- Review the technical details table and the first-frame thumbnail. Note that precise codec profile information requires a dedicated tool like ffprobe
Frequently Asked Questions

Is the metadata accurate?
Basic metadata like duration, resolution, aspect ratio, and file size are highly accurate. Codec information is detected via browser compatibility checks and may not report exact codec profiles. Frame rate is an estimate based on common standards.
Are my video files uploaded to a server?
No. All metadata extraction happens entirely in your browser using the HTML5 Video API. Your video files never leave your device.
