FAQ
Questions people ask about Free Video Metadata Viewer
Why is codec missing sometimes?+
Browsers do not always expose full container metadata. We show everything available client-side without a server probe.
Is the file uploaded?+
No. Metadata is read locally from the file you select.
Is the metadata viewer free?+
Yes. Inspect duration, resolution, and related fields locally with no signup.
What video metadata can I see?+
Typically duration, dimensions, and whatever your browser exposes from the file. Full codec trees may need a desktop probe for some containers.
Do I need an account?+
No. Open the tool, use it in your browser, and download or copy the result.
Does this work on Mac and Windows?+
Yes. It runs in modern desktop browsers (Chrome, Edge, Firefox, Safari). Very large media files need enough device memory.
Need a full video, not just a utility?
Checking exports is smart. Generating LMS-ready training from the source policy is the Knowlify workflow.
