WebCodecs Codec Support Dataset This dataset contains real world audio and video codec support data from over 1,142,586 real user sessions at free.upscaler.video using the WebCodecs API to detect both encoding and decoding support for over 1000+ codec variants across the following audio and video codecs: Video: h264 h265 vp8 vp9 av1 Audio: aac pcm opus vorbis mp3 flac The data is compiled and summarized on the project website ,webcodecsfundamentals.org, which provides a global overview of real world support for codecs like AV1 or h265, across operating systems and browsers. This dataset contains the underlying data used, with 363 million codec compatability tests from unique 1.14 million user sessions. CSV SCHEMA timestamp - ISO 8601 timestamp of when test was performeduser_agent - Full browser user agent stringbrowser - Browser family (Chrome, Safari, Edge, Firefox, Unknown)platform_raw - Raw platform identifier from navigator.platformplatform - Normalized platform (Windows, macOS, iOS, Android, Linux)codec - WebCodecs codec string tested (e.g., "av01.0.01M.08")encoder_supported - Whether VideoEncoder supports codec (true/false)decoder_supported - Whether VideoDecoder supports codec (true/false/empty) EXAMPLE ROWS2026-01-05T00:54:11.570Z,"Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64) AppleWebKit/537.36...",Edge,Win32,Windows,av01.0.01M.08,true,2026-01-16T23:58:08.560Z,"Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64) AppleWebKit/537.36...",Chrome,Win32,Windows,avc1.64040c,false,true Note: decoder_supported is empty for sessions before Jan 14, 2026.
