Parsing video metadata...
This video metadata viewer is simple to use, no registration or login required, all processing is done in your browser:
Upload Video: Drag and drop a video file into the dashed area, or click to select a local video file. Supports MP4, WebM, MOV, AVI, MKV, OGG and other common video formats. MP4 and WebM are recommended for best compatibility.
View Information: Once uploaded, the tool immediately parses video metadata, displaying resolution, duration, file size, MIME type, codec, aspect ratio, and more. The video preview window allows you to play the video directly.
Data Security: All processing is done locally in your browser. Video files are never uploaded to any server. The tool only reads metadata headers, not the full video content.
Video Creators: Quickly check basic information like resolution and duration of footage before editing, without opening professional editing software.
Web Developers: Verify uploaded video parameters to ensure they meet website playback requirements (resolution limits, format requirements, etc.).
Content Review: Quickly batch-check basic video properties for content categorization and format standardization workflows.
Everyday Use: When receiving video files, quickly understand video quality, duration, and other info to decide whether to watch or download.
Video Encoding vs Container: Video files typically consist of a "container format" and an "encoding format". The container (e.g., MP4, MKV) determines the file structure, while the encoding (e.g., H.264, VP9) determines how audio/video data is compressed. This tool obtains both types of information through browser APIs and file header parsing.
Frame Rate vs Refresh Rate: Video frame rate (fps) indicates the number of still images displayed per second. Common rates include 24fps (film), 30fps (TV), and 60fps (game recording). Higher frame rates produce smoother motion but larger files. This tool attempts to extract frame rate information from file headers.
Bitrate Significance: Bitrate represents the amount of data per second in a video, directly affecting video quality and file size. Higher bitrate means better quality but larger files. This tool calculates overall bitrate (file size Γ· duration) to help you evaluate compression efficiency.
It can display video resolution (width Γ height), duration, file size, MIME type, codec information (via browser parsing), aspect ratio, and more. For some formats, it also attempts to parse frame rate from file headers.
All browser-playable video formats are supported, including MP4 (H.264/H.265), WebM (VP8/VP9), MOV, AVI, MKV, OGG, and more. MP4 and WebM are recommended for the most complete information display.
No. All processing is done locally in your browser. Video files are never uploaded to any server. The tool uses HTML5 Video API and File API to read metadata client-side, ensuring your privacy.
Browser APIs don't directly expose video frame rate. However, this tool attempts to parse MP4 and some MOV file headers to extract frame rate information. For videos where frame rate cannot be determined, professional tools like FFmpeg or MediaInfo are recommended.
Browser support varies across video formats. Some formats (like AVI, MKV) may not be fully parseable by browsers, causing certain information to be unavailable. Using MP4 or WebM format is recommended for best compatibility.
This tool is suitable for quickly checking basic video information for everyday use. However, for professional video analysis needs (detailed encoding parameters, audio track details, subtitle information, etc.), MediaInfo remains the best choice.
