How to Edit Video Metadata
Drop your video, fill in the fields you want to change, and download. Streams are copied as-is, nothing is re-encoded. The title is what players show first, the author field lands in the standard artist slot, and copyright marks your work. Empty fields stay untouched, so you can change just one thing without touching the rest. And because nothing gets re-encoded, the pixels stay byte-for-byte identical to your original.
- 1. Upload your videoDrop a video up to 300 MB. MP4, MOV and WebM all work.
- 2. Fill in the fieldsType the title, author or copyright you want. Leave a field empty and it stays unchanged.
- 3. Download instantlyThe video stream is copied byte-for-byte, so the file is ready in seconds and quality never changes.
- 4. Check it on any playerPlayers and platforms read the new title from the file itself, everywhere the video goes.
- Tip: metadata edits are lossless and instant, the video stream is copied byte-for-byte.
- Rename before you upload: a clear title is what platforms and players show first.
- The author field lands in the artist slot, which is what most players display under the title.
- Metadata edits never touch the pixels: the stream copy means zero quality loss, always.
FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Is Metadata Editor really free?
Yes — completely free, with no hidden fees, no premium tier and no signup required. The tool runs entirely in your browser.
Do I need to install anything to use Metadata Editor?
No. Metadata Editor works directly in your browser. There is no software to install, no app to download and no plugin required.
Is my video uploaded to a server when I use Metadata Editor?
Never. All processing happens locally on your device. Your file never leaves your computer, which is why there is no upload wait and no privacy risk.
Which video formats does Metadata Editor support?
It accepts MP4, WebM, MOV and MKV — anything your browser can decode. Output is MP4 by default, playable on any device.
What happens to my file after processing?
Nothing is stored anywhere. Once you close the tab, everything is gone. We have no server, no storage and no access to your files.
Will my video have a watermark?
No — every download is 100% watermark-free. EditVideo never adds logos, branding or watermarks to your files.
How do I edit video metadata like title and tags?
Load the video, change the fields (title, author, comments, date) and save, a new copy is written with your metadata. Title matters most: it's what file explorers and media players display. Everything happens locally, no upload.
Does editing metadata change the video itself?
No. Metadata lives in a small side container, the picture and sound streams are copied byte-for-byte with zero re-encoding. Quality, size of the video stream, duration: all identical. This is a pure info edit, nothing else.
Does changing metadata re-encode my video?
No. The video stream is copied without re-encoding, so the file is ready in seconds and the pixels stay identical.
Where does the new title show up?
In player title bars, file info panels and anywhere that reads the file's own metadata. Some platforms also read it when you upload.
Can I remove all metadata from a video?
This tool edits the title, author and copyright fields. It does not strip every metadata field, and fields you leave empty stay as they are.
Which video formats can I edit metadata on?
MP4, MOV and WebM all work, up to 300 MB per file. Most metadata edits work best on MP4, the format every platform reads.
Why does my media library still show the old title?
Some apps cache file metadata. Close and reopen the app, refresh the library, or re-import the file and the new title appears.
Can I edit metadata from my phone?
Yes. The tool runs in your mobile browser exactly like on desktop, and the file never leaves your device.
How long can a title be?
There is no hard limit, but players truncate long titles in their title bars. Keeping it under about 100 characters shows the full title everywhere.
Do I need to install anything?
Nothing. The whole tool runs in your browser, there is no account, and processing happens on your device in a couple of seconds.
Can I edit several videos at once?
The tool processes one file at a time. Run each video through, download it, and move to the next. Each pass takes only seconds.
Does my original file change?
No. You download a new copy with the edits applied. The original file on your device is never modified.
