XMP sidecars are external XML files that contain metadata related to media files. Many applications read and write these files either exclusively or in addition to the metadata written to image files. They can be a powerful tool for editing and storing metadata of a media file without modifying the mdia file itself. When Immich receives or detects an XMP sidecar for a media file, it will attempt to extract the metadata from both the sidecar as well as the media file. It will prioritize the metadata for fields in the sidecar but will fall back and use the metadata in the media file if necessary.

When importing files via the CLI bulk uploader, Immich will automatically detect XMP sidecar files as files that exist next to the original media file and have the exact same name with an additional `.xmp` file extension (i.e., `PXL_20230401_203352928.MP.jpg` and `PXL_20230401_203352928.MP.jpg.xmp`).
