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 MP4 metadata?

MP4 is widely used by phones, cameras and editors, which means exported files often carry hidden technical fields.

Phone exports

MP4 videos from phones may include date, model and location-related metadata.

Editor traces

Exported files can include software, encoder and handler information.

No upload workflow

MetaRemove processes the MP4 locally in the browser.

MP4 fields MetaRemove checks

MP4 metadata is usually stored inside container atoms and related metadata boxes.

Field Before After
moov/udta/meta Metadata container Cleaned when present
©too / encoder Software or encoder Removed when present
mvhd creation_time Container timestamp Cleared when present
hdlr name Handler name Cleared when present
