Remove WAV metadata

Upload a WAV file and strip every metadata tag. The audio itself is copied losslessly.

Cleaning WAV headers

WAV files can carry metadata in INFO chunks and other extensions: software names, timestamps, artist fields, and notes written by recorders and editors. This tool removes them, copying the PCM audio exactly.

Who needs clean WAVs

Studios delivering masters without internal notes, sound designers shipping libraries free of tool fingerprints, and anyone submitting WAVs to systems that choke on nonstandard chunks.

Is the audio altered at all?

No, the samples are copied unchanged; the file simply loses its metadata chunks.

Yes, in your browser, with no upload.
