Video FPS Checker
Measure a video's frame rate (FPS) by playing a few seconds in your browser.
Browsers do not expose the stored frame rate. The value is measured from decoded frames during a short muted playback. Need the exact value? Use the Video Metadata Viewer.
How is the frame rate measured?
Browsers don't expose the frame rate stored in a video file. This tool plays your video muted for a few seconds and measures the timing of real decoded frames to calculate the FPS. The result is matched to standard values such as 23.976, 24, 25, 29.97, 30, 50 or 60 fps.
Honest results
Slow devices may drop frames, or the screen refresh rate may cap the measurement. When a reliable value can't be obtained, the tool tells you instead of guessing.
Need the exact value?
Use the Video Metadata Viewer to read the exact FPS stored in the file's headers. With this checker your video is never uploaded.
How to use Video FPS Checker

FAQ
Why can't the exact FPS always be read?
Browsers hide container metadata, slow devices can drop frames and playback may be capped at the screen refresh rate. Use the Video Metadata Viewer for the exact stored value.
Is a 60 fps video measured correctly on a 60 Hz screen?
Usually yes, but rates above the refresh rate, such as 120 fps, may not be measured accurately.
What's the difference between 23.976 and 24 fps?
23.976 fps is 24 × 1000/1001, used for NTSC compatibility. The difference matters for subtitle sync.
