Media Info
Inspect container, duration, dimensions, rotation, codecs, channels, and sample rate.
Tool code processes selected files and entered content in your browser and does not submit them to a TOOLGRID processing endpoint. TOOLGRID measures tool usage, not the content you enter.

What this tool does
Read local video or audio metadata with Mediabunny. The report identifies tracks and browser decode capability without transcoding the file.
Inspect before converting, record the container and track codecs, then choose the smallest necessary operation.
Processing starts only after you choose files and press the action button. The media engine is not preloaded on the homepage or ordinary tool pages.
Where this tool earns its place
Check whether the container, video codec, and audio codec match the intended playback environment.
What to check before relying on the result
- Metadata can be missing, approximate, or incorrect in a malformed source.
- A readable container does not guarantee that every frame decodes correctly.
Open a nearby browser tool when you need to validate, convert, or reuse the result.
How to use
01Use Cases
Check whether the container, video codec, and audio codec match the intended playback environment.
Inspect before converting, record the container and track codecs, then choose the smallest necessary operation.
Tips & Tricks
- 01Start with a short representative file
Confirm codec and browser support before committing device time to a long source.
- 02Keep the source
Every output is a new file. Retain the original until you have completed a full playback check.
FAQ
02Is my media uploaded to TOOLGRID?
No. The selected files are written into an in-browser worker file system. The self-hosted encoder assets are downloaded separately, but TOOLGRID does not receive the selected media for processing.
Why can a local media job be slow?
The compatibility encoder runs single-threaded in WebAssembly and is limited by device CPU, available memory, source duration, resolution, codecs, and browser behavior.
What should I verify in the result?
Check playback, duration, seeking, video and audio synchronization, expected tracks, visual quality, and actual file size in the browser or player used by your audience.
