Read, write, or remove metadata from your video files
Drop video files to get started
MP4 · MOV · MKV · AVI · WebM · WMV — up to 500 MB each
Every video file carries hidden information written into its container: title, author, year, genre, copyright and comments. This video metadata editor lets you inspect these tags, fill them in with your own details, or wipe them entirely — directly inside the file, with no re-encoding of the picture or sound.
See every tag already stored in the file without changing anything.
Add or replace title, author, copyright, description and more.
Strip every tag at once before sharing a file.
MP4, MOV, MKV, AVI, WMV, FLV, WebM, M4V, 3GP, MTS, M2TS.
Process several videos in one pass, downloaded as a ZIP.
Only the container is rewritten — zero loss of video or audio quality.
A video file is not just a stream of pictures and sound: its container (MP4, MOV, MKV…) also reserves small text blocks called "atoms" or "tags", read by media players, sharing platforms and file managers. Unlike a photo's EXIF data, video tags almost never carry GPS coordinates — they mostly document the content and its origin.
The displayed name and a content summary, read by most players.
The creator or director, used for attribution.
The rights notice embedded inside the file itself.
Used by media libraries to sort and categorise your files.
Tip: for photo metadata (EXIF, GPS, IPTC), use the EXIF Viewer instead — the two work differently.
Every field in the form maps to a tag actually written into the video container, read by media players and import platforms.
| Field | Purpose | Importance |
|---|---|---|
| Title | Name shown in players and file managers | Essential |
| Author / creator | Attribution — shown by most players | Essential |
| Year | Helps media libraries sort and display files | Recommended |
| Genre | Content category, useful for filtering a library | Recommended |
| Copyright | Embedded rights notice, establishes ownership | Recommended |
| Description | Long-form summary, shown when importing to a platform | Optional |
| Comment | Free-form notes visible in the file's properties | Optional |
Fields you leave empty are not written, so values already in the file are preserved.
Drag in one or several MP4, MOV, MKV or other supported video files.
Review the tags already present in the uploaded file.
Fill in title, author, copyright… or choose to remove everything.
Tags are written or wiped without touching the picture or sound.
Grab the file individually or the whole batch as a ZIP.
No re-encoding
Only the container — the wrapper around the file — is modified. Video and audio streams are never recompressed, so processing is near-instant even for large files.
Depending on what you need, pick the matching tab: each acts on metadata only, never on the video content itself.
Shows every existing tag without changing anything — useful to check what a received file already contains.
Adds or replaces the fields you fill in. Empty fields keep their original value.
Wipes every tag in a single operation, no need to clear them one by one.
YouTube, Vimeo and editing tools read title and description on import.
Your name stays attached to the file even after sharing or downloading.
An embedded copyright notice states who owns the content.
Apply the same information across a whole folder of footage or deliverables.
Wipe author, comments or internal notes before sending a file to a client.
Complete metadata keeps a file identifiable years later.
Eleven video containers support full metadata reading, writing and removal.
Before
final_clip_v3.mp4 — no title, no author, no rights notice.
After
Title, Author, Year, Copyright and Description filled in — readable by any player or import platform.
Re-run the resulting file through Read mode to confirm every field was written.
The read/write engine is ExifTool by Phil Harvey, the reference for parsing media containers. Tags are written to the locations each format expects, so they're read correctly by video players, editing software and sharing platforms.
No. Only the container — the wrapper around the video and audio streams — is rewritten. The picture and sound are never recompressed or re-encoded.
Yes. Upload multiple files, fill in the fields once, and download the result as a ZIP.
It depends on the platform and the field. Some read the title or description on import to pre-fill a form, others ignore the container's tags entirely.
Remove mode clears every tag. To drop only one field while keeping the rest, use Write mode instead — note that leaving a field empty has no effect, so write a space or a neutral value into it.
Rarely. Unlike photos, most consumer video containers (MP4, MOV) don't store GPS coordinates by default, even when filmed on a location-enabled smartphone.
The limit depends on your plan and is shown directly on the upload area. Larger files require a higher-tier plan.
Title, author and copyright written directly into the container — no re-encoding.
