Photo EXIF Editor — Change Date & GPS
Photo EXIF Editor lets you correct the metadata inside a JPEG: fix a wrong "date taken" (a camera with the wrong clock, a scan of an old print), set or remove the GPS location, and update artist and copyright fields. It rewrites only the metadata segment — the image data itself is untouched, so there's zero quality loss. Together with the Metadata Viewer and Metadata Remover, it completes the set: inspect, strip, or edit. Everything runs locally in your browser.

To change a photo's date taken or GPS location, open the JPEG here — its EXIF fields load into an editable form. Set a new date and time, enter new coordinates (or clear them), edit artist and copyright, and download a copy with the updated metadata. The pixels aren't re-encoded, so image quality is untouched, and the photo never leaves your browser.
🔒 Reading and writing EXIF happens entirely in your browser — your photo is never uploaded.
How to use Photo EXIF Editor — Change Date & GPS
- Choose a JPEG photo — its current EXIF loads into the form.
- Edit the date taken, GPS coordinates, artist or copyright — or clear individual fields.
- Download the copy with updated metadata (pixels untouched, no quality loss).
Frequently asked questions
How do I change the date taken on a photo?
Open the photo here, set the new date and time in the "date taken" field, and download. All three EXIF date fields (original, digitized, modified) are updated consistently so photo apps sort it correctly.
Does editing EXIF reduce image quality?
No — only the metadata bytes are rewritten; the compressed image data is copied through untouched, unlike editors that re-save (and re-compress) the JPEG.
Can I add a GPS location to a photo that has none?
Yes — enter latitude and longitude (decimal degrees, e.g. 40.7128, -74.0060) and they're written as proper EXIF GPS tags that map apps read.
Which formats are supported?
JPEG, which is where EXIF lives for photos. PNG and WebP use different metadata schemes; for stripping those, use the Metadata Remover.
Is my photo uploaded?
No — reading and writing EXIF happens entirely in your browser.
