AVI metadata remover · no upload
Remove AVI metadata locally in your browser
AVI files store RIFF INFO tags such as the encoding software, creation date and author. MetaRemove cleans those common fields before you share the file.
Processed locally
No upload required
MP4, MOV, AVI and MKV support
No re-encoding - quality preserved
How local video metadata removal works
MetaRemove keeps the workflow simple: inspect the file, remove common metadata fields and download a cleaned copy.
Clean metadata locally
MetaRemove removes common metadata fields stored in the video container.
Download the cleaned copy
Save a new file with reduced exposure of location, device and software identifiers.
Why clean AVI metadata?
AVI is an older but still common container, and tools that produce AVI files often stamp identifying information into the header.
RIFF INFO chunks can store software name, creation date, artist and copyright fields. Capture tools write them automatically.
Legacy AVI exports still circulate in ads, archives and client folders. Clean the header before sharing if those tags should not travel with the file.
Why clean AVI metadata?
AVI is an older but still common container, and tools that produce AVI files often stamp identifying information into the header.
Encoder stamps
Capture and conversion tools frequently write their name and version into the AVI header.
Dates and authorship
RIFF INFO tags can include creation dates, artist and copyright fields added by editors.
No upload workflow
MetaRemove reads and processes the AVI locally in your browser instead of uploading it to a server.
When to clean AVI metadata
Clean before private sharing, archives and client delivery.
Before emailing legacy footage
Older AVI files often keep encoder and author stamps.
Before archive publication
INFO tags can reveal tooling and authorship you did not intend to publish.
Before client handoff
Software fingerprints look unfinished in professional deliverables.
AVI fields MetaRemove checks
AVI metadata is usually stored in RIFF INFO list chunks inside the container.
| Field | Before | After |
|---|---|---|
| ISFT (Software) | Encoding or capture software | Removed when present |
| ICRD (Creation date) | Date the file was created | Removed when present |
| IART / ICOP | Artist and copyright fields | Removed when present |
| Other INFO tags | Comments, keywords, source | Removed when present |
| Video and audio streams | Actual media content | Preserved - no re-encoding |
Clean metadata by format
Each container stores metadata differently. Use the page that matches your file type for denser, more relevant guidance.
Frequently asked questions
Does MetaRemove upload my AVI file?
No. The AVI is read and processed locally in your browser, so the file does not need to be uploaded to a server.
Does removing AVI metadata reduce quality?
No. The video and audio streams are copied without re-encoding, so the quality stays identical to the original.
Can AVI files contain personal information?
They can. RIFF INFO tags may include software names, dates, author and copyright fields that reveal how and when the file was made.
Can I inspect the AVI metadata first?
Yes. Use the free video metadata checker to preview the INFO tags and header fields before cleaning.
