Remove metadata from MOV (.mov)

Step-by-step: what metadata MOV contains, how ExifSweep removes it, and what gets preserved.

What MOV typically leaks

  • iPhone GPS
  • creation_time
  • com.apple.quicktime.* tags
  • Device model

Why this matters

MOV is the iPhone's recording format. It carries the most location metadata of any consumer video format.

How ExifSweep cleans it

Same FFmpeg.wasm pipeline — `-c copy -map_metadata -1`. MOV is essentially MP4 with a few QuickTime-specific atoms which the wipe also clears.

What we preserve

Video and audio bit-perfect; container is repacked.
