Why remove AAC metadata?

AAC tags can reveal source apps, libraries, and artwork. Cleaning removes them while preserving the bitstream.

Share AAC files privately

Strip artwork and comments before sending or publishing.

Remove encoder fingerprints

Clear software/device tags left by export tools.

Deliver client-ready audio

Send AAC masters without embedded metadata or cover images.

Secure AAC cleaning

We scrub AAC tags and artwork without altering audio, then delete the temp file after your download.

Upload your AAC file

Select an AAC (.aac) file. Uploads use HTTPS and are not stored after processing.

Strip tags & artwork

We clear titles, comments, encoder/app tags, and embedded images.

Preserve the bitstream

Audio frames, bitrate, and loudness remain identical—no re-encoding.

Download & purge

Download the cleaned AAC instantly; the temporary copy is wiped immediately.

What AAC metadata do we remove?

We clear AAC tags that expose library, device, or workflow info while leaving the audio unchanged.

  • Title, artist, album, album artist, genre, track numbers
  • Comments, description, lyrics, and custom fields
  • Encoder/software and application identifiers
  • Embedded cover art or pictures
  • Publisher, copyright, grouping, and ISRC fields
  • User data atoms added by tagging tools
  • ReplayGain or sound check tags in metadata
  • Podcast or streaming-specific identifiers

Frequently Asked Questions

Will audio quality change?

Do you remove cover images?

Yes. Embedded artwork is stripped from the metadata.

Are encoder/app tags cleared?

Yes. Encoder, software, and custom fields are removed during cleaning.

Is this different from M4A cleaning?

AAC elementary streams often carry similar tags; we clean them without wrapping changes.
