Remove the location from a video

1. 1Choose the video (MP4 or MOV, for example straight from your iPhone or Android phone).
2. 2See what it holds: the place it was filmed and the camera, if the phone saved them.
3. 3Press "Remove location", then download the clean copy or send it from your phone.

Phones save the GPS position where a video was recorded inside the file, along with the phone's make and model and the date. Photo apps use it for their map. But the file keeps it when you send it as a file, post it on some sites or put it in a shared folder, and anyone can read it with free tools.

That is how a video filmed at home can give away your address. This tool writes a new copy with the same video and sound and none of that information.

• Removed: location (GPS), camera make and model, creation date, software, titles, comments and chapters.
• Kept: the picture and sound, untouched. They are copied, not re-encoded, so nothing gets worse and even long videos take seconds.

Choose it here: before you remove anything, we show the location we found, or "None found". On an iPhone you can also open the video in Photos and swipe up: a map means it has a location. In Google Photos, open the video and swipe up to see its details.

Every other Snipmill tool leaves the location out of the files it makes too, so a compressed or trimmed video is already clean.

Nothing is uploaded. Your video is read and rewritten in your browser, which is the point of a privacy tool.
