Why remove MKV metadata?

MKV files can carry muxing, encoder, and user tags that expose sources or workflows. Cleaning removes them while preserving streams.

Share encodes anonymously

Remove muxing app and encoder tags before distributing MKVs.

Deliver clean subtitles

Strip chapter titles and comments while keeping subtitle tracks intact.

Remove embedded artwork

Delete attachments like cover art that may reveal origin or branding.

Secure MKV cleaning

We scrub MKV tags and attachments while preserving streams and chapters, then delete the temporary file after processing.

Upload your MKV

Select an MKV/Matroska file. Uploads are encrypted and not stored after processing.

Strip tags and attachments

We remove segment/track/chapter tags, encoder notes, comments, and attached images or fonts.

Preserve streams and HDR

Video, audio, subtitles, HDR flags, and chapters stay intact; only metadata is cleared.

Download & purge

Download the cleaned MKV; the temporary copy is wiped immediately.
