Read the details
Within a moment the page lists the file, the picture, each sound track, the subtitles and any hidden tags.
Copy what you need
Press Copy the details to paste the technical sections into a message. The hidden tags are left out of the copy.
Add a video and see everything the file says about itself: how big the picture is, how fast it moves, which codecs it uses, how many sound tracks it has and what tags it carries. The details appear in plain words within a moment, and the video is not uploaded.
Phones and cameras write tags into a video: where it was recorded, which device recorded it, when, and sometimes a title or a program name. When the file has them, they appear in a section marked as seen only by you. Nothing is sent anywhere, and the Copy button leaves the section out so that you can paste the specifications into a message without sharing a location. To take the tags out of the file itself, use the Video Metadata Remover.
Resolution and frame rate say how detailed and smooth a video is; the data rate says how much each second of it costs in file size, so a 1080p video at a very low data rate will look softer than one at a high rate. The picture and sound codecs matter when a player refuses to open a file, and HDR and 10-bit colour matter before you grade or compress a video.
Your browser reads the file's details on your own phone or computer. There is no account, no watermark and no limit on how many videos you check. The first time you use any of the video or audio tools on this site, your browser downloads the small engine that does the work (about 10 MB) and keeps it for next time. Videos up to 150 MB can be added.
Add the video. The Picture section shows its size in pixels as a player shows it, such as 1920 × 1080, with a name when it has one (1080p, 4K).
Add the video and read Frame rate in the Picture section, for example 30 frames per second. A phone video is usually 30 or 60, a film look is 24, and some files vary a little, so the page gives the file's average.
Add the video. Picture format is the picture's codec (H.264, H.265, VP9, AV1 and so on) and Sound format is the sound's codec (AAC, MP3, Opus and so on). Each sound track and subtitle track is listed.
It is the information stored inside a video file besides the picture and sound: how long it is, what size, which codecs, the frame rate, and often tags such as the date it was recorded, the phone or camera that recorded it and sometimes where. This page shows all of it in plain words.
Add the video. If the file records them, a Hidden details section shows the place, the phone or camera and the date and time. It is shown only to you, on your own device, and to remove it from the file use the Video Metadata Remover.
Open this page in Safari, choose the video from your photos and read the details on the page. The Photos app also shows a video's date, device and location when you swipe up on it.
Partly. On Windows, right-click the file, choose Properties and open the Details tab for the frame width and height and the frame rate. In VLC, Tools then Codec Information lists each stream. In QuickTime Player on a Mac, Command-I opens an information window with, among other things, the data rate. This page puts it all in one place, on a phone too.
It is how much data is spent on each second of the video, shown in kbps or Mbps. At the same resolution, a higher rate usually means more detail and a bigger file, and a very low rate means the video has been squeezed hard. The page shows it for the whole file, the picture and each sound track.
The file type (MP4, MKV, WebM) is the box; the codec (H.264, VP9, AAC) is how the picture or sound inside is packed. One box can hold several codecs, so two MP4 files can differ inside.
Many phones save a video sideways and add a note saying turn it by 90 degrees when playing. The page shows the size as a player shows it (1080 × 1920 for an upright phone video) and tells you how the file is stored.
Look at the HDR row: it says HDR10 (PQ) or HLG when the file is marked that way, and No for ordinary video. Colour depth shows 10-bit for most HDR video, though 10-bit alone does not make a video HDR.
It is how many shades each colour channel can hold: 8-bit gives 256 and 10-bit gives 1,024. Ordinary video is 8-bit and HDR video is usually 10-bit, which avoids visible bands in smooth skies.
The Picture section shows it, for example 16:9 for a wide video and 9:16 for an upright phone video, worked out from the picture size as played.
Quality is a mix of resolution, data rate, frame rate and how the video was made. The page shows each of them, so you can see, for example, a 1080p video at a very low data rate that will look soft. It reads what the file states and does not judge the picture itself.
Yes. Each sound track gets its own section with its codec, channels, sample rate, data rate and language, and subtitles are listed with their language and type.
The row appears when the file records how many frames it holds. MP4 and MOV files usually do; WebM and MKV files often don't.
Yes, press Copy the details. The copy holds the technical sections and leaves out the Hidden details section, so you can paste it into a message without sharing where a video was recorded.
No. Your browser reads the file's details on your own phone or computer, so neither the video nor what is in it leaves your device.
MP4, MOV, MKV, WebM, AVI and WMV, up to 150 MB.
It reads the same kind of information that tools such as MediaInfo and ffprobe read, using ffprobe itself in your browser, and shows the details people ask for most in plain words.
Under a second once your browser has started its engine. In testing, a 71 MB one-minute 1080p video's details appeared in about a quarter of a second, and the first read after the page loads takes about two seconds longer while the engine starts.
Yes. Video Metadata Remover makes a copy without the location, device, date and other tags, and Trim, Split and the other video tools on this site work on the same files.
It is free, with no watermark, no account and no limit on how many videos you check.
