Remove Hidden Metadata from Videos
Videos can carry hidden technical fields you never meant to share. This tool removes location data, device details, and timestamps from supported video formats.
If you send clips to clients, publish on social media, or share sensitive footage, metadata cleaning gives you a safer default. You keep the same visible video, but with less hidden baggage.

Metadata removed from videos
Common metadata fields can identify where, when, and how a video was captured. The scrubber removes those hidden fields without touching the pixels or audio track.
Location + time
- GPS coordinates and location tags
- Create and modify timestamps
- Timezone and capture context
Device + software
- Device model and operating system
- Editing software and exporters
- Embedded comments or tags
Metadata support differs by format and toolchain, but if the field exists in the file header, it can be removed during scrubbing.
How to clean a video file
- Upload a video file (MP4, MOV, or another supported format).
- Run the metadata scrubber.
- Download the cleaned file.
- Use the cleaned copy for sharing, posting, or delivery.
- Repeat this step after each major export in your editing workflow.
Limits and edge cases
Visible overlays stay visible
Scrubbing cannot remove captions, watermarks, or location stickers that are part of the actual image frames.
Re-export can add metadata again
Editing tools may write fresh metadata on export. Run a final scrub after your last render and before distribution.
Privacy guarantee
Processing runs on-device in your browser. Your videos never leave your machine, which is helpful for sensitive footage and client work.
Frequently asked questions
What video metadata is removed?
The scrubber removes hidden fields such as location tags, timestamps, device details, and software metadata when present in supported formats.
Does this re-encode my video?
No. Metadata scrubbing is designed to remove metadata fields only, so your visible video quality stays the same.
Should I clean videos before social upload?
Yes. Cleaning first gives you control before posting to any platform and helps reduce accidental location or device leaks.
Do you store my files?
No. Files are processed on your device and are never uploaded.
