Video Inspector — Instant File Metadata

You receive a video file and immediately have questions: What codec? What resolution? How long is it? Video Inspector answers all of them without touching FFmpeg or opening QuickTime.

What it does

Drop any video file onto the page. The tool reads the file locally (nothing is uploaded) and displays:

Field	Example
File size	142 MB
Codec	H.264 / AVC
Resolution	1920x1080
Duration	00:04:32
Modified date	2026-01-15

FFmpeg command generator

Below the metadata, Video Inspector generates a ready-to-copy ffmpeg transcription command — formatted for the detected codec and resolution. Useful when you need to convert, compress, or extract audio.

Entirely local

The video is read using the Web File API. It never leaves your machine. No upload, no server, no waiting.
