Metadata Stripper
Removes privacy-relevant metadata locally using conservative ExifTool rules and lossless FFmpeg remux.
Overview
A companion to Metadata Inspector that strips privacy-relevant removable metadata from supported image, video, and audio files on your PC. Processing avoids re-encoding where possible and uses explicit tag removal rather than blind wipe-all operations.
Key features
- Conservative ExifTool stripping, no blind tag removal
- FFmpeg lossless stream-copy remux for video and audio
- Batch processing with per-file status
- Stream validation with ffprobe when available
- Hybrid MP4/MOV source-to-output verification
- Companion workflow to Metadata Inspector
Technical details
Images use ExifTool. Most audio and many video containers prefer FFmpeg stream-copy remux. Hybrid MP4/MOV flows validate original source to final output when ffprobe is available. Default output writes a new file beside the source.
