Video metadata, image quality and privacy
Metadata is not the video itself
Dates, device details, locations, titles, authors and software tags describe a file. Not every video contains GPS or camera information. Faces, addresses, subtitles and voices remain visible or audible after tag removal.
Quality and necessary technical information
Compatible streams are copied without re-encoding. Required playback information stays in the file. Review the verified output because unsupported tags can remain and remuxing can change container metadata.
Removing tags does not guarantee anonymity. Faces, text, surroundings and voices remain. Previously shared copies are unchanged, and unsupported metadata may persist.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is video metadata?
Information associated with a video file, such as dates, authors or device tags. It is different from the picture and sound, and available tags vary by file.
How can I remove metadata from an MP4 file?
Select an MP4, inspect the detected tags, choose supported tags to remove and review the verified output before downloading.
Can GPS information be removed?
Where identifiable, supported location tags may be removable. Some videos contain no GPS data, and removing tags cannot hide locations visible in the footage.
Will removal reduce video quality?
Compatible streams are copied without re-encoding. Remuxing can change container tags, so review the output and keep your original.
Does metadata removal make a video anonymous?
No. Faces, text, surroundings and voices can still identify people or places. Copies already shared are not changed.
Are videos uploaded to a server?
Files are read and processed locally in your browser, without uploading them to a server. Keep your original files.
Can I keep my original file?
Yes. Download creates a separate copy. The original file on your device is not overwritten.
What information cannot be removed?
Necessary playback information must remain. Unsupported or unrecognized tags may persist, and visible or audible personal information requires separate editing.
