    In short

    Video codec checkers read a clip's container (MP4/MOV/WebM), video and audio codec, resolution, bitrate and duration. Adobe Stock, Shutterstock, iStock and Pond5 each accept only specific codecs (H.264, H.265, ProRes 422) — the wrong one is an automatic rejection. This free video metadata viewer checks compatibility in your browser before you upload.

    FAQ

    Video codec checker FAQ

    What does this tool tell me?

    Container (MP4/MOV/WebM), codec (H.264/H.265/VP9/AV1), resolution, duration, audio codec, calculated bitrate, and compatibility with major stock platforms.

    Why does codec matter for stock?

    Adobe Stock, Shutterstock, iStock, and Pond5 each accept specific codecs (H.264, H.265, ProRes 422). Wrong codec = automatic rejection. Check before you upload.

    Are videos uploaded?

    No. Reading happens in your browser. Files never leave your device.

    What about FPS detection?

    Browser APIs do not expose an accurate frame rate, so this tool does not guess one. Check FPS in your editor's export settings.
