Why remove 3G2 metadata?

3G2 videos can embed carrier and device tags plus GPS data. Cleaning removes those identifiers while keeping streams intact.

Hide location and device info

Remove GPS and phone identifiers before sharing 3G2 clips.

Reduce carrier fingerprints

Clear carrier-specific notes and encoder tags from legacy recordings.

Share archives safely

Deliver 3G2 videos without embedded comments or custom fields.

Secure 3G2 cleaning

We clear 3G2 metadata using container-aware tools and delete the temporary file right after your download.

Upload your 3G2 file

Select a 3G2/3GPP2 video. Uploads are encrypted and not stored after processing.

Strip location and device tags

We remove GPS, creation_time, make/model, encoder, carrier, and comment fields from the container.

Preserve video/audio

Streams, bitrate, and resolution stay the same—only metadata is cleared.

Download & purge

Download the cleaned 3G2; the temporary server copy is wiped immediately.

What 3G2 metadata do we remove?

We clear tags that expose location, device, or carrier details while keeping the video identical.

GPS coordinates and related EXIF/XMP location fields
creation_time and capture timestamps
Device make/model, encoder, and carrier-specific identifiers
Title, comment, and description metadata
User data blocks and custom fields in the container
Optional thumbnails or cover images
Application or software notes from conversion tools
Language or track description fields

Why 3G2 metadata is carrier-specific

3G2 is the 3GPP2 variant of 3GP designed for CDMA networks — Verizon, Sprint, and their Asian equivalents — and the metadata conventions differ from the GSM-world 3GP in ways that matter for privacy. Many 3G2 files from early-2000s Verizon phones include a carrier-specific brand atom that identifies the operator, a billing-account reference, and a 'deck' identifier used internally by the carrier's content-management systems. These fields were never meant to be user-visible, but they ride along with the file when it is exported or shared.

Capture clips also carry low-accuracy GPS from the pre-A-GPS assisted-positioning era (accuracy typically 100m–1km), device make/model atoms that identify the specific handset generation, and EVRC/QCELP audio metadata that reveals the voice codec's bitrate profile — another fingerprint for the source network. Cleaning strips the carrier atoms, device identifiers, GPS, creation timestamps, and user data without transcoding the video or voice streams.
