Our enterprise-grade tool uses 35+ advanced detection methods with binary-level box parsing to identify and remove ALL metadata including GPS coordinates, iTunes data, UUID identifiers, and hidden data boxes that competitors miss.

moov:Movie metadata container
udta:User data & comments
meta:Metadata container
uuid:Unique device identifiers
Β©xyz:GPS location coordinates

Binary-Level Precision

Our removal process operates at the binary level:

1Parse MPEG-4 Part 14 structure
2Identify all metadata boxes
3Remove boxes while preserving video
4Reconstruct clean MP4 binary
5Verify playback integrity
