Mediapeek
MediaPeek reads technical metadata from video, audio, image, and subtitle files in the browser, fetching only needed bytes from URLs.
About Mediapeek
MediaPeek provides detailed technical metadata for video, audio, image, and subtitle files directly in the browser. Instead of downloading a full asset first, it performs range-based analysis, fetching only the data segments that MediaInfo needs from a remote file. Analysis is powered by mediainfo.js, a WebAssembly port of MediaInfoLib.
Key features
- Reads only needed byte ranges of a remote file instead of the whole asset
- Opens supported media inside .zip and .tar archives, keeping both filenames visible
- Works with direct HTTP/HTTPS media URLs and supported public sources like Google Drive
- Exports metadata as Object, JSON, Text, HTML, or XML
- Shares reports through end-to-end encrypted PrivateBin links
- Blocks local and private network targets to reduce SSRF risk
Best for: People who need technical metadata from local or remote media files, including files inside archives, without downloading entire assets.
Good for
- Open source under the GNU GPLv3 license, with documentation for the analyzer API and configuration
- Range-based fetching avoids downloading the full file before analysis
- Fetch pipeline blocks local and private network targets to reduce SSRF risk
Watch out for
- When an archived media file's inner size cannot be verified from archive metadata, the UI marks size and bitrate results as archive-estimated
- Webpage links generally require opening the page first and copying the media file URL rather than being used as-is
