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
