Inspect a video's codec, resolution, FPS, bitrate, duration and audio track details.
Your files are ready
How is your video encoded?
A video file consists of layers: a container (MP4, MKV, MOV), a video codec (H.264, H.265/HEVC, VP9, AV1) and an audio codec (AAC, MP3, Opus). To understand why a video won't play on a device, why it's so large or why a platform rejects it, you need this information.
Information shown
- Container format and total duration
- Video codec, resolution, frame rate (FPS) and bitrate
- Audio codec, sample rate, channel count and bitrate
- Overall file bitrate
The data is read on our server with ffprobe directly from the file's headers, which is far more precise than browser measurements. Uploaded files are deleted automatically after inspection.
How to use Video Metadata Viewer
- Upload the video file to inspect.
- The analysis finishes in a few seconds.
- Review the technical details of the video and audio streams.
- Copy the results if needed.

FAQ
Why won't my video play on my phone?
Usually because of codec incompatibility. Some older devices can't play H.265 (HEVC) or AV1 videos, for example.
How is this different from the browser FPS checker?
This tool reads the exact value stored in the file; the in-browser FPS Checker measures playback and gives an estimate.
Which formats are supported?
MP4, MOV, MKV, WebM, AVI and other common video formats.
