A JavaScript library that compiles FFmpeg to JavaScript via Emscripten, enabling video conversion and manipulation entirely in the web browser without server uploads. It was created for the Video Funhouse project at Node Knockout 2013 and is now unmaintained.
Use cases
- convert videos in the browser without uploading files
- apply ffmpeg filters to video client-side
- transcode video files to different formats in a web app
- process audio and video entirely client-side
- run ffmpeg commands from JavaScript
When to choose
- you need fully client-side video conversion with no server upload
- you want to apply ffmpeg filters in a browser app
- privacy matters and files must never leave the user's machine
When to avoid
- you need an actively maintained or performant solution
- large bundle size (24+ MB) is unacceptable
- you need broad codec support or modern browser performance
- you need long-term support or security updates
