How It Works
Processing location depends on the selected tool and mode. Browser-based tools process files locally; advanced image processing may send the selected file to the ZeroMeta processing endpoint. Files are not intended to be stored permanently.
Select Video Files
Upload MP4, MOV, WebM, or MKV video recordings from cameras, drones, or smartphones.
Metadata Atom Stripping
ZeroMeta neutralizes moov, udta, and user data atoms while bit-copying video and audio streams.
Save Cleaned Video
Download video files without losing visual resolution or audio fidelity.
Supported File Formats & Capabilities
ZeroMeta validates authentic file binary headers and signatures prior to processing.
| Format | Extension | Inspection / Stripping Scope | Technical Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| MP4 / M4V | .mp4, .m4v | QuickTime atoms, creation time, handler descriptions | Stream copy ensures zero re-encoding time for fast processing. |
| QuickTime MOV | .mov | Apple iPhone ProRes / HEVC metadata atoms, location tags | Cleans smartphone camera profiles. |
| WebM / MKV | .webm, .mkv | Matroska Title, WritingApp, MuxingApp | Removes encoder fingerprints. |
Privacy Considerations
- Runs on-device via WebAssembly stream processors.
- Your private video footage is never uploaded to third-party cloud servers.
Technical Boundaries
- •Video metadata cleaning removes digital header tags; visual elements (like faces or timestamps burned into the video frames) are not removed.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does cleaning video metadata cause loss of video quality?
No. Video metadata stripping uses bitexact stream copy flags, leaving video H.264/HEVC/VP9 streams and AAC/Opus audio streams 100% unaltered.
