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