## How to use Remove Metadata from Video & Audio

1. Choose your MP4, MOV, M4V, WEBM, MKV, AVI, 3GP, MP3, M4A, WAV, FLAC, OGG, OPUS or AIFF file: drop it on the page or click to browse. You can add several at once.

## Private by design

Filevale never uploads anything: the work happens inside the browser, so it is fast and safe for confidential files.

## About the formats

- **MP4**: MP4 (H.264 video with AAC audio) plays on virtually every phone, browser, TV and video editor.
- **MOV**: MOV is Apple's QuickTime format, used by iPhone and Mac cameras. Many Windows apps and websites prefer MP4.
- **M4V**: M4V is Apple's variant of MP4 used by iTunes and the Apple TV app.
- **WEBM**: WebM is an open web video format (VP8/VP9). It plays well in browsers but less so on phones, TVs and editors.

## FAQ

**Do iPhone videos contain my location?**
Usually, yes. iPhone and Android videos store the GPS position where they were filmed, the phone model and the date. This tool deletes them and keeps the video exactly as it was.

**Is the video re-encoded?**
No. Video and audio streams are copied as they are, so quality and size stay the same and even long videos are done quickly. Portrait videos keep their rotation.

**What about MP3 tags and cover art?**
ID3 tags (title, artist, album, comments), the embedded cover picture and chapters are removed from MP3, M4A, FLAC and other audio files.

**Is Remove Metadata from Video & Audio free?**
Yes. It is free to use right now, with no daily limits or watermarks, and batch processing and ZIP downloads are included. No account or sign-up is needed, downloads included. Filevale is supported by optional donations.

**Are my files uploaded to a server?**
No. Remove Metadata from Video & Audio runs entirely in your browser using code that rewrites the file's metadata blocks in your browser (FFmpeg in WebAssembly for video and audio, PDF-lib for PDFs). Your files never leave your device, so it is safe for private and confidential content.

**Does removing metadata change the photo or video?**
No. JPG, PNG and WebP photos keep every pixel (only the metadata blocks are rewritten), and videos and audio are copied without re-encoding, so quality is identical. A rotated photo keeps its orientation so it still shows the right way up. HEIC photos are saved as high-quality JPG.

**Which metadata is removed?**
Photos: EXIF (GPS location, camera and lens, serial number, date taken, software), XMP, IPTC and comments. Videos and audio: GPS location, device, dates, title, artist, comments, chapters and cover art. PDFs: author, title, creator app, dates and XMP. Word, Excel and PowerPoint: author, last editor, company, manager, dates and custom properties.

**Does it work on iPhone and Android?**
Yes. It works in any modern browser (Safari, Chrome, Edge, Firefox) on iPhone, iPad, Android, Mac, Windows and Chromebook. There is nothing to install.
