EXIF Editor

EXIF data is the information stored inside a photo file: the date it was taken, the camera and lens, and fields such as title, author and copyright. It can be changed without touching the image itself, so the picture stays exactly the same.

How to edit EXIF data in a photo

  1. Drop your photos

    Add one photo to see and edit its current values, or several to give them all the same author, copyright, date or keywords.

  2. Change the fields

    Type the new values. With one photo, clearing a field removes it. With several, empty fields keep each photo's own value.

  3. Download

    Press the button to write the changes. One photo downloads on its own; several download together as a ZIP with their original file names.

Why use this tool

Copyright in every standard

Author and copyright are written to the EXIF, IPTC and XMP fields at once, so photo apps, stock sites and Google Images all show the same owner.

Fix the date taken

Set a new date and time for photos from a camera with the wrong clock. The original, digitized and modified dates move together.

Batch edit

Drop a whole shoot and apply one copyright notice, author or keyword list to every photo. Fields left empty stay as they were in each file.

No quality loss

Only the metadata is rewritten. The image data is copied as it is, with no re-compression, so the pixels are identical to the original.

Photos stay on your device

Files are edited in your browser and never uploaded. The photo reader downloads once, about 7 MB, and is reused for the rest of the visit.

About this tool

Every photo carries a block of text alongside the image: when it was taken, which camera and lens took it, and optional fields for a title, description, author, copyright notice, star rating and keywords. This editor shows ten of the fields people change most and writes them back without re-saving the picture. JPG, PNG, WebP and HEIC files are supported.

Copyright and author information is stored in three places for historical reasons: EXIF, used by cameras and Windows; IPTC, used by news agencies, WordPress and stock libraries; and XMP, used by Lightroom and Photoshop. The editor writes all of them, so the owner shows up the same wherever the file goes. Keywords and the title follow the same rule.

With one photo, the form starts with the values already in the file, and clearing a field deletes it. With several photos, the form starts empty and only the fields you fill are written, which makes it quick to stamp a copyright notice on a whole folder or fix the date on photos from a camera set to the wrong time zone.

Editing changes what is stored, it does not hide what was there. To strip location and camera details before sharing instead, use the EXIF remover or the metadata stripper. To move or remove only the location, use the GPS editor, and to add alt text for the web, the image SEO tagger.

Frequently asked questions

How does the EXIF editor work?
It reads the metadata from your photo, shows the editable fields in a form, and writes the values you change back into the same file. The image data is copied unchanged, so only the text fields differ from the original.
Are my photos uploaded?
No. Photos are read and edited in your browser and never leave your device. The photo reader, about 7 MB, is downloaded once the first time you use it.
How do I add copyright to a photo?
Drop the photo, type your name under Author and a notice such as "© 2026 Your Name. All rights reserved." under Copyright, then download. The Add © button fills in the symbol and the year for you.
Which files can I edit?
JPG, PNG, WebP and HEIC photos. Camera RAW files are not supported. Photos are processed one at a time, so large batches work but take a little longer; very large files are limited by the memory of your device.
Can I change the date of many photos at once?
Yes. Drop all of them, set the date taken, and leave the other fields empty. Every photo gets the same date and time, and everything else in each file stays as it was.
Does editing reduce the quality of the photo?
No. The picture is not decoded or compressed again. Only the metadata section of the file is rewritten, so the downloaded photo looks exactly like the original.
