Why remove WAV metadata?
WAV and Broadcast WAV files can include engineer notes, timecodes, and session details. Cleaning removes that context while preserving PCM audio.
Deliver client-ready stems
Send WAVs without engineer notes, scene/take info, or timestamps.
Protect session details
Remove DAW/recorder fingerprints and location/time references.
Keep archives private
Strip cart and broadcast tags before sharing or publishing.
Secure WAV cleaning
We scrub WAV metadata chunks while keeping PCM audio identical, then delete the temporary file after processing.
Upload your WAV/BWF
Select a WAV or BWF file. Uploads are encrypted and not stored after processing.
Strip RIFF/BEXT/iXML tags
We remove RIFF INFO, BEXT broadcast chunks, iXML, cart tags, and cue metadata.
Preserve PCM audio
Sample rate, bit depth, channels, and wave data remain unchanged—metadata only.
Download & purge
Download the cleaned WAV instantly; the temporary copy is wiped immediately.
What WAV metadata do we remove?
We clear WAV/BWF metadata that exposes session, engineer, or location info while keeping audio frames intact.
- RIFF INFO fields (IART, INAM, ICRD, ICMT, etc.)
- BEXT broadcast metadata including description, originator, time reference
- iXML production data, scene/take numbers, notes
- Cart chunk fields (title, artist, cut ID, outcue)
- Cue points and label chunks used for markers
- Software/encoder identifiers and engineer notes
- Embedded thumbnails if present in ancillary chunks
- Custom or proprietary chunks added by DAWs/recorders
