Free Video Metadata Remover

What Metadata Is Hidden In Your Videos?

Digital video containers (MP4, MOV, MKV, WebM) contain structural metadata atoms (like moov.udta) that store extensive device and recording telemetry:

GPS Location Coordinates

ISO 6709 geolocation strings and continuous location tracks recorded by smartphone sensors.

Recording Device Make & Model

Device identifiers, smartphone firmware builds, and camera hardware serial numbers.

Creation & Modification Timestamps

Exact date, local time, and UTC creation offsets indicating when the clip was recorded.

Encoder Software & Version

Signatures from video editors (Premiere Pro, DaVinci Resolve, Final Cut) and compression libraries.

Camera Settings & Lens Info

Frame rate details, color profiles, audio bitrate tracks, and camera lens profiles.

Embedded Thumbnail Images

Cover art and preview poster frames that might still show cut or trimmed introductory scenes.

Zero Quality Loss Guaranteed

Unlike video converters that re-encode your video and reduce quality, our tool removes only the metadata containers. Your video and audio streams are completely untouched. The output is frame-for-frame identical to your original recording.

Why Is Video Metadata Dangerous?

📱 Smartphone Video Leaks

Videos shot at home record continuous GPS telemetry tracks embedded right inside the MP4 atom structure.

🎥 Content Creators & Influencers

Sanitize raw B-roll and vlogs before uploading so unlisted filming locations and timestamps aren't discovered.

🚁 Drone & Action Cameras

Strip flight coordinates, pilot device IDs, and telemetry data before posting high-definition footage online.

Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about video metadata stripping.

Will removing metadata re-encode my video?

No. The video and audio streams are never touched or recompressed. Only metadata containers (such as the QuickTime moov atom and udta tags) are removed. There is zero quality loss.

Can I process large video files?

Yes. There is no file size limit. Large files are processed efficiently inside your browser memory using Web Workers and chunked byte processing.

Do MP4 files store my GPS location?

Yes. If you recorded the video on a smartphone (iPhone or Android) with location services active, exact GPS telemetry and location tracks are embedded inside the MP4/MOV container.

How long does video processing take?

Most videos process in just a few seconds. Because no re-encoding is performed, processing speed is essentially limited only by your computer's local memory and disk speed.
