Wait for Automatic Analysis
The tool reads your video file directly in the browser using built-in media APIs. No data is sent to any server. Analysis typically completes in under a second. - 3
Review the Extracted Metadata
Browse the organized results showing general file info, video stream details (codec, resolution, frame rate, bitrate), and audio stream details (codec, sample rate, channels, bitrate). - 4
Copy or Export the Results
Click the Copy All button to copy every metadata field to your clipboard in a clean text format. Use this data in bug reports, documentation, or media asset management systems.

Why use our Video Metadata Extractor?
The Video Metadata Extractor reads technical information embedded in video files and presents it in a clear, organized layout. Every video file carries hidden data describing how it was encoded: the video codec (H.264, H.265, VP9, AV1), resolution and aspect ratio, frame rate, bitrate, and full audio stream details. This tool surfaces all of that information instantly, right inside your browser.
Unlike server-based metadata tools, this extractor processes files locally using the browser's built-in media APIs. Your videos never leave your device, which makes it safe to inspect confidential recordings, unreleased footage, or any file you would rather not upload to a third-party service. There are no file size caps, no daily usage limits, and no account required.
Video metadata is useful at every stage of a media workflow. Editors rely on codec and frame rate data to configure timeline settings. Developers check container formats and audio channels when debugging playback bugs. Content creators verify resolution and bitrate before uploading to platforms like YouTube or TikTok. If you need to convert a file after inspecting it, try the Video Format Converter. To strip audio from a video, use Video to Audio. For removing sensitive EXIF data from images, see the EXIF Remover.
How It Compares
Most video metadata tools require you to install desktop software like MediaInfo or FFprobe, or they ask you to upload files to a remote server. Desktop tools work well but take time to install and update. Server-based tools raise privacy concerns because your video must be transferred over the network. The FindUtils Video Metadata Extractor runs entirely in the browser with zero installation, zero uploads, and zero cost.
Compared to command-line tools, this extractor presents the same core information (codec, resolution, frame rate, bitrate, audio details) in a visual layout anyone can read. Power users who need raw container-level data may still prefer FFprobe, but for quick checks, quality verification, and day-to-day media work, the browser-based approach is faster and more accessible.
