MP3 Metadata Editor & Tag Editor
Change metadata on MP3 files online: edit the title, artist, album, year, genre, track number and cover art, fix broken ID3 tags, or remove MP3 metadata entirely. The same tool doubles as an audio metadata viewer for WAV, FLAC and M4A.
How to edit MP3 metadata
Drop your MP3s
One file or a whole album — the tag editor handles batches. Each file is parsed locally; its ID3v2 frames and any legacy ID3v1 tag appear in the table.
Edit the tags
Click a value to change it: Title (TIT2), Artist (TPE1), Album (TALB), Album Artist (TPE2), Genre (TCON), Track (TRCK), Year, Composer, Comment and more. “Add Tag” inserts any standard frame, including comments and cover-art aware fields.
Download or strip
Download writes a fresh ID3v2 block with your values — the audio stream is copied untouched. Prefer a clean file? “Remove All Metadata” deletes the ID3v2 block and the trailing ID3v1 tag in one go.
What's inside an MP3's metadata
ID3v2 — the main tag
A flexible block at the start of the file, built from frames. Text frames carry title, artist and album; APIC stores the cover art; COMM holds comments; TXXX and PRIV are free-form or private frames that some tools use for tracking. All of them are editable and removable here.
ID3v1 — the legacy tail
The last 128 bytes of older files: fixed-width 30-character fields and a numeric genre. Editors often write both formats, which is why a file can show two different titles. This tool shows both sections separately so you can clean the duplicates.
Other audio formats
The audio tab also parses WAV (RIFF INFO lists and embedded ID3), FLAC (Vorbis comments and cover art) and M4A (MP4 iTunes-style tags) — the same edit, delete and clear-everything workflow everywhere.
MP3 tag FAQ
How do I change metadata on an MP3?
Drag your MP3 into the editor above, click the tag value you want to change — title, artist, album, year, genre, track — type the new text, then press Download. The ID3 block is rebuilt with your values and the audio data is copied byte-for-byte.
How do I remove metadata from an MP3?
Delete individual frames with the trash icon, or press “Remove All Metadata” to strip the ID3v2 block and the legacy ID3v1 tag at once. The output is a plain MP3 with no tags at all.
Why does my player show garbled tag text?
That's usually an encoding mismatch — a Latin-1 tag being read as UTF-8 or vice versa. This editor detects the declared encoding (Latin-1, UTF-16 with BOM or UTF-8) per frame, and when you save, text is written as UTF-8 in ID3v2.4 so modern players display it correctly.
Can I edit the cover art of an MP3?
You can view existing cover art (the editor shows the embedded image as the file thumbnail) and remove it. Replacing an image isn't supported yet — the frame is preserved untouched when you edit other tags.
Does tag editing re-encode my music?
Never. Tags sit in a separate container before the audio frames. The editor rewrites only that container; the MPEG audio stream is copied unchanged, so there is zero quality loss.
