Video metadata viewer
100% localDrop a video to read what is written inside the file itself: the phone or camera that recorded it, the GPS location, the capture date, the app that edited or exported it, and platform markers such as TikTok's. The file is read locally - it never leaves your device.
About this tool
Every video file carries a header next to the picture and sound. Phones write their make, model, OS version, capture date and often the GPS position there; editing apps and encoders sign it with their name; some platforms add their own markers. This page parses MP4 / MOV (QuickTime, iPhone, Android, GoPro, 3GPP, XMP) and WebM / MKV headers directly in your browser - 100% local, no upload, no signup.
Why it matters for finding a source: an original camera file still has its device, date and location. A copy that went through TikTok, Instagram, a downloader or a re-encode usually loses them and gets an encoder tag instead (often Lavf, FFmpeg). So the metadata tells you whether you are holding the original or a re-shared copy.
Metadata can be edited or stripped, so treat it as a strong clue rather than proof. Dates in the container header are written when the file is created, which can be the export date rather than the shooting date.
