Audio Metadata Viewer — Frequently Asked Questions
Is my audio file uploaded to a server?
No. The file is read with the FileReader API and parsed by JavaScript in your browser tab. Nothing is transmitted, logged or stored anywhere.
What kind of metadata does the viewer show?
ID3 tags (title, artist, album, year, genre, comments, lyrics, encoder, ReplayGain), embedded cover art, Vorbis comments in FLAC and OGG, WAV LIST/INFO and broadcast (bext) fields, plus codec, bitrate, sample rate and duration.
Why does it matter?
Metadata travels with the file. A photo can reveal where your home is, a PDF can reveal who wrote it and with what, an audio export can reveal the software and account used. Knowing what is inside lets you decide what to share — the Audio Metadata Remover strips it in one step.
Why can't OGG files be cleaned?
OGG stores its comment block inside checksummed pages, so removing it means rewriting and re-checksumming the whole stream. The viewer still shows everything; to strip it, convert the file to MP3 or FLAC first.
Can it also remove the metadata?
This page is read-only by design. Use the Audio Metadata Remover — same parser, plus a lossless clean-up and download.
