Free online M3U editor & IPTV playlist toolkit

M3U Edit is a browser-based M3U editor for cleaning, splitting, sorting, and converting IPTV playlists — with no software to install and no signup for the core tools. Everything runs in your browser, so your provider URL, credentials, and channels never touch our servers. It handles M3U, M3U8, and Xtream Codes sources, whether you are tidying a single playlist or managing hundreds, and exports drop straight into TiviMate, IPTV Smarters, Kodi, VLC, and other popular players.

Why M3U Edit

Why developers and IPTV resellers choose M3U Edit

Your playlists never leave your browser

Unlike cloud services that store your IPTV credentials, M3U Edit processes everything locally. Your provider login, stream URLs, and channels stay private — only you see them.

Built to handle 50,000-channel playlists

Processing runs in your browser — no server queue, no upload wait. Load a large playlist, make your edits, and download the result without leaving the tab.

Desktop, tablet, phone — any device

No app to install and no account to make — the same tools run full-speed in a phone browser as on desktop. Upload from your phone, download to your TV box.

Core tools always free, no credit card

We charge for premium hosting and cloud sync — never for everyday editing. The Splitter, Cleaner and Sorter stay free, no credit card required.

How it works

Upload, edit, download — usually under a minute

Step 1

Upload your playlist

File, URL, or paste raw M3U content. Drag & drop supported. Works with files up to 100 MB and 50,000+ channels.

Step 2

Pick your tool

Choose from 18 focused tools — splitter, cleaner, validator, converter and more, each purpose-built.

Step 3

Download a clean result

Get your processed playlist instantly — no email, no signup, no watermark. Just clean M3U ready for TiviMate, Smarters, or any IPTV player.

FAQ

Answers before you ask

Is M3U Edit safe to use with my IPTV provider?
Yes. All processing happens in your browser. Your IPTV credentials, server URLs, and stream links never touch our servers unless you explicitly enable cloud hosting (opt-in only). We don't log or store any playlist content during free tool usage.
Is M3U Edit really free to use?
Yes — all core tools are 100% free, no signup required. Sign up free for cloud playlist hosting, save your work, and access premium tools.
Do I need to install anything?
No. Every tool runs directly in your browser. Nothing to download. Works on Windows, Mac, Linux, iOS, and Android.
Can I edit Xtream Codes API playlists?
Yes. Our Xtream tools convert Xtream Codes credentials (username/password/URL) to standard M3U format instantly. You can then run any of our tools on it — clean it, split it, validate streams, or merge with other playlists.
How do I remove dead channels from my M3U playlist?
Use our Stream Validator. It tests every URL in your playlist for HTTP status, redirects, and actual stream availability — directly in your browser. You'll get a clean playlist with only working channels, plus a report showing which ones were removed and why.
What's the difference between M3U and M3U8?
M3U is the original ASCII-encoded format. M3U8 is the UTF-8 version, which supports international characters and emojis in channel names. Most modern IPTV services use M3U8. Our tools handle both formats and convert between them anytime.
Is my playlist data safe and private?
Most tools process data 100% in your browser — your playlist never leaves your device. Cloud hosting (opt-in) is encrypted (AES-256) and only you control access.
Does M3U Edit support EPG (Electronic Program Guide)?
Yes — through our Auto EPG Matcher (coming soon) and EPG support in Stream Validator. You can map XMLTV EPG sources to your channels using tvg-id attributes. Your IPTV player will show the program guide as long as tvg-id matches your EPG provider's IDs.
How accurate is the Stream Validator?
It tests streams using real HLS.js manifest checks in your browser. Some streams block CORS — they show as "untested" but may still work in real IPTV players like TiviMate or Smarters. For playlist-wide duplicate, dead/slow summaries, and health reports, use Playlist Health Lab (not the same as per-stream checks).
Does it work on mobile?
Yes — every tool is fully mobile-responsive. Upload from your phone, edit on the go, and download to any device.
Are there any limits?
Free tools handle up to 50,000 channels. Cloud hosting starts at 5 playlists free. Premium plans for resellers, agencies, and high-volume users coming soon.
Can I edit M3U8 playlists too?
Yes. The toolkit accepts both .m3u and .m3u8 files. UTF-8 channel names and international characters are preserved when you export as M3U8.
Does this work as an IPTV playlist editor on phone or tablet?
Yes. The site is mobile-responsive — upload, edit, and download playlists from Android or iOS browsers without installing an app.
