Remove audio metadata
Strip every tag from an MP3, FLAC, M4A or OGG file — title, artist, album, cover art and the encoder vendor string — and save a clean copy. Runs entirely in your browser; the audio is copied byte for byte.

Audio files carry more than you might expect: the title and artist you can see, but also embedded cover art and the vendor string identifying the software that encoded them. This tool strips all of it from MP3, FLAC, M4A and OGG files and saves a clean copy, with the audio itself copied byte for byte. It runs entirely in your browser, so the file is never uploaded.
How to use Remove audio metadata
- Add your audio file — Drag an MP3, FLAC, M4A or OGG onto the drop zone, or click to browse.
- See what it is carrying — The tool lists every tag block it finds — an MP3 can hold ID3v2, ID3v1 and APEv2 at the same time, which is why deleted metadata sometimes reappears.
- Save a clean copy — Choose the clean copy option and confirm. Your original file is left untouched.
Frequently asked questions
Does removing metadata change the audio?
No. Only the metadata region is rewritten and the audio is copied byte for byte, so there is no re-encoding and no quality loss.
Is the file uploaded to a server?
No. Everything happens in your browser on your own device, and it works offline once the page has loaded.
Is absolutely everything removed?
For MP3, FLAC and M4A, yes — every tag block goes. OGG is the one exception: both Vorbis and Opus require a comment header to be present, so it is written empty rather than deleted, vendor string included.
