Are files uploaded for this tool?

This browser tool processes the selected media locally on this device. The file is not uploaded to ArtPlayer servers for this workflow.

Will the export have a watermark?

No. ArtPlayer browser tools do not add watermarks to exported files.

Why can processing take time?

The work runs in your browser, so speed depends on your device, browser, memory, source size, and the export settings needed for the result.

Which browsers work best?

Recent Chrome, Edge, and other modern Chromium browsers usually work best for heavier browser media processing.

What should I try if a large file fails?

Try a smaller source, close other heavy tabs, reduce resolution or duration first, and keep the tab open until the export finishes.

Does metadata extraction modify the file?

No. The tool only reads container, track, codec, and timing information from the selected media.

Can it inspect remote media?

It can inspect CORS-accessible media URLs when the remote server allows browser reads.

Can I inspect codec, duration, and track details?

Yes. The page reads media metadata locally or from a CORS-accessible source.

Does metadata extraction change the file?

No. It only reads information and does not modify the selected media.

Everything you need

Core details about privacy, browser support, output, and practical limits before you start.

Low-read inspection

Reads only enough of the source to identify container, tracks, codecs, and timing details.

Track-by-track output

See video dimensions, rotation, color space, or audio channel and sample-rate details for each track.

Visible read cost

The page reports how many bytes were read so we can compare quick metadata probes against heavier scans.
