Video Metadata Remover for MP4 / MOV
Erase supported container tags, creation and modification times, track names, artwork, and private metadata blocks from an MP4 or MOV. Processing stays on your device and does not re-encode the audio or video.

What happens locally
A focused cleaner, not a black box.
Audio and video stay intact
Media offsets stay unchanged. The cleaner compares every media-data region using SHA-256 and reopens the output to check tracks and duration.
Private by default
Files are read in a browser worker using Mediabunny and a bounded container scanner. No video bytes are sent to a server or an AI model.
Important limit
This version supports ordinary self-contained MP4/MOV video and audio tracks. Encrypted, fragmented, external-media, unknown-structure, and extra-track files (including GPS/timed-metadata, subtitles, and timecode tracks) are rejected for cleaning. Encoded media, codec-level supplemental data, rotation, and color data are retained. This is not content redaction or a forensic guarantee.
Questions & boundaries
Know exactly what the clean copy means.
File formats are messy. These answers describe the supported behavior of this version—not a promise that every trace everywhere has disappeared.
01Can MP4 and MOV metadata be removed without quality loss?+
The cleaner does not decode or re-encode the media. It erases supported metadata areas while keeping the encoded video/audio bytes, track layout, rotation, and color data. It checks media hashes before offering a download.
02Does it remove GPS location?+
Location stored inside supported user-data or metadata containers is erased. A separate GPS or timed-metadata track is not handled in this version: the tool reports the extra track and disables cleaning rather than claiming it was removed.
03Why is the cleaned video the same size?+
Metadata is erased with zero-filled padding while atom sizes and media offsets stay unchanged. The old metadata bytes are overwritten, even though the total file size stays the same.
04How do I verify the downloaded file?+
Download the cleaned copy, open the Video Metadata Checker, and select that downloaded file for a separate read-only scan. For critical work, also inspect it using an external tool such as ExifTool or ffprobe.
05Does it convert MOV to MP4?+
No. The output keeps the detected source container, MP4 or MOV. This tool focuses on metadata removal and does not provide format conversion or video compression.
