{ } How to use

- Fill in the fields you want to set — anything left blank is not written.
- Select Process and download. Check the result with Image Info & EXIF Viewer.
{ } How it works
Edit Image Metadata works on the file you upload. Adjust the options, then select Process ▸ and it runs entirely in your browser — nothing is uploaded to a server — then shows the result in the Output panel.
Inputs
- JPG image — upload a file (.jpg,.jpeg,image/jpeg); it is read locally in your browser
- Artist / author — a value
- Copyright — a value
- Description — a value
- Software — a value
- Date and time (YYYY:MM:DD HH:MM:SS) — a value
- Camera make — a value
- Camera model — a value
- Orientation — choose one — Leave unset, Normal, Rotate 90° clockwise, Rotate 180°, Rotate 90° anticlockwise (default: Leave unset)
Output
A downloadable JPG file — use the Download button in the Output panel.
{ } Common uses
- Stamp your name and a copyright line onto photographs before publishing them.
- Add a description that photo software and screen readers can pick up.
- Fix a photo that displays sideways by correcting its orientation flag.
{ } Limitations
- JPG only. PNG and WebP store metadata differently, and there is no EXIF segment to write.
- Existing EXIF is replaced rather than merged. A partial edit that left half of the old camera’s fields behind would look deliberate and be wrong.
- The fields listed are the ones worth editing by hand. GPS coordinates, lens data and maker notes are read-only here.
{ } FAQ
Is my data uploaded to a server?
No. Everything runs locally in your browser — your files never leave your device.
Can I process more than one file at once?
Yes — add several files and they’re all processed and downloaded together as a ZIP.
Is this tool free?
Yes — it’s completely free and needs no sign-up.
Does this re-compress my photo?
No, and that is the point. Only the metadata segment is rewritten; the compressed image data is copied across byte for byte. A tool that decoded and re-encoded the picture would lose a little quality every time you corrected a typo in a copyright line.
Why was my accented character changed?
EXIF text fields are 7-bit ASCII. Characters outside that are replaced with a question mark rather than written as bytes other software would misread. Keep names plain, or put the full text in a caption elsewhere.
Will this make my photo private?
No — the opposite. This writes metadata. To strip it, including GPS, use Remove Image Metadata.
