RaveToolsMetadata Remover

Remove MP3 Metadata

Audio files carry tags: MP3 uses ID3v1 and ID3v2, FLAC uses Vorbis comments, M4A uses iTunes-style atoms. This tool cuts those tags out - the ID3v2 block at the start, the ID3v1 block at the end - and keeps the audio frames untouched, so nothing is re-encoded. Processed locally in your browser - nothing is uploaded.

What gets removed

Tags are how players show track info, but they can also carry your name in a comment, an encoder fingerprint, and embedded cover art you may not want to ship. Stripping them leaves clean audio with no identifying tags, at full original quality.

  • ID3v2 tags (title, artist, album, comments)
  • ID3v1 tag (last 128 bytes)
  • Embedded cover art (APIC)
  • Encoder / "encoded by" fields
  • FLAC Vorbis comments and M4A iTunes tags

Frequently Asked Questions

About stripping EXIF, GPS, AI workflow data and other embedded metadata.

No. The tool cuts the ID3v2 header and the ID3v1 trailer and copies the audio frames unchanged, so there is no re-compression and no quality loss.

Yes. FLAC Vorbis comments and M4A metadata atoms are removed the same way, keeping the audio stream intact.
