Why view MOV metadata?

Checking MOV metadata helps you protect privacy, verify authenticity, and understand how the file was created.

Trust capture and timing

Check GPS, creation_time, rotation, and timecode in your MOV files before sharing.

Validate streams

Review codec, bitrate, resolution, FPS, and audio layout so your MOV meets delivery specs.

See source apps

Surface encoder/muxer tags and chapters to track edits or conversions on your MOV.

What MOV metadata can you view?

Here are the fields you can inspect before you share or archive the file. Use them to verify provenance, quality, and privacy.

  • GPS/location atoms, device IDs, and timecode fields
  • Video/audio codec, bitrate, resolution, and frame rate

  • Container-level tags unique to MOV/QuickTime files, including custom fields
  • Any embedded previews, thumbnails, or artwork found inside the MOV/QuickTime container

MOV/QuickTime metadata FAQs

What can I see in a MOV/QuickTime file?

We expose GPS/location atoms, device and timecode info, codec/bitrate/resolution/FPS, and track titles/languages—no transcoding of your MOV files.

Do you change or recompress my MOV/QuickTime file?

No. The viewer only reads metadata from your MOV/QuickTime file and shows it back—streams, pixels, and content stay untouched.

What if my MOV/QuickTime file has little or no metadata?

Some MOV/QuickTime files ship with minimal fields. We show everything present—if a tag is missing (like GPS or author), there simply isn't any data to display.

Can I verify attachments or previews in a MOV/QuickTime?

Yes. If the MOV/QuickTime contains embedded previews, cover art, fonts, or thumbnails, we surface those entries so you know what ships with the file.

Can I copy the MOV/QuickTime metadata for documentation?

You can copy the on-screen results to include in tickets, audits, or delivery notes without modifying the original MOV/QuickTime.
