How to use

  1. Drag a file in, or click the dropzone to choose one.
  2. Click Analyze. We read the metadata only — no full decode, so the result returns in a few seconds.
  3. Copy the result if you need to share it.

What this checks

We report the audio stream's bitrate in kbps and judge it against the codec it was encoded with — a 128 kbps AAC file is roughly the perceptual equal of a 192 kbps MP3, and Opus reaches that quality near 96 kbps. Lossless formats (FLAC, ALAC, PCM) always pass.

Codec, sample rate, and channel layout are shown for context. Stream metadata only — no audio is decoded.
