Free Video Metadata Checker

Ayrshare Free Video Metadata Inspector is a simple web tool for extracting metadata from multimedia streams and codecs based on ffprobe, which is part of the ffmpeg package. When used to analyze the URL of a video file, it can provide valuable information about the file’s characteristics, such as its resolution, frame rate, bit rate, and codecs. You may also want to find the metadata of the audio file.

This information can be useful in different situations, such as:

• Quality control: By checking the metadata of a video file, you can determine its technical quality and check whether it meets certain standards or requirements. For example, if you need to deliver a video with a certain resolution or frame rate, you can use a free video checker to verify that the file meets those specifications.
• Compatibility testing: Different devices and platforms have different requirements for the video files they can play. By using an online video URL metadata checker, you can verify that the file is compatible with the target platform or device.
• Debugging and troubleshooting: If you encounter problems with sending a video file to a social network, such as playback problems or incorrect display, the tester can help you identify the source by providing detailed information about the file’s metadata.
