What to expect
- Supported inputs
- Any readable video file. Nothing is converted until you open another tool.
- What happens
- The checker inspects the container, tracks, codecs, and whether this browser can decode them. Decoder support is local, not a guarantee of playback on every device.
- Limits
- This is not an upload-acceptance test for a specific app. Destination rules can vary by account and version.
Your files stay on your device
Your computer does the work, so the file never has to be uploaded, and that’s also why it’s free: there’s no server time for us to pay for. You don’t need an account, and nothing you make gets a watermark.
