Why it matters
Videos from phones often store the exact location where they were filmed. Removing it before posting publicly protects your privacy.
Good to know
Global tags, stream tags, chapters and encoder strings are removed and streams are copied without re-encoding, so the cleaned file looks and sounds exactly the same.
Supported files
Any common audio or video file: MP4, MOV, MKV, WEBM, AVI and other video formats, and MP3, WAV, M4A, FLAC, OGG, OPUS, WMA and other audio formats. Files up to 1 GB each.
Frequently asked questions

Are my files safe?
