Image Metadata Adder — Add EXIF Data to Photos Online

The Image Metadata Adder is a powerful, browser-based tool designed to help photographers, creators, designers, and digital professionals easily embed essential metadata into JPEG images — without installing any software or uploading files to a server. This tool runs entirely on the client side, meaning your photos remain private and secure on your own device at all times. With a clean and intuitive interface, users can add important EXIF fields such as Title, Description, Author Name, Copyright Information, and Creation Date to any JPEG file.

Metadata plays a crucial role in maintaining proper image organization, author identification, and copyright protection. Whether you're preparing photos for a portfolio, uploading them to stock photography websites, or sharing your work on social media, having well-structured EXIF metadata ensures your images carry proper attribution and context wherever they are used. This tool simplifies the process by allowing you to embed metadata instantly with a single click.

The workflow is designed to be extremely user-friendly. First, upload a JPEG image. The tool automatically displays a preview of the selected file, along with any existing metadata it already contains. From there, you can add or edit important details such as the image title, a detailed description, the photographer or artist’s name, and any copyright information you want to attach. You can also specify a custom creation date, which is automatically formatted into the proper EXIF date format. These fields help maintain accurate historical, artistic, and professional context for your images.

Once your details are filled in, clicking the “Embed & Download” button instantly rewrites the EXIF data and generates a new downloadable JPEG file containing the updated metadata. Because this tool relies entirely on client-side JavaScript and the piexif.js EXIF library, no external servers are involved. This results in both instant processing and complete privacy. Unlike many online metadata tools that upload your images to external servers, this tool guarantees that your work never leaves your browser window.

Additionally, users can inspect existing metadata inside any JPEG by using the “Read Existing Metadata” button. The tool extracts and displays embedded fields so creators can quickly check whether an image already contains attribution details or needs metadata added. Since some websites strip metadata during upload, being able to reapply metadata efficiently ensures your copyright and authorship remain clearly attached.

Whether you’re a professional photographer documenting your work, a business owner protecting branded images, or a digital creator ensuring proper credit, the Image Metadata Adder delivers a fast, secure, and reliable solution — all without requiring software installation or complex editing tools. Simple, effective, and privacy-focused, this tool makes metadata management accessible to everyone.
