01
Choose a video file

02
Read metadata
We extract duration, resolution, frame rate, file size, and format from the video file.

Use these details for editing decisions, export planning, upload requirements, or compression.

Frequently asked questions
Answers about privacy, limits, and how this free free video file inspector works.
Is the video uploaded to Scribia?
No. We only read metadata in your browser using the HTML5 video element. The file never reaches our servers.
Why is there a 200 MB limit?
Inspection is local and browser-based, but very large files can strain browser memory. For best results, keep files under 200 MB.
What video formats work?
MP4, WebM, MOV, and other formats your browser can play. Support depends on your browser and installed codecs.
Does this tool cost anything?
No. Scribia’s video file inspector is completely free with no signup, login, watermark, or file upload required.
