A detailed guide for enabling hardware HEVC decoding and encoding in Chrome and Edge, or for building custom Chromium/Electron builds with HEVC support. It documents supported HEVC profiles across GPUs and platforms.
Use cases
- enable HEVC hardware decoding in Chrome or Edge
- build a custom Chromium with HEVC support
- add HEVC playback to an Electron app
- check which HEVC profiles my GPU supports
- enable hardware HEVC encoding in the browser
- play 10-bit HEVC video in Chromium
When to choose
- you need HEVC playback or encoding in Chromium-based browsers or Electron
- you want a custom Chromium build with software and hardware HEVC support
- you need a compatibility reference for HEVC profiles across GPUs
When to avoid
- you use Firefox or Safari, which are not covered
- you need a ready-made software library rather than a guide
- you need codecs other than HEVC
