Online Metadata Editor: Edit Your Photo's EXIF Data

ExifClean is a free online metadata editor: drop a photo to edit, add or change its EXIF, IPTC and XMP fields (author, copyright, date, keywords, description), then download the updated image. Your original file is never modified.

Your original file is never modified. Every action produces a new image.

How do I edit the metadata of a photo?

Upload your image, then work on clearly-labelled fields, with no raw tag names. Click a value to edit it, add a common field, or remove one. Everything is staged until you apply, which produces a new, edited image.

What metadata fields can I edit?

  • Author & copyright:credit yourself and assert rights across EXIF, IPTC and XMP at once.
  • Date & time:change the capture or creation date (DateTimeOriginal).
  • Description & keywords:add a caption or tags for cataloguing.
  • Software:set or correct the declared creator tool.
  • GPS:remove the location specifically (or keep it).

How do I add copyright and author in one click?

Save an identity in My profile (author, copyright, software) once, then apply it to any image with the Sign my image action, handy for photographers and e-commerce sellers batching many photos.

How is editing different from removing metadata?

Editing rewrites the fields you choose; removing clears them. If your goal is privacy, use the dedicated remove metadata tool. To simply read what a file contains first, open the EXIF & metadata viewer.

Frequently asked questions

How do I edit image metadata online?

Upload the photo above. ExifClean reads every field, then lets you edit a value, add a common field (author, copyright, date, description, keywords) or delete one. Changes are batched and applied at once to a new image; your original is never touched.

Can I change a photo's date (EXIF DateTimeOriginal)?

Yes. Open the metadata, edit the date field to the value you want, and download the updated copy. You can change capture date, author, copyright, software and more.

How do I add author and copyright to a photo?

Use the “Sign my image” action, or add the Author and Copyright fields manually. ExifClean writes them across EXIF, IPTC and XMP at once so they stay consistent. You can save a reusable profile to apply it in one click next time.

Does editing metadata change image quality?

No. Metadata is rewritten without recompressing the image, so the pixels are byte-for-byte identical, and the colour profile and orientation are preserved.

Which image formats can I edit?

JPEG, PNG, WebP, HEIC/HEIF, TIFF and GIF, up to 25 MB.
