+# IPTC Web Editor
+
+A modern, browser-based editor for reading and writing IPTC-IIM metadata in JPEG files. Edit image metadata directly in your browser with support for seamless file handling.
+
+## Features
+
+- **Browser-based editing**: No installation required—edit metadata directly in your browser
+- **IPTC-IIM support**: Full read/write support for IPTC-IIM metadata standard
+- **Batch operations**: Manage multiple files at once with an intuitive interface
+- **File persistence**: Store file state locally using IndexedDB
+- **File System Access API**: Direct file reading and writing with permission handling by using the [File System Access API](https://developer.chrome.com/docs/capabilities/web-apis/file-system-access)
+- **Metadata validation**: Built-in validation for metadata fields
+- **TypeScript**: Type-safe codebase for better maintainability
+
+## Tech Stack

+
+## Getting Started
+
+### Prerequisites
+
+- Node.js 22+ (or use Docker)
+- pnpm 10.12.4
+
+### Installation
+
+1. Clone the repository:
+
+```bash
+git clone https://github.com/fegbert/iptc-web-editor.git
+cd iptc-web-editor
+```
+
+1. Install dependencies:
+
+```bash
+pnpm install
+```
+
+### Development
+
+Start the development server:
+
+```bash
+pnpm -C app dev
+```
+
+The application will be available at `http://localhost:3000`
+
+### Building
+
+Build for production:
+
+```bash
+pnpm -C app build
+```
+
+Preview the production build:
+
+```bash
+pnpm -C app preview
+```
+
+### Testing
+
+Run parser tests:
+
+```bash
+pnpm -C parser test
+```
+
+### Linting
+
+Check code quality:
+
+```bash
+pnpm lint
+```
+
+## Docker Deployment
+
+Build the image:
+
+```bash
+docker build -t iptc-web-editor .
+```
+
+Run the container:
+
+```bash
+docker run -p 3000:3000 iptc-web-editor
+```
+
+## How to Use
+
+1. **Load images**: Click "Load Images" to select JPEG files from your computer
+2. **View metadata**: Browse through IPTC-IIM metadata fields organized by category
+3. **Edit metadata**: Modify field values directly in the editor
+4. **Save**: Click "Save" to write changes back to the image file, or, if the File System Access API is not supported, download the modified file
+
+## API Documentation
+
+### Parser
+
+The `iptc-parser` package provides two main functions:
+
+```typescript
+// Parse metadata from a JPEG buffer
+parseMetadata(buffer: Uint8Array): Record<string, string>
+
+// Write metadata to a JPEG file
+writeMetadata(
+  image: File | Uint8Array,
+  metadata: Record<string, string>,
+  path?: string,
+  fileHandle?: FileSystemFileHandle
+): Promise<void>
+```
+
+## Contributing
+
+Currently contributions are not being accepted due to the project being a developed as a school project. However, feel free to fork the repository for personal use.
+
+## Browser Support
+
+The application is compatible with all modern browsers. The only limitation is the requirement of the IndexedDB. This is however supported by [all major browsers](https://caniuse.com/indexeddb).
+
+## Known Limitations
+
+- IPTC-IIM Repeatable Fields are currently not supported by the nuxt app. They can however be handled using the `iptc-parser` package directly.
+- The File System Access API is only supported in Chromium-based browsers. In unsupported browsers, files will be downloaded instead of being written directly.
+
+## Support

+For issues, questions, or suggestions, please open an issue on GitHub.
