Frequently asked questions
What metadata do phone videos contain?
Commonly the capture date and time, the phone make and model, the software version and, if location was on, GPS coordinates of where it was filmed.
Do social apps remove metadata anyway?
Many do on upload, but not all, and files shared by email, chat apps sent as documents, cloud links or websites usually keep it.
Is the video re-encoded?
No. The streams are copied exactly, so quality and size stay the same.
Will the video still play the right way up?
Yes. The rotation needed for playback is kept so the video displays correctly.
Is my video uploaded?
No. The metadata is removed on your device.
Can I check the result?
Open the downloaded file in Video Info to confirm the tags are gone.
