Private video metadata remover

Remove metadata from MP4 and MOV videos

Inspect and clean recognised video metadata in your browser. The tool preserves file length and media payload bytes, then rechecks the output before download.

How to Remove Metadata from MP4 and MOV Without Re-EncodingRemove recognised location, descriptive, XMP, and timestamp metadata from MP4 or MOV files locally while keeping the media payload byte-for-byte unchanged.

What the cleaner verifies

Metadata removal without video re-encoding

The cleaner changes recognised metadata storage in place and leaves media box positions stable.

Location and descriptive metadata

Removes recognised QuickTime metadata and user-data fields such as coordinates, titles, comments, authors, and software labels.

Container timestamps

Clears creation and modification times in recognised movie, track, and media headers.

Byte-for-byte media check

Confirms that every mdat media-data box remains at the same offset with identical bytes after cleaning.

Clear privacy boundary

What this tool does not remove

Video can reveal information through visible and audible content as well as metadata.

  • Faces, licence plates, screens, documents, reflections, or visible location clues
  • Speech, background audio, subtitles, captions, or timed metadata tracks
  • Unknown vendor boxes, DRM, signatures, edit history outside recognised metadata, or cloud copies

Before you share

MP4 and MOV metadata questions

The tool is deliberately conservative when a movie structure is unclear.

Does cleaning reduce video quality?

No. The tool does not decode or re-encode video or audio. It verifies that media-data boxes remain byte-for-byte identical.

Does it remove GPS coordinates from iPhone MOV files?

It removes recognised QuickTime metadata and user-data location fields, including ISO 6709 location values stored in supported metadata boxes. Review visible location clues separately.

Why might a video be rejected?

Malformed, incomplete, non-movie, or unsupported box layouts are rejected instead of producing a possibly broken video. The original is never changed.
