# 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 video** — The original metadata table populates as soon as the file loads.
2. **Process** — The encoder remuxes the file with empty tags; on most container types this is fast.
3. **Verify and download** — The 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.
