About Us
M3U Studio is built on a simple philosophy: creating software that prioritizes speed, clean design, and user control. We believe web utilities should be lightweight, fast, and respectful of your data privacy.
User Focused
We design our tools with usability in mind. We want to provide a modern, straightforward alternative for managing media lists without the bulk of outdated legacy software.
Modern Design
Local browser processing keeps routine file parsing, editing, and export on the device. Actual capacity and responsiveness depend on the playlist size, browser, and available memory.
Our Mission
M3U Studio is an independent AtomicStack Studio project focused on practical file-management utilities. It does not provide IPTV subscriptions, channels, playlists, or media streams. Website analytics and advertising are separate from playlist processing and are disclosed in the Privacy Policy.
What the application does
M3U Studio reads user-provided M3U and M3U8 text files and presents their channel names, URLs, and common metadata in an editable interface. The current tools can remove exact or selected duplicate keys, rename or regroup selected entries, compare two files, produce a statistical report, and convert supported fields to JSON, CSV, XML, or plain text.
What it does not provide
M3U Studio is not an IPTV provider, player, subscription service, channel directory, or playlist host. It does not sell or supply streams. Users must provide their own files and must be authorized to use every media URL they process.
Playlist privacy and website data
Files chosen from a device are parsed in browser memory rather than uploaded to an M3U Studio application server. URL imports and stream checks make direct browser requests to the addresses a user supplies. The website separately uses Google Analytics and includes Google AdSense code; those services and hosting logs are described in the Privacy Policy.
How the guides are maintained
We check tool descriptions against the current parser and export behavior. On September 2, 2026, we revised the guide pages to explain specific workflows and limits. On September 27, 2026, we added a fictional two-entry example and stopped listing untranslated copies of the English guides as translated articles. The contact page accepts corrections and reproducible bug reports.
