3GP Metadata Remover

Delete location, device, and encoder tags from 3GP/3GPP videos without changing streams or quality.

Why remove 3GP metadata?

3GP files from older phones can reveal location and device details. Cleaning removes that data while keeping the clip unchanged.

Hide where it was shot

Remove GPS and timestamps before sharing legacy phone clips.

Strip device fingerprints

Clear make/model and encoder notes tied to older handsets.

Share messages safely

Send 3GP clips without embedded comments or app identifiers.

Secure 3GP cleaning

We scrub 3GP metadata with container-aware tools, then delete the temporary file after your download.

Upload your 3GP video

Select a 3GP/3GPP clip. Uploads are encrypted and not stored after processing.

Remove location and device tags

We clear GPS, creation_time, make/model, encoder notes, and comments from 3GP metadata blocks.

Keep streams intact

Cleaning avoids re-encoding, preserving bitrate, resolution, and audio.

Download & purge

Download the cleaned 3GP; the temporary server copy is wiped immediately.

What 3GP metadata do we remove?

We clear 3GP tags that can expose where or how the clip was recorded while leaving streams untouched.

  • GPS coordinates and related location tags
  • creation_time and capture timestamps
  • Device make/model and encoder/application identifiers
  • Title, comment, and description fields
  • User data blocks in the 3GP container
  • XMP/EXIF fields carried over from recording devices
  • Optional thumbnails or cover images
  • Custom metadata added by messaging or conversion apps

Frequently Asked Questions

Does cleaning re-encode 3GP videos?

No. Streams stay the same; we only modify metadata.

Can you remove GPS from 3GP files?

Yes. GPS/location tags are cleared so the cleaned file no longer reveals where it was recorded.

Are device and encoder notes removed?

Yes. We clear make/model, encoder, and software identifiers.

Will file size change?

Only slightly if metadata or thumbnails are removed; video quality stays identical.
