I would prefer not to use iPhoto, so I don't have to

  • add images to it's database
  • create an album or event

Is there a way to do this in Preview or some similarly lightweight way to add keywords to a set of images at once?

Preview is not AppleScriptable, and there's no Automator action to do this.


If you have Aperture, there's an Automator action to apply keywords to images.


MacMetaMod is a third party droplet application that can apply keywords to selected files.

MacMetaMod uses ExifTool internally, which can probably be wrapped in a Mac OS X Service. It can be used from Terminal directly though:

exiftool −keywords+=newkeyword test.jpg
