Remove Video Metadata

Remove hidden metadata from MP4, MOV, WebM, and MKV videos: including GPS location, device model, creation date, title, and encoder tags. The video is remuxed in your browser without re-encoding, so it stays lossless and is never uploaded.

Runs entirely in your browser. Nothing is uploaded.

Strip location & device data from videos

Videos carry the same hidden baggage as photos, and often more: the GPS coordinates where you filmed, your phone model, the creation date, and a trail of encoder and software tags. Video files are also far too large and too personal to be casually uploaded to an online cleaner. This tool runs a real video engine inside your browser and remuxes the file — copying the audio and video streams untouched while discarding the metadata — so quality is bit-for-bit identical and nothing is transmitted.

How to remove metadata from a video

  1. 1

    Choose a video

    Drop in an MP4, MOV, WebM, or MKV file. The in-browser video engine loads on this page only.

  2. 2

    Remux without re-encoding

    The streams are copied into a fresh container with the metadata map cleared, so no pixels are recompressed.

  3. 3

    Download the clean video

    Save the stripped file and share that copy instead of the original.

Good to know

  • Removes GPS and location tags, device make and model, creation and modification dates, title and comment fields, and encoder and software tags.
  • Because this is a stream copy rather than a re-encode, there is zero generational quality loss and processing is much faster than a full conversion.
  • Everything runs locally through WebAssembly, so large files never face an upload limit — but they do use your device's memory and CPU.
  • Visible content is untouched: a location shown on screen or a face in frame is still there, so review the picture as well as the metadata.

What people use it for

  • Posting a clip filmed at home without publishing the coordinates of your house
  • Sending footage to a client or editor without exposing your device and software chain
  • Clearing creation timestamps from a video before it goes into a public archive

Frequently asked questions

What metadata is removed from my video?+

Container-level metadata such as GPS location, device/camera model, creation and modification dates, title, comments, and encoder tags. These are the fields that can reveal where and on what a video was recorded.

Is my video uploaded to a server?+

No. The video is processed entirely in your browser using FFmpeg compiled to WebAssembly. Both your file and the engine run on your device. Nothing is uploaded.

Does this reduce video quality?+

No. The video is remuxed with stream copy (no re-encoding), so the picture and audio are bit-for-bit identical. Only the metadata is dropped.

Why is there a one-time download the first time?+

The first run downloads the ~32MB in-browser video engine. Your browser caches it, so subsequent videos process immediately.

What file formats and sizes are supported?+

MP4, MOV, WebM, MKV, and AVI. Because everything runs in your browser's memory, very large files (multiple GB) may not fit: shorter clips and common formats work best.
