Every metadata app in one place

Ten apps for reading, editing, removing, extracting and comparing what is hidden inside your files.

See all metadata apps Open Workspace

One editor for photos, documents, music and video

Most metadata editors handle a single kind of file. This one opens a JPEG, a PDF, an MP3 and an MP4 with the same form.

The fields are grouped the way the file stores them

Metadata is not one list. A photograph carries EXIF written by the camera and XMP written by whatever edited it; a song carries ID3; a PDF carries document information. This editor keeps those apart and puts the name of each standard above the fields that belong to it, so you can see which part of the file you are changing rather than scrolling one long undifferentiated table. It is the clearest difference between this editor and the ones that show every tag in a single flat list.

Remove single fields, not just all of them

Every field has its own delete control, so you can strip the camera serial number or a stale author name while leaving the capture date and the copyright line exactly where they are. Nothing is committed until you save, a counter tells you how many fields are queued for removal, and anything you deleted by mistake can be restored with the same button. If you would rather clear everything at once, that is a different app and it is linked at the foot of this page.

Your file stays yours

Files travel over an encrypted connection to servers located in Europe, and the download link you get back is generated randomly so it cannot be guessed. Nobody reads or looks at what you upload: processing is fully automated, so there is no human interaction with the files. Your uploads are never used to train AI models, and you keep the copyright and ownership of both the file you send and the file you get back.

What you can open

The file comes back in the format it went in as, with the metadata you changed.

Kind of file	Formats	Typical fields
Photos and images	JPG, JPEG, PNG, GIF, TIFF, WEBP, HEIC	EXIF and XMP
PDF documents	PDF	Document information
Audio	MP3, FLAC, M4A, WAV, OGG	ID3 tags
Video	MP4, MOV, MKV, AVI	Container metadata
Microsoft Office	DOC, DOCX, XLS, XLSX, PPT, PPTX	Document properties
OpenDocument	ODT, ODS, ODP	Document properties

When people edit metadata

A camera with the wrong clock

A capture date set to the wrong year sorts an entire shoot into the wrong place. Correct the date field and the photos fall back into order.

A PDF that says Untitled

Readers, libraries and search all show a PDF's Title and Author rather than its filename. Set them and the document stops looking anonymous.

A misfiled album

Players group music by the artist and album written into the tags, not by folder. Fix the tags and the tracks stop scattering across the library.

Documents going out to a team

Files gather the properties of whoever last touched them. Normalise the author and company fields before the pack leaves the building.

How to edit metadata

Add your file

Drop a file into the box above, or pick one from your device or cloud storage. One file at a time.
Wait for the fields to load

The file is read first and its metadata comes back grouped by standard, so you land straight in the editor with the fields already filled in.
Change what you need

Type over any value, or use the delete control beside a field to queue it for removal. Restore anything you change your mind about, or reset every edit at once.
Save your changes

Saving writes the new metadata into a fresh copy of the file. The button stays disabled until there is something to save, and tells you why.
Download the file

You get the file back in the same format it went in as, carrying the metadata you set.

Frequently asked questions

How do I edit the metadata of a file?

Add the file at the top of this page. Its metadata is read and shown to you as a form grouped by standard, you change or delete the fields you want, and saving gives you the file back in its original format with the new values written in. Nothing is installed and no account is needed.

Which file types can I edit?

Images in JPG, JPEG, PNG, GIF, TIFF, WEBP and HEIC, PDF documents, audio in MP3, FLAC, M4A, WAV and OGG, video in MP4, MOV, MKV and AVI, Microsoft Office files in DOC, DOCX, XLS, XLSX, PPT and PPTX, and OpenDocument files in ODT, ODS and ODP.

Can I edit every field my file contains?

You can edit the fields the file itself allows to be written. Some values are read-only because they describe the file structure rather than its content, and those are shown to you but not offered for editing. If a file carries no editable fields at all, the editor says so rather than presenting an empty form.

Can I edit EXIF data on a photo?

Yes. EXIF fields appear in their own section, separate from XMP, so it is clear which standard you are editing. Which specific EXIF fields you can change depends on what the photo actually carries and on which of them are writable.

Can I delete one field instead of all of them?

Yes, and that is the point of the delete control next to each field. Removals are queued rather than applied immediately, a counter shows how many are pending, and every one can be restored before you save. To clear all metadata from a file in a single step, use the metadata remover instead.

Can I edit several files at once?

Not in one pass. The editor works on one file at a time so that every field it shows belongs to the file in front of you. For a batch, open the files one after another in the workspace.

Is editing metadata here free?

Yes, and no account is required. Free uploads go up to 75 MB per file.

What happens to the file I upload?

It travels over an encrypted connection to servers located in Europe, and the download link is generated randomly so it cannot be guessed. Processing is fully automated, so no person reads or looks at your file. Nothing you upload is used to train AI models, and you keep the copyright and ownership throughout.
