It might need to be updated, as "only works in Chrome" might not be correct, as in next sentence you use the link to "caniuse.com" where it says , Chrome & Opera & FF & Edge support it.

Try it: [https://ffmpegwasm.github.io](https://ffmpegwasm.github.io#demo)
|
|
|
|
|
|
## Installation
|
|
|
|
**Node**
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
$ npm install @ffmpeg/ffmpeg @ffmpeg/core
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
> As we are using the latest experimental features, you need to add few flags to run in Node.js
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
$ node --experimental-wasm-threads --experimental-wasm-bulk-memory transcode.js
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
**Browser**
|
|
|
|
Or, using a script tag in the browser (only works in some browsers, see list below):
|
|
|
|
```html
|
|
<script src="https://unpkg.com/@ffmpeg/ffmpeg@0.9.5/dist/ffmpeg.min.js"></script>
|
|
<script>
|
|
const { createFFmpeg } = FFmpeg;
|
|
...
|
|
</script>
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
> Only browsers with SharedArrayBuffer support can use ffmpeg.wasm, you can check [HERE](https://caniuse.com/sharedarraybuffer) for the complete list.
|
|
|
|
## Usage
|
|
|
|
ffmpeg.wasm provides simple to use APIs, to transcode a video you only need few lines of code:
|
|
|
|
```javascript
|
|
const fs = require('fs');
|
|
const { createFFmpeg, fetchFile } = require('@ffmpeg/ffmpeg');
|
|
|
|
const ffmpeg = createFFmpeg({ log: true });
|
|
|
|
(async () => {
|
|
await ffmpeg.load();
|
|
ffmpeg.FS('writeFile', 'test.avi', await fetchFile('./test.avi'));
|
|
await ffmpeg.run('-i', 'test.avi', 'test.mp4');
|
|
await fs.promises.writeFile('./test.mp4', ffmpeg.FS('readFile', 'test.mp4'));
|
|
process.exit(0);
|
|
})();
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Use other version of ffmpeg.wasm-core / @ffmpeg/core
|
|
|
|
For each version of ffmpeg.wasm, there is a default version of @ffmpeg/core (you can find it in **devDependencies** section of [package.json](https://github.com/ffmpegwasm/ffmpeg.wasm/blob/master/package.json)), but sometimes you may need to use newer version of @ffmpeg/core to use the latest/experimental features.
|
|
|
|
**Node**
|
|
|
|
Just install the specific version you need:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
$ npm install @ffmpeg/core@latest
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Or use your own version with customized path
|
|
|
|
```javascript
|
|
const ffmpeg = createFFmpeg({
|
|
corePath: '../../../src/ffmpeg-core.js',
|
|
});
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
**Browser**
|
|
|
|
```javascript
|
|
const ffmpeg = createFFmpeg({
|
|
corePath: 'https://unpkg.com/@ffmpeg/core@0.8.5/dist/ffmpeg-core.js',
|
|
});
|
|
```

## Multi-threading
|
|
|
|
Multi-threading need to be configured per external libraries, only following libraries supports it now:
|
|
|
|
### x264
|
|
|
|
Run it multi-threading mode by default, no need to pass any arguments.
|
|
|
|
### libvpx / webm
|
|
|
|
Need to pass `-row-mt 1`, but can only use one thread to help, can speed up around 30%

## FAQ
|
|
|
|
### What is the license of ffmpeg.wasm?
|
|
|
|
There are two components inside ffmpeg.wasm:
|
|
|
|
- @ffmpeg/ffmpeg (https://github.com/ffmpegwasm/ffmpeg.wasm)
|
|
- @ffmpeg/core (https://github.com/ffmpegwasm/ffmpeg.wasm-core)
|
|
|
|
@ffmpeg/core contains WebAssembly code which is transpiled from original FFmpeg C code with minor modifications, but overall it still following the same licenses as FFmpeg and its external libraries (as each external libraries might have its own license).
|
|
|
|
@ffmpeg/ffmpeg contains kind of a wrapper to handle the complexity of loading core and calling low-level APIs. It is a small code base and under MIT license.
|
|
|
|
### Can I use ffmpeg.wasm in Firefox?
|
|
|
|
Yes, but only for Firefox 79+ with proper header in both client and server, visit https://ffmpegwasm.et.r.appspot.com to try whether your Firefox works.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
For more details: https://github.com/ffmpegwasm/ffmpeg.wasm/issues/106
|
|
|
|
### What is the maximum size of input file?
|
|
|
|
2 GB, which is a hard limit in WebAssembly. Might become 4 GB in the future.
|
|
|
|
### How can I build my own ffmpeg.wasm?
|
|
|
|
In fact, it is ffmpeg.wasm-core most people would like to build.
|
|
|
|
To build on your own, you can check build.sh inside https://github.com/ffmpegwasm/ffmpeg.wasm-core repository.
