How to check video compatibility

Inspect the container, video and audio codecs, tracks, and this browser's decoder support. The online video compatibility checker can help diagnose playback or upload problems without changing or uploading the file.

  1. Step 1

    Choose a video
    Pick the file that will not play or upload.
  2. Step 2

    Review the tracks
    Check its container, codecs, and decoder support.
  3. Step 3

    Choose a next step
    Open the suggested tool if the file needs a fix.

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.

Private by design

Your video stays on your device

Mastershot processes your file locally in this browser. It does not need to be uploaded to a server, and you do not need an account to use the tool.

Questions

Playback and upload rules are different. Size, container, and codec requirements are often stricter than browser playback.
