Video Info and Metadata

Find out exactly what a file contains before you edit or share it: the codecs, the real resolution and frame rate, bitrates, audio and subtitle tracks, and any metadata tags.

  • Nothing is uploaded
  • Free, no sign-up, no watermark
  • Works offline once loaded

How to use Video Info

  1. 1

    Add the file

    Drop a video or audio file on the drop zone.

  2. 2

    Read the report

    The container, duration, size and overall bitrate appear first, followed by every video, audio and subtitle stream.

  3. 3

    Check the details

    Expand Metadata tags to see dates, device and software tags. Copy the full report as text or JSON if you need to share it.

Why use Aback Video for this

  • Every stream

    Codec, profile, resolution, frame rate, bitrate, pixel format, colour, sample rate, channels and languages.

  • Hidden metadata

    See creation dates, device models, GPS tags and encoder software stored in the file.

  • Copy as JSON

    Export the full ffprobe report for support tickets or scripts.

  • Read locally

    The file is inspected in your browser and never uploaded.

Frequently asked questions

Why does my phone video show a rotation?

Phones often store video sideways with a rotation tag that tells players to turn it. Video Info shows the tag so you can understand why some apps display the video sideways.

What does variable frame rate mean?

Phones and screen recorders sometimes vary the frame rate. Some editors handle this poorly, which can cause audio drift; converting with Change Frame Rate gives a constant rate.

Is the bitrate exact?

It is the bitrate stored in the file or calculated from size and duration. Some formats, such as WebM, do not store a per-stream bitrate.

Can I remove the metadata I see?

Yes. Remove Metadata strips the tags without re-encoding.

Is my file uploaded?

No. ffprobe runs in your browser as WebAssembly and reads the file locally.

Does it work with audio files?

Yes. Audio files show their codec, bitrate, sample rate, channels and tags.
