Edit Flickr metadata with less friction.
Photo Stream Assistant edits Flickr metadata from a Mac, one photo at a time or across a selection: title, description, tags, dates, licence, safety level, content type, privacy and location. Title and description are always written together, so editing one never erases the other, which is a real risk when talking to Flickr's API directly.
Photo Stream Assistant gives Flickr Pro account owners a desktop-first metadata editor for repeated cleanup, controlled edits, and more consistent libraries.
Metadata quality shapes library quality
When titles, tags, descriptions, and dates drift over time, search quality drops and long-term organization gets harder. A dedicated metadata editor keeps the library useful.
- Fix metadata consistently instead of making ad hoc edits one photo at a time.
- Use search, selection, and edit tools together in a single Mac workflow.
- Bring titles, tags, dates, and descriptions back into a coherent structure.
What the editor helps you do
Step 1
Search or filter down to the exact photos that share the same issue.
Step 2
Review the set in a large desktop layout before changing anything.
Step 3
Apply metadata corrections with bulk tools or focused edit dialogs.

Frequently asked questions
Which metadata fields can I manage?
The app supports titles, descriptions, tags, dates, privacy-related settings, licensing, and other key Flickr management fields.
Who is this built for?
It is designed for Flickr Pro account owners who need stronger library control than the default browser workflow provides.
Do I need Pro Unlock?
No. Editing metadata is in the free app, in batches of 10 photos. Pro Unlock removes the batch limit and adds Insights, Places and album curation.
