What gets removed
GPS coordinates, capture date and time, camera and lens, exposure settings, editing software, and any comment or copyright fields. What survives is the handful of fields that identify the container itself, such as the MP4 brand, which say nothing about you.
Video is copied, photos are re-saved
For video and audio the streams are copied rather than re-encoded, so the picture and sound are bit for bit what they were and a long file finishes in seconds. Rotation survives too, so a phone clip will not come out sideways.
A photo is different. JPEG and WebP keep their tags inside the image data itself, not in a wrapper around it, so the only way to remove them is to decode the picture and save it again. That costs one generation of JPEG quality, which the quality slider controls. PNG re-saves losslessly, so it costs nothing.
Why bother
Big platforms strip metadata on upload, but files shared any other way usually keep it. A photo taken at home carries your address as coordinates; a document photo carries the timestamp of when you really took it. If a file is going to someone you do not know, stripping it costs nothing.
Check what is in there first with view metadata, then strip it here and check again.
Common questions
Does this change the picture quality?
Not for video or audio, which are copied through without re-encoding. A JPEG or WebP photo has to be re-saved to lose its tags, which costs one generation of compression; the quality slider sets how much. PNG is lossless either way.
Does it remove a visible watermark?
No. This removes hidden tags, not anything drawn into the picture.
Can the metadata be recovered from the output?
Not from the output file. Your original still has it, so keep or delete that as you prefer.
