Metadata Editor

Image Metadata Editor

Open any JPG, PNG, WEBP, or TIFF and see exactly what metadata it carries. Edit the title, keywords, copyright, creator, GPS coordinates, dates, and more, then write your changes straight back into the file with ExifTool.

Overview

Unlike the rest of the Appzo toolkit, the metadata editor reads and writes tags with ExifTool on the server, so it handles the full EXIF, IPTC, and XMP standards. Your image is processed in a private temporary location and removed after the session — it is never stored permanently or shared.

What this tool does

The metadata editor reads the tags embedded in your image with ExifTool, lays them out in a form grouped by purpose — SEO, keywords, creator, copyright, GPS, dates, and more — and writes your edits back into the file. Keywords and subjects are saved as proper tag lists, GPS and rating values are stored as numbers, and the file is re-read after every save so you always see what actually landed on disk.

Problems it solves

  • A photo is missing the title, keywords, or copyright a CMS or stock site requires.
  • EXIF GPS coordinates are wrong or need to be removed.
  • You need to set the creator, credit, and rights on a batch of exported images.
  • You want to inspect every hidden tag a camera or editor left behind.

Key benefits

  • View every EXIF, IPTC, and XMP tag in one place
  • Edit titles, keywords, copyright, GPS, dates, and ratings
  • Powered by ExifTool for accurate, standards-compliant writes
  • Works with JPG, PNG, WEBP, and TIFF

How to use it

  1. 1

    Upload your image

    Drag and drop a JPG, PNG, WEBP, or TIFF, or click to browse. ExifTool reads the file and fills the form with whatever metadata it already contains.

  2. 2

    Review the existing tags

    The 'All metadata' panel lists every tag found in the file. Use it to confirm what's there before you change anything.

  3. 3

    Edit the fields

    Update any field — title, keywords, copyright, GPS, dates, rating, comments. Keywords and subjects take comma-separated values; ratings use 1 to 5 stars.

  4. 4

    Save and download

    Click Save Metadata to write your changes with ExifTool, then download the updated image. The form reloads from the saved file so you can verify the result.

Example input and output

Example input

A JPG exported from a camera with GPS data but no title, keywords, or copyright.

Example output

The same JPG with a title, ten keywords, a copyright notice, and a 5-star rating embedded.

ExifTool wrote the new IPTC and XMP fields without touching the original pixels, so the photo is unchanged but now carries the metadata a stock library or CMS expects.

Common use cases

Tag images for SEO

Add descriptive titles, captions, and keywords so images are easier to find and rank in image search.

Set copyright and credit

Stamp your name, copyright notice, and usage rights across photos before you publish or license them.

Fix or remove GPS data

Correct an inaccurate location or clear coordinates you don't want to share when posting publicly.

Tips & best practices

  • Dates use EXIF formatting

    Enter dates as YYYY:MM:DD HH:MM:SS — for example, 2026:06:21 10:00:00.

  • Keywords are comma-separated

    Type keywords separated by commas; each one is saved as its own tag in the file.
