Audio Metadata Viewer
View MP3 tags, cover art, and audio details — privately.
100% in your browser — nothing is uploaded
Audio Metadata Viewer
The Audio Metadata Viewer reads a file's hidden details — title, artist, album, genre, year, and embedded cover art — along with technical info like duration, sample rate, and channels, all in your browser. Drop in a track and it parses the ID3 tags and decodes the audio locally to show you everything at a glance, with no upload and no account. This is genuine day-to-day utility for anyone organizing a music library: checking why a track shows the wrong artist in a player, confirming an export has the cover art you set, auditing the bitrate and sample rate of a file before you publish, or simply seeing what is inside a download. For people working with AI-generated music, it is a quick way to verify the format and quality of an exported track and to inspect the tags before distribution. Because metadata can also contain information you would rather not share, the tool offers a one-click option to download a clean copy with the tags stripped — useful before sending a file onward. As with the other audio tools here, your file never leaves your device: tag parsing and decoding happen entirely in the browser, so even unreleased material stays private. Tags are most complete on MP3 files; formats like WAV often carry little or no tag data, in which case the tool still shows you the full technical breakdown decoded from the audio itself. It is free, needs no account, and works on desktop and mobile, so seeing what is inside a track takes only a few seconds.
How to use it
- 1
Add a file
Drag in an audio file or browse to it. Tags and audio are read locally — nothing uploads.
- 2
Review the details
See title, artist, album, genre, year, and cover art, plus duration, sample rate, and channels.
- 3
Strip metadata (optional)
Download a clean copy with tags removed if you want to share the audio without its details.
Made for AI music creators
Before you publish an AI-generated track, check its format, quality, and tags here — and strip metadata for a clean copy — all privately in your browser.
Frequently asked questions
What metadata can it read?
Common ID3 tags — title, artist, album, genre, and year — plus embedded cover art, and technical details decoded from the audio: duration, sample rate, and channel count. MP3 files carry the most tag data.
Is my file uploaded to read its tags?
No. Parsing and decoding happen entirely in your browser. Your file never leaves your device, so unreleased tracks stay private.
How do I remove metadata from an audio file?
Use the strip option to download a clean copy. It re-exports the audio as a WAV without the original tags, so none of the embedded details travel with the file.
Why are some fields empty?
Not every file has tags. WAV and some exports carry little or no ID3 data, so those fields will be blank — but the technical info decoded from the audio will still show.
What does sample rate mean?
It is how many audio samples are stored per second (e.g. 44,100 Hz for CD quality). Along with channel count and bit depth, it determines the file's fidelity and size.
