Yes, it’s possible, with IrfanView!
When using “Add overlay text” to image, you can select almost any possible metadata item to be outputted onto the image! In a single image, or in a batch.
(or choose “Add watermark” in combination with the above overlay text)
The list of possible parameter is almost endless:

Not used that for ages ! ...
We're going back a long time though... It was something to do with analysing satellite photo's ... uhmmm, it's a blur ... does all sorts of things, seem to remember it wasn't 100% intuitive out of the box, but once you got into it and worked out what they were trying to do it all sort of fell into place.
