Frequently Asked Questions

What metadata does a video file contain?

Common video metadata includes: GPS location where the video was recorded, device make and model, recording date and time, software used to encode or edit the file, title, author, copyright, and comment fields. Phone footage in particular often embeds GPS coordinates and device information automatically.

Will stripping metadata affect playback?

No. Metadata has no effect on video or audio playback. The output file will play identically to the original.

Does this re-encode the video?

No. The video and audio tracks are copied directly without re-encoding. Only the metadata container is cleared. This means the process is fast and there is no quality loss.

Is there a file size limit?

The tool enforces a 500MB limit.

Which browsers are supported?

Chrome 94+ and Edge 94+ are fully supported. Chrome is recommended for best performance.
