Add copyright and creator information to your photos
Edit writes common descriptive fields into an image: title, description, creator, copyright notice, credit line, keywords and the date it was created. They are stored as one standard XMP packet that photo software such as Adobe Lightroom, Bridge and Photoshop can read.
Like Clean, Edit never re-encodes the picture. The image data is copied byte for byte and checked against the original, so adding your name costs nothing in quality. Apply the same creator and copyright to a whole batch at once.
How to add copyright to a photo
Add images
One photo or a whole batch of JPEG, PNG and WebP files.
Fill in the fields
The form starts from the first file's existing values. Leave any field empty to skip it.
Write and download
Write to every file, then download each one or a ZIP. Image data is verified identical.
Fields and where they are stored
| Field | XMP property |
|---|---|
| Title | dc:title |
| Description | dc:description |
| Creator | dc:creator |
| Copyright notice | dc:rights |
| Credit | photoshop:Credit |
| Keywords | dc:subject |
| Date created | photoshop:DateCreated |
Good to know
- Any existing XMP block is replaced, so fields you leave empty are not kept. EXIF and IPTC are left as they are.
- Editing a file with Content Credentials would make them show as invalid, so Edit removes them, or skips those files if you prefer.
Questions about Edit
How do I add copyright information to a photo?
Open Edit, add the photo, type your name in Creator and your notice in Copyright notice, then choose Write. Download the edited file; the copyright is stored in its XMP metadata.
Does editing metadata change the image quality?
No. Edit only replaces the XMP block. The compressed image data is copied unchanged and verified with a SHA-256 hash.
Can I add the same copyright to many photos?
Yes. Add all the photos, fill in the fields once, and write to every file in one go. Download them together as a ZIP.
