Video Metadata Remover
Protect your personal privacy and sensitive location data by purging all hidden metadata from your videos. Smartphone and camera videos automatically embed confidential EXIF, QuickTime, and MP4 atoms — including exact GPS coordinates, altitude, camera serial numbers, device model, operating system, and creation timestamps. Our Video Metadata Remover reads the binary atom stream and scrubs all tracking tags client-side within sandboxed browser memory. The video and audio streams are preserved bit-for-bit with zero re-encoding, so there is no quality loss, no compression artifacts, and processing completes in seconds regardless of file size. An interactive inspector reveals every tag detected — location coordinates, device manufacturer, editing software, and author fields — before and after sanitization so you can verify complete erasure before sharing on social media, video platforms, or messaging apps.

Questions People Ask
Honest answers about how this works.
Does stripping metadata reduce video or audio quality?
No. Unlike video transcoders that decompress and re-compress video frames (causing quality degradation and generation loss), this tool performs binary container surgery. It leaves the video and audio bitstreams completely untouched while only scrubbing the metadata atoms.
Is my video uploaded to any server?
No. All parsing, metadata extraction, and binary scrubbing are performed 100% client-side inside your browser's sandboxed memory. Your video never leaves your computer or phone.
What video formats are supported?
The tool supports MP4, MOV (Apple QuickTime), M4V, 3GP, WebM, and Matroska (MKV) video containers.
What metadata is removed?
All GPS coordinates, location names, camera make and model, operating system versions, creation and modification timestamps, author and artist names, comments, copyright notices, and Adobe XMP edit history.
