EXIF Editor - Edit Image Metadata Online
See everything your photo knows about itself - and change it. Edit camera details, dates, copyright, and descriptions, drop a pin from a Google Maps link to set the GPS location, delete single tags, or wipe the metadata completely. It all happens in your browser: your photo is never uploaded anywhere, and the pixels stay exactly as they are.
Allowed Filetypes: All image formats (JPG, PNG, TIFF, RAW, etc.)
How to edit EXIF data online
- 1Drop your photo into the upload area or click to browse. The file stays on your device the whole time - nothing is uploaded to any server.
- 2Look through the metadata, grouped the way it's stored: EXIF, XMP, IPTC, and more. Click into any field to change it, use the trash icon to remove a tag, or add missing ones like Artist or Copyright.
- 3Want a location on the photo? Paste a Google Maps link or plain coordinates into 'Set GPS location' and the GPS tags are filled in for you.
- 4Click 'Save & Download' to get your updated image - or 'Erase all metadata' for a completely clean file. The pixels are never re-encoded, so there's zero quality loss.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is my photo uploaded to a server?
No. The editor runs ExifTool - the same tool professionals use - compiled to WebAssembly, directly in your browser. Your image never leaves your device, so it's safe to use even for private or sensitive photos.
Which metadata can I edit - and why are some fields read-only?
You can edit every writable EXIF, XMP, and IPTC tag: camera make and model, dates, GPS coordinates, artist, copyright, descriptions, keywords, and hundreds more. Some sections are shown read-only because they genuinely can't be edited field by field: the ICC color profile and maker notes are single binary blocks with internal checksums, and computed values like megapixels are derived from the file itself. No tool can safely rewrite those individually - but 'Erase all metadata' removes them along with everything else.
How do I add GPS coordinates from Google Maps?
The easiest way: in Google Maps, right-click the exact spot and click the coordinates at the top of the menu - that copies them. Paste them into the 'Set GPS location' box and click Apply; the four EXIF GPS tags are filled in for you. Pasting a full Google Maps, Apple Maps, or OpenStreetMap URL works too, as do DMS coordinates like 52°30'58.6"N 13°22'39.7"E.
Why doesn't my Google Maps link work?
Two common reasons. Shortened share links (maps.app.goo.gl) hide their coordinates behind a redirect that a browser page isn't allowed to follow - open the short link in a new tab and copy the full URL from the address bar instead. And some place or search links simply contain no coordinates yet - right-click the location on the map and copy the coordinates directly, which always works.
How do I delete a single EXIF tag - or all of them?
Click the trash icon next to any tag to mark it for removal, then hit 'Save & Download'. Clearing a field's value removes that tag too. If you want a completely clean file - say, before posting a photo publicly - 'Erase all metadata' strips everything in one go, including GPS location and camera serial numbers. And if you need to strip metadata from many photos at once, our Remove EXIF Data tool handles whole batches in one drag and drop.
Can I change the date a photo was taken?
Yes. Edit the DateTimeOriginal or CreateDate tags in the EXIF section, keeping the format you see there (e.g. 2026:08:04 14:30:00). Handy when a camera's clock was set wrong or a scan should carry the date of the original picture.
Which image formats are supported?
JPG, PNG, TIFF, WebP, HEIC/HEIF, AVIF, GIF, and DNG. Formats without writable metadata, like SVG, aren't accepted - for those, there's nothing to edit.
Does editing metadata reduce my image quality?
No. Only the metadata section of the file is rewritten; the image data itself is copied over byte for byte. No recompression, no quality loss - the picture that comes out is pixel-identical to the one you put in.
What if I just want to view EXIF data without changing anything?
Then the EXIF Data Viewer is the quicker choice: it shows every tag your photo carries - camera settings, dates, and the GPS position with a map link - with zero risk of touching the file.
