Tails includes [*Metadata Cleaner*](https://gitlab.com/metadatacleaner/metadatacleaner) so you can remove metadata from files before you publish or share them.

Video files, such as .mp4 and .avi

<p>Also, you should save files in simpler formats whenever possible.
For example, instead of saving a text document as a .docx file,
you can save the document as a plain .txt file.</p>

Execute the following command. Replace <span class="command-placeholder">file.ext</span> with a path to the file that you want to clean.
