Does removing metadata re-encode the video?

No, metadata is stripped without re-encoding, so video and audio quality are completely unaffected.

What metadata specifically gets removed?

Creation date, GPS location (if the video was recorded on a phone with location enabled), and device/model information.

Why would a video have GPS location embedded?

Many smartphones tag recorded video with the location it was captured, similar to photo geotagging — worth removing before sharing footage publicly if you don't want your location exposed.

Does Remove Video Metadata upload my files to a server?

No. Remove Video Metadata runs entirely in your browser using on-device processing, your files never leave your device.

About this tool

Video files often carry embedded metadata beyond what's visible on screen — creation date, GPS location if recorded on a phone, device model — details you may not want attached to a video before sharing it publicly. This tool strips creation date, location and device metadata from a video without re-encoding it, removing identifying details while leaving the actual video and audio quality completely untouched.
