About Video Metadata Viewer

Video Metadata Viewer is a free in-browser video utility that lets you view codec, resolution, duration and other video metadata using modern browser APIs. It is built for content creators, social media managers, developers, and educators who need fast video edits without uploading files to a server or paying for a desktop app. Every operation runs locally — your videos never leave your device, even when extracting frames, generating GIFs, or recording your screen. Because the processing is local, Video Metadata Viewer is usable on locked-down corporate laptops and school networks where uploading work files to a third-party service is a policy violation. Video Metadata Viewer handles modern web formats (MP4, WebM) reliably; older formats (MOV, AVI) depend on your browser's codec support. Nothing you load into Video Metadata Viewer is uploaded: the file or text is read with the browser's own FileReader and processed in page memory, so the work finishes even if your connection drops mid-task. Video Metadata Viewer is part of our Video Tools collection, which covers conversion, trimming, recording, and metadata inspection. If you also need a complementary utility, try our Video to GIF. It is free, requires no signup, and works in any modern browser that supports the relevant video APIs.
