How to Remove Metadata From a Video Online for Free

Video files carry hidden metadata just like photos do. The container can hold titles, device and software details, creation info, and other descriptive tags that you may not want to share when you post or send a clip. Cleaning that out should be simple, but most tools re-encode the entire video to do it, which is slow and quietly reduces quality, and many want you to upload the file and sign up first.

Upsampler's Free Video Metadata Remover strips the metadata losslessly, without re-encoding a single frame, entirely in your browser. There is no upload, no signup, and no limit. Your video never leaves your device, and the output is bit-identical to the original apart from the tags being gone.

How to Remove Metadata From a Video

1. Open the Free Video Metadata Remover in any modern browser.
2. Add your video by dragging it in or clicking to browse. It accepts MP4, MOV, WebM, and MKV.
3. Review the tags it found. Before running, the tool probes the file and lists the exact descriptive tags present, or tells you there are none.
4. Download the clean video. It is saved with a -clean suffix in the same container, and the tool reports the original size, the clean size, and confirms it used a lossless remux.

Why This Remover Is Different

Lossless remux, zero re-encoding

Instead of decoding and re-encoding your video, the tool remuxes it: the video and audio streams are copied across untouched while the descriptive container tags are dropped. The result is bit-identical to the original in quality, and because there is no encoding step, it is fast and needs no WebCodecs support.

It runs 100 percent in your browser

The whole process happens locally. Your video is never uploaded, which is essential for a privacy tool. Stripping metadata only matters if the original never reaches a server.

It shows you what it removes

Before cleaning, the tool lists the exact tag keys it found in the file, so you can see precisely what is being stripped rather than trusting a black box.

No signup, no watermark, no cap

Clean as many videos as you like. The output is untouched footage with the tags gone, and nothing is added.

See Before You Strip

To inspect a video's full technical and descriptive metadata before cleaning it, run it through the Free Video Metadata Viewer first. And for photos rather than videos, the Free Image Metadata Remover strips EXIF and GPS data with the same lossless approach.
