How to edit MP3 tags online

Fix MP3 titles, artists, track numbers and album art. Tag one file or up to 10 together, free and without signup or audio re-encoding.

  1. 1

    Upload one or more MP3 files

    Use Single File for detailed editing or Batch Edit for an album or group.

  2. 2

    Review existing ID3 tags

    Check the title, artist, album, year, genre, track number, comment, and current artwork.

  3. 3

    Correct the tags and cover

    In Single File, edit the visible fields; clearing a text field removes that value. In Batch Edit, check only the shared fields to replace, review individual titles and track numbers, and optionally choose JPG or PNG artwork.

  4. 4

    Save the updated MP3

    Write ID3v2.3 tags to new files and download them individually or as a ZIP.

MP3 tagging use cases

Fix Unknown Artist in a player

Set Artist and Album in the downloaded MP3, then rescan your library. Renaming a file alone does not fill its embedded tags. Verify the downloaded copy before replacing a library entry.

Keep a short album together

Use Batch Edit for up to 10 tracks. Check Artist and Album, enter consistent spelling, and review each title and track number separately. Track numbers help only when the player sorts by track rather than filename.

Label lessons and spoken recordings

Use the lesson name as Title, speaker as Artist, and course as Album. Number the lessons in listening order. This updates file labels, not spoken content, chapters or a podcast RSS feed.

Replace a missing album cover

Choose a JPG or PNG you have permission to use and save it inside the MP3. Test in your target player: artwork display and caching vary, especially on older devices.

Example: organize three MP3 lessons

Use copies of your own recordings. The aim is consistent album details without giving every lesson the same title.

  1. 1

    Load the group

    Choose Batch Edit and select three MP3 files. Review their existing titles and track numbers before applying shared values.

  2. 2

    Apply only shared information

    Check Artist and Album, enter the speaker and course name, and leave unrelated shared fields unchecked. Set individual titles to Lesson 1, Lesson 2 and Lesson 3, with track numbers 1, 2 and 3.

  3. 3

    Save, inspect, then import

    Process the batch and check every file’s status. Download the ZIP, extract it and open the updated MP3s in your player. Select album/track sorting if needed; keep originals until you verify the results.

Know what this MP3 tag editor does—and does not do

ID3v2.3 output, not every ID3 feature

The export writes ID3v2.3 and copies the compressed audio stream without re-encoding. It rewrites the file container; preservation of every custom frame, lyric, chapter or DJ cue is not guaranteed. Keep originals when those details matter.

Manual tags, not automatic identification

There is no music-database lookup, fingerprint matching, filename-to-tag rule engine or album-artist field. Enter the information yourself. Use MP3 Editor if you need to change the sound.

Artwork replacement is not artwork removal

You can add or replace a JPG/PNG cover. Canceling a newly selected image does not delete the original embedded cover. This page is not a complete metadata-removal tool.

Small batches and local processing

Batch mode accepts up to 10 MP3s, 200 MiB per file and 500 MiB total; available browser memory may impose lower limits. Local files are processed in your browser. Page assets, encoder loading and remote imports can still require network requests.

New downloads, not renamed originals

Saving creates a new MP3 download and does not overwrite your original or rename files from their tags. ZIP downloads contain successful outputs; review failures separately. No account, payment or audio watermark is required.

MP3 tag and album-art troubleshooting

My player still shows the old name

Open the newly downloaded file and rescan the player’s library. Some players display filenames instead of Title, or cache an older library entry. Check the player’s display settings before editing again.

The album plays in the wrong order

Review each Track Number and use identical Album spelling. Choose track-number sorting in the destination player; filename sorting ignores these tags. This tool does not add album-artist or disc-number fields.

Batch artist or album did not change

Enable the checkbox beside the shared field before processing. Unchecked shared fields are not explicitly replaced. Individual titles and tracks are reviewed separately from these shared values.

I need FLAC or M4A tags

This page accepts MP3 only. Use Audio Metadata Editor for other supported formats; changing a filename extension does not convert the audio.

Frequently Asked Questions

What are ID3 tags?

Yes, you can add or replace JPG/PNG artwork. The current workflow cannot delete an existing embedded cover.

Yes. Batch mode accepts up to 10 MP3 files and applies only the shared fields you enable.
