MetadataViewerMP3 Metadata Viewer & Remover
Read the ID3 tags inside any MP3 — title, artist, album, cover art, encoder — and strip them all with one click. Audio frames stay untouched.
MP3 files can carry ID3 tags such as title, artist, album, year, genre, embedded cover art, comments and encoder information. This tool parses supported ID3v2 frames and legacy ID3v1 fields locally and reports the values it recognizes.
Click Remove metadata & download and both tag blocks are sliced off at byte level — the MPEG audio frames are copied verbatim, so there is zero quality change. Useful for sharing recordings without personal tags, cleaning bulk libraries, or stripping bloated embedded artwork that makes files bigger than they need to be.
Frequently asked questions
What are ID3 tags?
ID3 is the metadata standard for MP3: a v2 block at the start of the file (title, artist, album, cover art, comments) and an optional 128-byte v1 trailer at the end. This tool reads and removes both.
Does removing ID3 tags affect audio quality?
No. The audio frames are copied byte-for-byte; only the tag blocks are removed. The file simply gets smaller.
