What hidden data do downloaded videos carry?

Videos downloaded from platforms are rarely "clean". They typically carry several layers of identifying information: platform SEI codes — small data packets embedded directly in the video stream that record which platform the file came from; container metadata — title, author, creation tool and encoder strings stored in the file header; and chapter markers or custom data boxes the platform injected. Re-uploading such a file elsewhere lets the new platform read exactly where it came from.

How this tool cleans your video (3 steps)

  1. Select your video. Click the box or drag it in. It is read directly by your browser — nothing uploads.
  2. Choose an editor preset and clean. One click strips platform SEI codes (H.264 and HEVC), wipes container metadata and chapters, and re-stamps the file as an export from Premiere Pro, DaVinci Resolve, or CapCut — including the encoder identification string.
  3. Download. The file is stream-copied, so processing takes seconds and quality is 100% identical — not a single pixel is re-encoded.

Why no re-encoding matters

Most "cleaning" advice tells you to re-encode the video, which degrades quality and takes minutes. This tool only rewrites the container: the video and audio streams are copied bit-for-bit (stream copy), while the metadata layer is rebuilt from scratch. The result is mathematically identical video with a clean identity — done in seconds, even for large files.

Private by design: nothing is uploaded

This tool runs FFmpeg, the industry-standard video engine, compiled to WebAssembly and executed entirely inside your browser tab. Your video never travels over the network. The metadata surgery (including the encoder-string patch) also happens locally in your browser's memory.

An honest note on "originality"

Cleaning metadata defeats metadata-level and file-hash identification: the file hash changes, platform codes are gone, and the encoder string reads as your chosen editor. It does not defeat content-based fingerprinting — if a platform recognizes the actual pictures and sounds, no metadata trick will hide that. Use this tool for what it is: a fast, lossless metadata cleaner, not an invisibility cloak.

Frequently asked questions

Is this video metadata remover really free?

Yes — unlimited cleanings, no account, no watermark. Everything runs on your device.

Are my videos uploaded anywhere?

No. The entire process — stream copy plus metadata surgery — happens locally via FFmpeg in WebAssembly inside your browser. The video never leaves your device.

Will cleaning reduce video quality?

Not by a single pixel. Video and audio streams are copied bit-for-bit without re-encoding; only the metadata container is rebuilt.

Which editor presets are available?

Adobe Premiere Pro 2024, DaVinci Resolve 19, and CapCut. Each preset sets matching export comments and encoder identification strings.

Does it work on HEVC / H.265 videos?

Yes. Platform SEI codes are stripped for both H.264 and HEVC streams.

How fast is it?

Seconds, even for large files — there is no re-encoding, just a container rewrite plus a small binary patch.

Will platforms treat the result as original?

Metadata-level checks (file hash, platform codes, encoder strings) will see a clean editor export. Content-based fingerprinting that recognizes the actual footage is a different layer this tool does not address.
