What is MOV Metadata?
MOV files store hidden information called metadata that describes the file's properties, creation details, and technical specifications. This embedded data can include timestamps, author information, device details, location data, and various technical parameters that aren't visible when simply viewing the file.

Frequently Asked Questions
Are there any costs to use this MOV tool?
None whatsoever. We believe metadata editing should be accessible to everyone, so we've made this tool permanently free without any monetization through ads, data collection, or paid upgrades.
Do you store or access my MOV files?
It's technically impossible for us to access your files. The processing happens using JavaScript running in your browser tab, with no backend servers involved in the metadata manipulation process.
What metadata can I change in MOV files?
You have control over descriptive metadata like author names, creation timestamps, copyright information, and custom tags. Format-specific technical metadata may be viewable but not editable to maintain file integrity.
Is this compatible with mobile browsers?
Yes, we support all major mobile browsers including Safari on iOS, Chrome and Firefox on Android, and Samsung Internet. The layout automatically adjusts to fit your screen size.
Will my MOV file be damaged by editing metadata?
File damage is not possible with our tool. We only modify the metadata container while leaving the core file data untouched, similar to editing a document's properties without changing its content.
Can I edit multiple MOV files simultaneously?
The current version processes one file at a time, which actually provides better control and lets you review each file's metadata individually before making changes.
