What is IMG Metadata?
IMG file metadata is the descriptive information embedded within the file that provides details about its origin, properties, and characteristics. This data exists separately from the visible content and includes elements like timestamps, creator information, technical specifications, and file history.

Frequently Asked Questions
Are there any costs to use this IMG tool?
None whatsoever. We believe metadata editing should be accessible to everyone, so we've made this tool permanently free without any monetization through ads, data collection, or paid upgrades.
Do you store or access my IMG files?
It's technically impossible for us to access your files. The processing happens using JavaScript running in your browser tab, with no backend servers involved in the metadata manipulation process.
What metadata can I change in IMG files?
You have control over descriptive metadata like author names, creation timestamps, copyright information, and custom tags. Format-specific technical metadata may be viewable but not editable to maintain file integrity.
Is this compatible with mobile browsers?
Yes, we support all major mobile browsers including Safari on iOS, Chrome and Firefox on Android, and Samsung Internet. The layout automatically adjusts to fit your screen size.
Will my IMG file be damaged by editing metadata?
File damage is not possible with our tool. We only modify the metadata container while leaving the core file data untouched, similar to editing a document's properties without changing its content.
Can I edit multiple IMG files simultaneously?
The current version processes one file at a time, which actually provides better control and lets you review each file's metadata individually before making changes.
