An npm package that ships static ffmpeg and ffprobe binaries for macOS, Linux, and Windows. It lets Node.js projects depend on a ready-to-use ffmpeg binary without requiring users to install ffmpeg themselves.
Use cases
- get an ffmpeg binary in a node project without installing ffmpeg
- convert videos programmatically in nodejs
- extract audio from video files in an app
- bundle ffmpeg with a desktop application
- run ffprobe to inspect media metadata
- process video uploads on a server
When to choose
- your node.js app needs ffmpeg and you want zero manual installation for users
- you need cross-platform binaries for mac, linux, and windows
- you want a pinned, known-good ffmpeg version via npm
When to avoid
- you need a custom ffmpeg build with specific codecs enabled
- you are not using node.js or npm
- you need the latest ffmpeg features before the package updates its binaries
