MediaPeek
MediaPeek inspects media metadata from a URL and describes a partial-fetching method that reads only the bytes needed.
About MediaPeek
MediaPeek is a web tool that inspects media metadata from a URL. It reads only the bytes it needs from the file, so large files do not have to be fully downloaded. The homepage says it can also look inside ZIP and TAR archives without extracting them and keeps the archive name visible in the results. Metadata analysis uses mediainfo.js, a WebAssembly build of MediaInfoLib.
Results can be exported as Object, JSON, Text, HTML, or XML. Results can also be shared through links encrypted with PrivateBin. The site states that MediaPeek does not store the shared content and that the decryption key is kept in the URL. Supported input is limited to HTTP and HTTPS URLs and to public Google Drive files and folders, and archive support covers only the ZIP and TAR variants listed on the homepage.
