Drop MP4 / MOV clip here

TikTok, Reels & Shorts ready. No file size upload limit.

.MP4 .MOV .M4V
Cleaner Settings (TikTok & Reels Safe)

Generates a fresh cryptographic SHA-256 signature by appending safe digital salt. Bypasses duplicate-content detection and repost flags on TikTok, Instagram Reels, and YouTube Shorts without re-rendering.

Zeros out the original video recording dates and export timestamps from CapCut, Adobe Premiere, Final Cut, or phone cameras.

Removes hidden GPS location coordinates, camera hardware models (iPhone, DJI drone, Sony), and editing software traces.

Awaiting Video Upload

Drag a video onto the drop target. Tracking tags are scrubbed, timestamps reset, and a new unique hash is generated in milliseconds right in your browser.

Frequently Asked Questions

How Metadata & Anti-Duplicate Scrubbing Works

Understand how TikTok, Reels, and Shorts detect duplicate uploads and how TikScrub protects your reach.

1 Why does TikTok flag re-uploaded content?

When you post a video to TikTok, Instagram Reels, or YouTube Shorts, automated ingestion systems immediately analyze the video container for duplicate indicators. These include:

  • File Checksums (SHA-256 Hash): A unique mathematical signature generated from the file's raw bytes. If you re-post a video without modification, its hash directly matches previously uploaded clips.
  • Creation & Modification Timestamps: Internal file dates from CapCut, Adobe Premiere, or camera apps indicating when the file was originally exported.
  • Hardware & Location Tags: Embedded GPS coordinates and camera model metadata (e.g., iPhone, DJI drone serials).

If platforms detect identical hashes or recurring edit metadata, your clip is flagged as "Unoriginal Content." This suppresses your video from the "For You" (FYP) feed, caps your impressions at near-zero views, and can disqualify your account from monetization programs.

2 What is an MP4 hash and why does changing it help?

An MP4 hash (such as SHA-256) is a 64-character digital fingerprint computed mathematically from every single byte of your video file. If two files have the exact same bytes, their hashes will be 100% identical. Social media platforms use these hashes as quick database lookup keys to instantly detect duplicate videos without having to run heavy AI video analysis.

TikScrub breaks this duplicate fingerprint by appending harmless, standard-compliant cryptographic entropy padding to the container structure. This generates a completely brand-new, unique SHA-256 hash. To TikTok's scanners, the video appears as a completely distinct, original file that has never been uploaded before.

3 Does this tool reduce video quality?

No. TikScrub is 100% lossless with zero re-encoding.

Conventional video converters or editing apps re-compress your video stream using lossy codecs (like H.264 or HEVC). This takes minutes, heats up your CPU, causes generational blurriness, and degrades resolution and color fidelity.

TikScrub operates entirely at the MP4 file container level in under 5 milliseconds. It only strips metadata header tags and resets timestamps. Your video frames, audio frequencies, bitrate, and resolution remain bit-for-bit identical to the original recording.
