Remove Metadata From MP4 & MOV Videos — Free, In-Browser

Strip GPS, recording device info, encoder fingerprints, and creation timestamps from MP4 and MOV videos.

Why scrub video metadata?

Phones, drones, and pro cameras embed GPS, device serials, software versions, and even microphone settings into MP4/MOV containers. Posting raw video can leak the exact filming location, the camera owner, and the editing history. We rewrite the moov atom to remove identifying tags without re-encoding.

Common use cases

• TikTok and Reels uploads
• YouTube creator videos
• Drone footage of your property
• Evidence shared with journalists

Frequently asked questions

Will scrubbing re-encode my video?

No. We only edit the moov metadata atom — the video and audio tracks are byte-identical, so there's zero quality loss.

Does it work on drone footage?

Yes. DJI, Autel, and Skydio MP4s store GPS as private metadata atoms which we detect and remove.

What about MOV files from iPhone?

QuickTime MOV containers carry the same iPhone GPS/device metadata as HEIC — we strip all of it.

Are my videos uploaded?

Never. MP4 metadata edits run entirely in your browser using a custom MP4 atom parser.
