Remove ID3 Metadata From MP3 Files — Free, In-Browser

Strip ID3v1/v2 tags, embedded artwork, encoder fingerprints, and personal tags from MP3 audio files.

Why scrub MP3 metadata?

MP3s carry ID3v1 and ID3v2 tags with artist, album, year, ripper username, encoder version, and embedded album art. For voice memos, podcast exports, and personal recordings, ID3 tags can leak the device, software, and even the iTunes user. SafeRestore removes all ID3 frames cleanly.

Common use cases

Frequently asked questions

Will the audio be re-encoded?

No. Only the ID3 tag region is removed; MP3 frames are byte-identical so there's zero re-encoding loss.

Does it remove embedded album art?

Yes — embedded JPG/PNG album art (which often carries its own EXIF) is stripped along with all ID3 frames.

What about voice memos from iPhone?

Apple's Voice Memos app exports MP3/M4A with the device name and timestamp — both are removed by SafeRestore.

Are my audio files uploaded?

No. ID3 parsing and stripping runs entirely in your browser.
