Strip metadata from many videos in one batch

Overview

Select up to 50 MP4 or MOV videos from your device or My files and choose what to remove. By default every hidden field goes: location, altitude, camera and phone model, recording date, software. Switch on Only location and the coordinates are removed while the rest is kept, which is the right setting when you want to keep the dates for your own archive but not tell the world where you were. Tap Strip and the batch runs through the whole set.

Nothing is re-encoded. Each file's metadata is rewritten while its video and audio streams are left byte-for-byte as they were, so there is no quality loss and even a large batch is quick. Progress is shown as the batch runs and you can cancel at any time; the job continues in the background and a notification tells you when all the cleaned videos are in My files. Your original files are not changed.

Strip metadata is for the moment you prepare a set of videos to leave your phone: a folder of clips for a client, a holiday's worth of footage for a shared album, listings, evidence, a child's school videos for a parents' group. To inspect a single file in detail before deciding, Privacy clean shows every field it holds. Everything runs on your device with nothing uploaded.
