EXIF & Metadata
EXIF Editor
Change the date a photo was taken, or edit camera, artist, copyright and description metadata — in batch, without recompressing your images, and without uploading them anywhere.
Metadata is rewritten locally, without recompression — nothing is uploaded.
Edit the fields to write — only fields you change are touched, everything else is preserved:
To edit EXIF data, drop JPG photos above — changes are written in your browser, nothing is uploaded. Set a new date taken (all three EXIF date fields), camera, artist, copyright or description; every other tag, GPS included, stays untouched, and pixels are never recompressed. JPEG only for now — convert other formats to JPG first.
Honest limits
- JPEG only in this version — the one format every app reads EXIF from the same way.
- Edits the common fields (dates, camera, artist, copyright, description) — not every exotic tag.
Need more than a browser can do? Desktop browsers go further than phones — and Media Moana converts at scale on hosted infrastructure.
How it works
Drop JPG photos
Add one photo or a whole batch — the same edits are written to all of them at once.
Edit the fields
Set a new date taken, camera, artist, copyright or description. Untouched fields stay exactly as they are.
Download
Metadata is rewritten locally with zero recompression — grab files one by one or as a ZIP.
Frequently asked questions
Is this safe? Do my photos get uploaded?
No upload happens — ever. Editing metadata runs entirely inside your browser using WebAssembly. Your files never leave your device, nothing is stored on any server, and the tool even keeps working if you go offline after the page loads. That's also why there are no file size limits, no queues and no sign-up.
Which metadata fields can I edit?
The date taken (written to all three EXIF date fields: DateTimeOriginal, DateTimeDigitized and DateTime), camera make and model, artist/photographer, copyright and image description. Only the fields you actually change are written — every other tag in the file, including GPS location and colour profile, is preserved exactly as it was. Clearing a field removes that tag.
Will Google Photos or Lightroom use the new date?
Yes. Photo libraries sort by the EXIF DateTimeOriginal field, and that is exactly what this tool rewrites. Change the date here, re-import the file, and Google Photos, Apple Photos and Lightroom will place it at the new point in your timeline — the standard fix for scanned photos and exports that show up under the wrong day.
Does editing metadata reduce image quality?
No. The metadata block is rewritten surgically while the compressed pixel data is copied through untouched, byte for byte. There is no decoding and no recompression, so the image itself is bit-identical to the original — only the EXIF tags change.
Why does this tool only accept JPEG files?
JPEG is the one format whose EXIF fields every photo app, library and print service reads and writes the same way, and its structure allows the metadata to be replaced without touching the image data. For HEIC, PNG, WebP, TIFF or RAW photos, convert to JPG first — the HEIC to JPG converter keeps your metadata — then edit the dates here.
Can I edit multiple photos at once?
Yes — the same edits are written to every photo in the batch, which is the quick fix for a scanned album that shares one date. For different dates per photo, run smaller batches. Everything happens locally, so there is no cap and no queue, and results download individually or as a ZIP.
Is there a file size or quantity limit?
There is no hard limit. Server-based converters cap uploads because your files consume their bandwidth and CPU; here rewriting metadata happens on your machine, so the only practical limit is your device's memory. Desktop browsers comfortably handle very large files and big batches.
