FFmpegKit is a collection of tools for using FFmpeg in Android, iOS, Linux, macOS, tvOS, Flutter, and React Native applications, including build scripts, a wrapper library to run FFmpeg/FFprobe commands, and prebuilt binary packages. The project has been officially retired; its actively maintained continuation is FFmpegKitNext.
Use cases
- run ffmpeg commands in an android app
- convert video files inside an ios application
- transcode audio in a flutter app
- extract metadata from media files with ffprobe on react native
- build ffmpeg native libraries for mobile platforms
When to choose
- you need to run FFmpeg or FFprobe commands in a mobile or cross-platform application
- you want prebuilt FFmpeg binaries for Android, iOS, macOS, tvOS, or Linux
- you need a wrapper library instead of shelling out to the ffmpeg CLI
When to avoid
- you need active maintenance and support for the latest FFmpeg releases - use FFmpegKitNext instead
- you only target desktop platforms where running the ffmpeg binary directly is feasible
- you need GPL-licensed features without accepting GPL v3.0 terms
