Video fingerprinting

Learn more about the advanced technology that enables fast, accurate, and scalable video recognition

Video fingerprinting explained

WebKyte Video Fingerprint is a compact representation of a video that contains a digital description of selected frames. It’s a small file created from a video, where each fingerprint is unique to the original video.

Creating a video fingerprint

Generation of video fingerprints is conducted during a multi-step process that includes the detection and extraction of key video frames and encoding of their visual features to the binary representation. It’s a completely secure process that can be done without sharing original video files.


Video fingerprints are irreversible to the original files and cannot be identified without metadata.


When matched with other fingerprints, it enables rapid identification of copies of the video or copies of its separate parts.
