What metadata removed
These MP4/MOV atoms are cleared in place — the video and audio streams are never touched.
| Atom | What it stores | What it reveals |
|---|---|---|
udta | User data: device make and model, software version, and often embedded location | What phone you own and which OS build it runs — enough to narrow down "who filmed this" in a small group |
©xyz | GPS coordinates of the recording, written inside udta | Where you filmed, down to a few meters. For anything shot at home, that's your street address |
meta | Structured metadata: keys, values, sometimes app-specific location and identifiers | A second copy of much of the above — stripping udta alone isn't enough |
vendor uuid | Manufacturer-specific blobs (camera vendors, editing apps) | Which hardware and software touched the file, in formats most strippers never look at |
mvhd / tkhd / mdhd timestamps | Creation and modification times for the movie, each track, and each media stream | Exactly when you filmed — which can contradict whatever you told someone about when the footage was taken |
Why remove AI metadata?
- Listing videos. A car or apartment walkthrough filmed at home carries your address.
- Sharing via email or drive links. Direct file transfers keep every atom intact.
- Dashcam or incident footage. Recording time and device details go to third parties.
- Posting raw clips. Some platforms re-encode, some don't — why gamble.
- Videos of your kids. Location plus timestamps is a pattern you don't want out there.

Frequently asked questions
- Is the video uploaded for processing?
- No — even multi-hundred-MB files are processed in your browser's memory, locally.
- Will quality or file size change?
- Neither. Metadata boxes are overwritten in place, so the file stays byte-identical in size and the streams untouched — no re-encoding.
- Which formats and limits?
- MP4 and MOV (including iPhone recordings) — up to 20 files, 512 MB each.
- Does YouTube/TikTok keep my video's metadata?
- Big platforms re-encode uploads, which drops most of it. Files sent by email, Telegram "as file", or cloud links keep everything.
- Can it break playback?
- No. Cleared atoms are replaced with standard placeholders players skip, and the file's internal offsets are never moved.
