With this patented (pat pending) technology, you can change your photos from a digital liability to a true personal and family legacy. Capture essential details for accident reports or insurance claims. Preserve the magical moment captrued while bird watching forever. As easily as we used to write on the back of a printed photo, add a visible caption below your digital images. That caption will now display as part of the image in every photo-viewing software program that would open the original image. It is also automatically saved as searchable, indexable, digital metadata readable by many standard photo editors and emerging search tools. The original image is preserved, unmarred by any overlay, and the caption can be edited or removed at any time.
Open a photo, add a caption, look up location data using online mapping tools, preview the result, save the captioned image, and move on to the next photo. Easy Photo Caption(ing).
Then, unleash the power of AI to automatically generate captions for your other photos. Use captioned photos to train the AI to generate captions providing names of subjects, locations of buildings, and other data. Once trained, your AI agent can then create captions for other photos based on your prior captioning style. AI generated captions can be edited or removed at any time, just like manually created captions.
Captions are human readable in all photo viewing applications. Digital metadata is machine searchable.
These examples use actual images from the Easy Photo Caption workflow, showing how quickly a plain image can become a polished, shareable photo with the story preserved.
A potrait becomes a real person in time and place once a caption is added.
A simple outdoor photo becomes a complete story once the caption and photo creation date are added to the image itself.
Family History photos come to life when the caption is part of the image and stays with it wherever the file goes.
Record details of heirloom items and their values for insurance purposes.

Choose the license option that best fits how many and how often you caption photos:
All licensing is handled by Freemius.com, a third-party merchant-of-record, which collects and pays appropriate local sales or VAT taxes for your locality. Freemius also allows you to set up a personal account to deactivate licenses if you need to move the program from one PC to another. This can also be done from within the application. Licenses are delivered to your email from Freemius.com. Please save a copy of your license key in a secure location.

Monthly and annual subscriptions renew automatically at the end of each term unless or until cancelled. A reminder email may be sent to your registered email address in advance of renewal, reminding you of the renewal and the option to cancel. But regardless of any reminder emails, it is your responsibility to cancel the subscription before the end of the current term if you do not wish to renew. You can initiate the cancellation process from within the application or via the web directly from your account on freemius.com that will be created if you choose a monthly or annual subscription.
A Lifetime license is valid for the current major release version of the software and all minor updates / bug fixes to that major release. A new major release may be released in the future with new features and improvements, but a Lifetime license for a prior major release will not be valid for use with a new major release. If you purchase a Lifetime license, you will receive all minor updates to the current major release for free, but you will not receive access to future major releases without purchasing a new license -- subscription or lifetime -- for that major release. It is the sole discretion of the Easy Photo Caption development team to determine what constitutes a minor vs a major release.

It is aimed at Windows users who need a fast, easy way to caption images with both human-readable captions and machine-searchabe data without relying on a large general-purpose photo editor.
It does one thing really well: It adds human-readable captions (while automatically copying that caption into the photo's digital metadata that is machine-searchable). It can also rotate images to proper alignment and remove a prior caption when you need a fresh version. It integrates with online mapping tools to add location data. And it enables AI-powered agent training and caption generation.
Yes. Download the application for free. Confirm that it installs and runs correctly. And then activate the free trial using the in-app licensing option or via the trial license links on this website. (Images saved under the evaluation license carry a watermark.)
We hope to provide MacOS desktop and IOS mobile versions of this wonderful little program soon, based on demand for the Windows and Andriod version.
