Open KDENLIVE files in your browser
The project Kdenlive, KDE’s free video editor, saves. See its timeline right here, with its titles and guides and every file it needs, on any computer or phone. Nothing leaves your device.
Or drop it anywhere on this page
What you'll see
Your project opens as its timeline: the tracks down the left, and their clips along it with the pictures and waves of the media dropped with it, under its markers.
- Every track and clip • Zoom from the whole edit to a frame
- Media • A tab of every file it uses, missing ones marked
- Titles and transitions • Their words and lengths on the clips
- Export • Save the clips and the media list as CSV
About KDENLIVE
A .kdenlive file is MLT’s XML, the framework Kdenlive plays through: producers for every video, picture, song, color and title clip with their paths, each track as a pair of playlists of clips and gaps, and the sequence that stacks them, with Kdenlive’s own properties for track names, guides and its bin. Since Kdenlive 23.04 a project can hold several sequences.
Filepeek opens it as Kdenlive shows it: the video tracks from the top one down and the audio tracks under them, each clip by its bin name, title clips with their words, and the guides along the top. Drop the project with its media and each clip shows its pictures and waves.
Paths are relative to the project’s folder, so keep the media where it was beside it, or drop it all together.

Questions
How do I open a KDENLIVE file?
Drop it on this page or press Peek a KDENLIVE. It opens as its timeline in your browser, on Windows, a Mac, an iPhone or Android, with nothing to install.
Why do my clips show their names instead of pictures?
A project only keeps its media’s paths. Drop it with its media, or the folder they’re in, and each clip finds its file.
Why does Kdenlive say clips are missing?
The files moved since the project was saved. Kdenlive asks for each one, and the Media tab here lists their paths so you know what to look for.
Can Shotcut open a Kdenlive project?
Not reliably. Both save MLT XML, but each adds its own properties, so open it in Kdenlive, or see it here.
What are the guides?
Kdenlive’s markers on the timeline. They show along the top with their names.
