FAQ

About strip metadata

Is the video re-encoded?

No. The audio and video streams are copied bit-for-bit; only the container is rewritten without its metadata, so the output is fast and identical in quality.

Exactly what is removed?

Global and per-stream tags: GPS coordinates, device make and model, creation and modification times, software and encoder tags.
