Media info
Everything about a video, photo or sound file.
What it does
Reads a video, photo or sound file and tells you what’s inside: codec, resolution, frame rate, bit rate, 8 or 10 bits, 4:2:0 or 4:2:2, color and HDR, timecode, sound, and for photos the shot (lens, shutter speed, aperture, ISO).
How
- Choose a file, or drop it on the page on a computer.
- On the left, the summary and what deserves attention (variable frame rate, interlaced, HDR, anamorphic, sound at 44.1 kHz, GPS position…). On the right, the details, track by track: tap a line to copy it.
- Close forgets the file: the tool is empty again.
- Copy the report gives the full MediaInfo report, in English, to paste in a message or a forum. It also shows at the bottom (Full report).
Good to know
The file is read on your device: nothing is sent, and only the useful parts are read, so even a file of several GB takes an instant.
On iPhone, pick the video from Files: from Photos, iOS may convert it first (to H.264, for example), and you’d read the copy.
The preview only shows if the browser can play the file (ProRes, for example, often can’t): the information is read anyway.
