Photos name the camera. Documents name the author and count the minutes. Audio names the encoder. Text carries characters you cannot see. StripShot Everything finds all of it and removes it in your browser, with nothing uploaded and nothing re-encoded.

MP4 and MOV container cleaning.
No. Every engine on this page takes bytes in and returns bytes out inside your browser tab. StripShot has no server route that receives file contents. Close the tab and the files are gone.
No. Images, video and audio are edited at the container level; pixels, frames and samples are untouched. Office files are unzipped and rezipped. PDFs are re-serialized, not re-rendered. If a format cannot be cleaned without re-encoding, the tool reports it and leaves the file alone.
Scans are free and unlimited. Strips share the same small daily free quota as the photo tool. Pro and Full Access are unlimited and add batch: drop a whole folder, strip everything in one click and download the clean set as a zip with a JSON report.
Every strip is followed by a re-scan of the output. The findings that are gone are struck through, and anything left is listed by name. The JSON report records both.
It cannot remove pixel watermarks such as SynthID from images or video, inaudible watermarks from audio, or statistical token watermarks from text. Those live in the content, not the metadata, and StripShot says so rather than pretending otherwise.
Text cleaning adapted from the MIT-licensed watermarks-remover project by Guillaume Meyer. Everything else is StripShot's own engine.
