What Is Image Metadata Editor?

An image metadata editor that lets you view, add, and modify metadata fields embedded in image files. Edit common fields like title, description, author, copyright, and custom tags. The tool reads existing metadata and presents editable fields in a clean form. Since Canvas re-encoding strips EXIF, user-entered metadata is encoded as text data in the output. Useful for photographers, content creators, and digital asset managers.

Technical Guide

The editor reads existing metadata from the uploaded file and populates form fields. User modifications are tracked as a delta object. On export, the tool re-renders the image via Canvas. For PNG output, metadata is stored in tEXt chunks. The download includes all user-specified fields. A before/after comparison shows which fields were modified.
