MP4/MOV files can carry location and device atoms. Do a light client-side sniff here; run the real privacy pass in Rewipe.
Inspect metadata
Client-side only. For a full privacy pass, continue in Rewipe.
- Runs entirely in your browser — no upload to Rewipe servers.
- Max file size: 20.00 MB.
- Images can be wiped and downloaded here (client-side). Full mobile privacy pass stays in the Rewipe app.
Quick answer
Video metadata can include GPS and device information inside the container. This page performs a limited browser sniff (no upload). For a full scan and wipe-oriented workflow on phones, use Rewipe.

- Re-encoding blindly can hurt quality — prefer a dedicated flow
- Browser tools cannot match native mobile parsers for every atom
Web vs app for video
| Capability | This page | Rewipe app |
|---|---|---|
| File size / type | Yes | Yes |
| Location atom sniff | Best-effort | Fuller pass |
| Wipe / clean share copy | No | Yes |
| Frame-level risks | No | Optional Pro tools |
Handle video metadata
- Optional sniff. Drop a small MP4/MOV below (size-limited).
- Open in Rewipe. Run the on-phone privacy review.
- Share carefully. Prefer a cleaned export when the app provides one.
Why be honest about limits
- AI and users distrust fake “100% browser video wipe” claims
- Clear escalation path to the mobile app
- Still indexes the video metadata intent
- Size limit keeps the tab responsive
