Video Metadata Remover: MP4 and MOV Privacy Guide
Videos are easy to share, but they can contain hidden metadata from cameras, phones, editing apps, and export tools. Cleaning video metadata reduces what a file reveals beyond the visible clip.
What video metadata can include
MP4 and MOV files may store creation dates, device information, software, title, artist, description, copyright, and location fields.
Editing apps can add export settings and application tags that are not obvious in playback.
How to remove video metadata
Inspect the video metadata, remove supported descriptive and identifying fields, then download a cleaned copy.
For high-risk files, keep the original private and verify the cleaned video before sending it.
Publishing workflow tips
Clean metadata before uploading videos to public pages, press kits, marketplaces, or client folders.
If you need title or copyright fields, add only the public-facing fields after removing private device and location data.
Clean metadata before sharing
Use Metadata Online to inspect hidden file data, remove EXIF, GPS, video, PDF, and document metadata, then download a clean copy.
Tools for safer video publishing
Clean metadata first, then compress or scan files depending on where the video will be shared.
