Hidden characters and AI tags are always removed. These are the extras, and they are already set the way most people need them.

Metadata cleaning

Content Credentials, C2PA records, XMP packets and generator tags come out of every video.
Nothing is re-encoded, so the file keeps its exact size and the picture is untouched.

Opt in

Erase a logo

This one rebuilds the video, so it is slow, works the processor hard, and costs a little picture quality. Off unless you tick it.
A moving logo cannot be caught this way. Sora's mark drifts around the screen, and Google Veo's SynthID lives in every frame. Neither is something this tool can remove. The About tab explains why.
Audio

Drop your audio in

MP3, FLAC, WAV, OGG, Opus and M4A.

What goes

Tags come out, sound stays

Nothing is re-encoded, so the audio is bit for bit what it was. Only the tag blocks are cleared, using each format's own padding.

  • MP3: ID3 frames blanked, trailing ID3v1 and APE tags removed
  • FLAC: comment, picture and application blocks turned into padding
  • WAV: LIST, INFO, broadcast and ID3 chunks replaced with JUNK
  • OGG / Opus: comment header blanked and the page checksum repaired
  • M4A: handled by the video engine, same underlying boxes
A watermark carried in the sound itself is not detected or removed. Only tags are cleaned.
Read only

See everything inside a file

Drop in a photo, video, song, PDF or document, and read every piece of information it carries. Camera and lens, the date it was taken, where it was taken, who is named as the author, editing history, track titles, the lot.

Nothing is changed here. This tab only looks. Your file is read, shown to you, and thrown away. To actually remove any of this, use the tab for that file type.

Paste

Clean text directly

Paste anything in. Invisible characters, hidden tag blocks and zero-width carriers are found and taken out.

Batch

Process a whole folder

Reads files straight from disk, so the upload limits do not apply. Your originals are never modified. Cleaned copies go to the output folder.
