Metadata Editor
What it 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 clear C2PA metadata. Editing fields cover 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. Full editing works with JPEG and TIFF, while reading and removal also support PNG and WebP. RAW and HEIC files are unsupported. The remover can clear GPS data, timestamps, device details, copyright fields, and provenance markers when ExifTool can remove them. Files are uploaded over HTTPS, processed on the maker’s servers, and deleted after the result is returned. The maker says operations do not recompress images or alter resolution, colors, or format. No account, watermark, or file-count limit is listed. Google Analytics and AdSense may set cookies and collect usage data.
