Video Metadata Stripper

Remove identifying tags (title, artist, location, creation date, camera info) from a video before sharing. Diff view shows exactly what was removed; the After panel re-reads the stripped output so you can verify it's clean.

What it does

Drop a video, hit Process, get a copy with all writable metadata stripped. The container is preserved where possible so the file plays identically — only the human-readable tags are gone.

Before/after panels render side-by-side so you can see exactly which fields disappeared. Run the result through the Metadata Viewer to double-check; the After panel is itself a Viewer call on the stripped blob.

How to use it

  1. Drop the videoThe original metadata table populates as soon as the file loads.
  2. ProcessThe encoder remuxes the file with empty tags; on most container types this is fast.
  3. Verify and downloadThe After panel re-reads the stripped output. Confirm the tag fields are empty, then click Download.

When to use it

Phone footage with embedded location

iPhone and Android videos can include GPS — strip before posting publicly.

Pre-publishing checklist

Remove draft titles, photographer names, or internal markings before sending a final edit to clients or releasing publicly.

Mass anonymization

Strip every metadata field from a batch in one pass instead of editing each file manually in a desktop tool.

FAQ

Does it strip the visual watermark?
No — only metadata in the container header. Anything baked into the pixels stays. For visible removal you'd need an editing tool.
Will the strip affect playback?
No. Codec, framerate, resolution and audio all carry through. The output is byte-equivalent to the original minus the metadata atoms.
