How to use Metadata Editor
- Drop your JPG photos on the page or pick them from your device.
- Change the fields you want. A field you leave alone keeps the value it already has in each photo.
- Choose Save metadata. The new values are written into each file on your device.
- Download the edited photos one by one, or all together as a zip.
Frequently asked questions
Which formats can I edit?
JPG only. The editor does not open PNG, WebP or other formats. To clear the hidden data of those instead, use the metadata remover, which works with JPG, PNG and WebP.
Does editing metadata reduce image quality?
No. The image data is not decoded or compressed again. Only the EXIF segment of the file is rewritten, so every pixel is identical.
Why does another app still show the old title or author?
Some programs, such as Adobe Lightroom, keep information in an XMP block that this editor does not change, and they may read it before the EXIF data. Windows Explorer reads the EXIF title, author and keywords, so it shows your edits.
What happens to the camera details and the thumbnail?
The camera details, such as the model, lens, exposure and ISO, are kept as they are. The small thumbnail embedded in the file is dropped, and your apps create a new one when they need it.
Can I change or remove the GPS location?
Yes. Enter a latitude and longitude to set a new location, or choose Remove location to delete the coordinates and leave everything else unchanged.
Are my photos uploaded?
No. The metadata is edited in your browser. Your photos never leave your device, and there is no signup or watermark.
About Metadata Editor
This editor changes the descriptive information stored inside a JPG: the title and description, the author and copyright notice, a list of keywords, the date and time the photo was taken, and the GPS location. It is useful for crediting your own work before you publish it, fixing a wrong timestamp after a camera clock was set incorrectly, adding keywords so a photo is easy to find later, or correcting the location of a photo that was tagged in the wrong place. Clear a field and save to remove that one value without touching the rest.

Editing is lossless. The picture data in the file is copied as it is and only the EXIF segment is rewritten, so the image is exactly as sharp as before and is never decoded or compressed again. The camera details, such as make, model, lens, exposure, aperture, ISO and focal length, are kept and shown read only, so you can see what the file holds. One thing does change: the small preview image embedded in the EXIF data is dropped, and apps and file browsers generate a new one when they need it.
Where your edits show up depends on the program reading the file. Windows Explorer shows the title, author and keywords in a file's properties. Some applications, Adobe Lightroom among them, also store information in a separate XMP block. This editor leaves XMP data as it is, so a program that reads XMP before EXIF may keep showing the old values until you update them there. If you want everything gone instead of changed, use the metadata remover, which strips both.
Several photos can be edited together. When all of them share the same value for a field, you see it, and when they differ the field reads Multiple values. Only the fields you change are written, so setting one author for a whole shoot leaves each photo's own title, keywords and date alone. Everything runs in your browser, nothing is uploaded, and the finished files can be downloaded as a zip.
