Why use Mux?

Scales automatically

Our Video API was built to scale. You’ll never have to worry about spikes in usage or spinning up additional servers. Plus, there are no caps on the size or number of video files you can run through us.

reach-every-icon

Reach every viewer

Mux uses Adaptive Bitrate (ABR) streaming with HLS, which allows a video player to automatically choose the right video size for a viewer's device and connection speed. Our per-title and audience adaptive encoding delivers an experience that’s measurably better than ABR alone.

Throw any file at us

We can ingest almost every available codec including those for broadcast and professional applications like H.264, H.265, VP9, and Apple ProRes.

From our customers

“Mux has designed an extremely elegant interface that allows us to manage our streaming as well as diagnose issues on an individual account basis. With their help, we were able to move our streaming off of YouTube. I highly recommend working with Mux!”

Shiv Gaglani Co-founder & CEO

“Using the API is accelerating our development by a lot. The API is simple, and we know that the Mux team has incredibly deep experience with transcoding pipelines and streaming optimization, so we don't have to worry about any of that.”
