What Metadata Editor is

Metadata Editor is a free web tool for reading, editing, and removing image metadata. Its tools support EXIF, IPTC, and XMP, while the remover can also strip C2PA metadata. Editing fields include camera, lens, exposure, GPS, author, image properties, copyright, and rights; captions and keywords are not yet editable. The reader presents supported EXIF, IPTC, and XMP tags together in one panel. Full editing is available for JPEG and TIFF, while reading and removal also support PNG and WebP; RAW and HEIC are unsupported. The remover can clear GPS, timestamps, device details, copyright fields, and provenance markers when ExifTool can remove them. Files are uploaded over HTTPS, processed on the maker’s servers with ExifTool, and deleted after results are returned. The maker says metadata operations do not recompress images or change resolution, colors, or format. The free plan requires no account, adds no watermark, and has no file-count limit. The site uses Google Analytics and Google AdSense, which may set cookies and collect device or usage data under their own policies. Alexis Guay operates and built the site. Its privacy policy says there is no subscription, and its legal notice permits personal and non-commercial use.
