100% local — your file never leaves this device

Videos from phones and cameras embed metadata in the container: creation and modification timestamps, GPS coordinates (the ©xyz atom on iPhone footage), device identifiers and encoder strings. This video metadata viewer parses the MP4/MOV box structure directly in your browser and surfaces what’s really stored inside.

Because video files are large, local parsing matters twice: a 2 GB clip would take forever to upload to a server-side checker — here it’s read in place with no upload at all. Duration, dimensions, container brand, creation dates and any user-data atoms show up in a second or two.

Need to share footage without the when-and-where? The video metadata remover wipes the metadata atoms while leaving the streams untouched — the video plays exactly as before.

Frequently asked questions

How do I view the metadata of a video?

Drop an MP4, M4V or MOV file into the tool. It parses the container boxes locally and shows creation dates, dimensions, duration, GPS atoms and user-data blocks.

Do videos contain GPS location?

Often yes — iPhone and many Android videos store the recording location in a ©xyz atom inside the file. The viewer shows it if present.

Does this upload my video?

No. Even multi-gigabyte files are parsed in place in your browser. Nothing is transmitted.
