Audio Metadata Stripper

Remove identifying tags from an audio file before sharing. Diff view shows what was removed; the After panel re-reads the stripped output to confirm it's clean.

What it does

Drop an audio file, hit Process, get a copy with all writable metadata stripped. Embedded artwork, title, artist, album, comments, custom tags — all gone. The audio itself isn't touched.

Before/after diff appears side-by-side so you can verify the strip. The After panel runs the Metadata Viewer on the stripped output — so what you see is what you'd get if someone else loaded the file.

How to use it

  1. Drop the fileMP3, M4A, FLAC, Ogg — all supported.
  2. Process and verifyLook at the After column. Empty rows = the strip succeeded.

When to use it

Sharing without identifying info

Voice memo with your full name in the title? Strip before sending to a colleague.

Anonymous research dataset

Pre-anonymizing audio samples before publishing a dataset.

Privacy hygiene

Strip everything before posting a track publicly so it can't be traced back to your DAW project.
