Safe Metadata Editor
Remove source image metadata and write selected authorship, copyright, title, and description fields to a new image.
This editor accepts images up to 4 MB on this deployment. Use the main tool's Fast mode for larger images.

How It Works
Processing location depends on the selected tool and mode. Browser-based tools process files locally; advanced image processing may send the selected file to the ZeroMeta processing endpoint. Files are not intended to be stored permanently.
Select File
Upload an image whose public copyright or authorship tags you wish to update.
Configure Safe Tags
Enter your desired Author, Creator, Copyright notice, and Title.
Export Sanitized File
ZeroMeta removes source metadata during re-encoding, then writes the selected EXIF fields and its software tag.
Supported File Formats & Capabilities
ZeroMeta validates authentic file binary headers and signatures prior to processing.
| Format | Extension | Inspection / Stripping Scope | Technical Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| JPEG / PNG / WebP / GIF / TIFF | .jpg, .jpeg, .png, .webp, .gif, .tif, .tiff | EXIF Artist, Copyright, ImageDescription, Software, Title, and Keywords | Source metadata is stripped; selected EXIF fields are written to the output. |
Privacy Considerations
- Source EXIF, XMP, and IPTC metadata are not preserved; selected EXIF fields and the ZeroMeta software tag are written.
- GPS coordinates and camera serial numbers from the source are not copied to the output image.
Technical Boundaries
- •Metadata editing currently supports raster images only; PDF and audio metadata editing is not available in this tool.
- •Some output formats do not support every EXIF tag, so tag availability varies by format.
Frequently Asked Questions
Why edit metadata instead of just removing it?
Photographers, artists, and creators often want to remove their physical location and home device serials while preserving their copyright and artist credit.
