About the Refresh Rate Test
Bought a 144 Hz or 165 Hz monitor? It's common for it to run at 60 Hz because of the cable, the port or a Windows setting. This test measures how often the browser can redraw, which matches your display's current refresh rate.
If it shows 60 Hz on a high-refresh monitor, set the rate in Settings › System › Display › Advanced display, and use DisplayPort or an HDMI 2.0+ cable.

Frequently asked questions
Why does it say 30 Hz?
Battery saver modes and some laptops limit background or power-saving refresh. Plug in and try again.
Is the Refresh Rate Test free?
Yes. The Refresh Rate Test is completely free with no sign-up, no watermarks, no daily limits and no premium tier.
Are my files uploaded to a server?
No. FileStripe processes your files locally in your web browser using JavaScript. Nothing is uploaded, so the Refresh Rate Test is safe for private photos and confidential documents and even works offline once the page has loaded.
Does it work on iPhone and Android?
Yes. The Refresh Rate Test works in Safari, Chrome, Firefox, Edge and Samsung Internet on phones, tablets and computers. On a phone you can pick files from your photo library or files app and share the result straight to another app.
