Google Images Now Supports IPTC Metadata 📸

Google and the IPTC have announced that Google Images will support IPTC metadata - specifically three copyright-related fields. This is huge news for people concerned with the integrity of images on the web.

The IPTC has posted a helpful quick start guide here: https://iptc.org/standards/photo-metadata/quick-guide-to-iptc-photo-metadata-and-google-images/ and offers an online metadata reader here https://getpmd.iptc.org/getiptcpmd.html

See the blog post version of this news here: https://www.carlseibert.com/google-images-adds-metadata-support/

On my blog, there is a great deal of HOW-TO information on adding metadata to photos and making sure your website is able to preserve and publish the information Google is now using. Go to metadatamatters.blog and search for what you need.
