IPTV M3U Editor.
Your channels, your way.

You can import an extended M3U or M3U8 channel playlist, browse its groups, search for channels and choose which entries to keep. The editor also lets you rename individual channels, move them to another group, rename an entire group and choose the channel order.

Your changes are applied to a newly downloaded M3U file. The tool does not alter the source file, activate a subscription or add channels you do not already have. It is one of our free IPTV tools for preparing your streaming setup.

Only files with an M3U or M3U8 extension are accepted. They must contain valid UTF-8 text and an extended playlist header. The editor checks file type, suspicious filenames, binary or script content, overall size and unusually long lines before using the playlist.

The limit is 25 MB and 100,000 channel entries. Archives and executable files are not supported, even if renamed. HLS video segment or quality-variant playlists are also a different format; a normal channel entry can still point to an M3U8 stream URL. If import fails, use a fresh channel-list export from your provider.

File imports are read and processed in your browser. This editor does not upload those files to WordPress or save them to our server. Imported channel names and groups are rendered as text; the tool does not play stream links or load channel-logo URLs from your playlist.

A URL import is different: your browser requests the playlist directly from its provider, which can see your IP address and request URL. Playlists can include account details, so keep downloaded copies private. Close or reset the tab when finished, and do not share a playlist containing your credentials.

The provider must allow a cross-origin browser request. Some services block it, require cookies, redirect the download or only offer an HTTP link. The editor accepts direct HTTPS links, omits cookies and blocks redirects, embedded HTTP login credentials, private IP URLs and common local host names.

If the URL fails, download the playlist through your provider’s normal process and use Upload file. There is no server proxy in this tool. A blocked import does not necessarily mean that your subscription or stream URLs are invalid.

All imported channels are included initially. A group checkbox includes or excludes the channels in that group, and clicking its name displays the group. Channel search narrows the visible matches; Include matches and Exclude matches apply to every matching entry, including results on other pages.

The download includes every checked channel across all groups, not just the entries currently visible. Sorting sets the exported order. Watch the included count before downloading, and use Undo last change if you accidentally exclude a group or change a name.

For supported channel playlists, existing stream links, EPG identifiers, logo attributes and per-entry options are retained. The editable fields are channel name and group, plus inclusion and ordering. Unsafe or unsupported stream schemes are excluded, and incomplete entries are reported rather than silently treated as valid channels.

An edited channel name does not automatically change its EPG ID or repair missing programme data. Keep a backup and test the exported list in your player. Our IPTV app guides can help you check device and player compatibility.

Download your selected channels, then import the new M3U file into a player that supports local playlists. Some apps accept only an M3U URL or Xtream Codes login, so check the app’s supported import methods. If the original provider changes channels later, re-import its updated list and create a fresh edited copy.

Removing unwanted channels can make your list easier to browse, but it does not increase your internet speed or guarantee smoother streams. Use the IPTV Speed Calculator to check bandwidth, or the cost savings calculator to review your TV budget.
