Remove metadata

Disable global metadata mapping while copying compatible audio and video streams into a fast-start MP4. This does not guarantee removal of every stream field or private detail.

Runs entirely in your browser. Your file is never uploaded — no watermark, no account.

Best for
Reducing copied container metadata before ordinary sharing when the picture and audio streams should remain unchanged.
Input → output
MP4, MOV, or MKV streams are copied into a fast-start MP4 while global metadata mapping is disabled. No picture or sound re-encode is requested.
Quality tip
Use a compatible H.264/AAC source. For sensitive sharing, inspect container and stream fields with an independent metadata tool afterward.
Know before running
This does not guarantee forensic erasure of every stream field, chapter, attachment, side datum, platform record, visible watermark, or information contained in the pixels themselves.
Next step
Compress video if the verified sharing copy must also meet a smaller size limit.

How to use Remove metadata

  1. 1

    Choose your file. Drop a supported MP4, MOV, MKV file into the tool, or click to select one. It stays on your device — nothing is uploaded.

  2. 2

    Run locally. Press Run to begin. The first processing run loads the browser engine before local processing begins.

  3. 3

    Download. Review the result, then download the finished file from your browser with no watermark.

Frequently asked questions

Is Remove metadata free? Is there a watermark?
Yes — Remove metadata is free to use with no sign-up or watermark. Very large files can still be limited by your browser's available memory and processing resources.
Do my files get uploaded to a server?
No. Remove metadata runs entirely in your browser with WebAssembly, so your MP4, MOV, MKV file never leaves your device and nothing is stored or seen by us.
What can I put in, and what do I get out?
Remove metadata accepts MP4, MOV, MKV and gives you back a MP4 file. Actual codec support depends on what the bundled engine or browser decoder can read.
Does Remove metadata change my original file?
No. It never touches your original — Remove metadata creates a brand-new MP4 file to download and leaves the source on your device untouched.
