Get the Sources

You can retrieve the source code through Git by using the command:

git clone https://git.ffmpeg.org/ffmpeg.git ffmpeg

Cannot access Git or wish to speed up the cloning and reduce the bandwidth usage?

FFmpeg has always been a very experimental and developer-driven project. It is a key component in many multimedia projects and has new features added constantly. Development branch snapshots work really well 99% of the time so people are not afraid to use them.

Git Repositories

Since FFmpeg is developed with Git, multiple repositories from developers and groups of developers are available.

Release Verification

All FFmpeg releases are cryptographically signed with our public PGP key and should be verified for authenticity.

pub   rsa2048 2011-04-26 [SC]
    FCF986EA15E6E293A5644F10B4322F04D67658D8
uid           [  full  ] FFmpeg release signing key <ffmpeg-devel@ffmpeg.org>
sub   rsa2048 2011-04-26 [E]

To verify a release:

1. Import our public key into your local keyring:

   $ curl https://ffmpeg.org/ffmpeg-devel.asc | gpg --import

2. Download a release tarball and its corresponding signature.
3. Verify the signature:

   $ gpg --verify ffmpeg-4.3.2.tar.xz.asc ffmpeg-4.3.2.tar.xz
   gpg: Signature made Sun 21 Feb 2021 06:35:15 AEST

   gpg: Good signature from "FFmpeg release signing key <ffmpeg-devel@ffmpeg.org>" [full]

Releases

Approximately every 6 months the FFmpeg project makes a new major release. Between major releases point releases will appear that add important bug fixes but no new features. Note that these releases are intended for distributors and system integrators. Users that wish to compile from source themselves are strongly encouraged to consider using the development branch (see above), this is the only version on which FFmpeg developers actively work. The release branches only cherry pick selected changes from the development branch, which therefore receives much more and much faster bug fixes such as additional features and security patches.
