x265 Licensees

x265 development is led by MulticoreWare. MulticoreWare brings a deep knowledge of video codec design and high-performance computing to the x265 project.

Charter Licensees

Along with MulticoreWare, there were four initial project sponsors who kick-started development of x265. One has chosen to remain anonymous. We work very closely with all x265 Licensees, but we are particularly grateful for the strong support and sponsorship we received from our Charter Licensees, from the start of the x265 project in early 2013 through today. Without these visionary video system developers, x265 might not exist.

Charter Licensee #4

A leading, multi-billion dollar semiconductor company invested in the development of x265.

Commercial Adopters

Some of the leading movie streaming services and semiconductor companies have invested in the development of x265. We see excellent adoption and support from all sectors of the movie, broadcast, and web video industry. As these companies utilize x265 in their own operations (not distributing x265), and therefore they are able to adopt x265 under the GPL v2 license, they recognize the advantages of working closely with the x265 development team at MulticoreWare under Support Agreements, and they often fund development of new capabilities under Statements of Work.

Commercial Licensees

As x265 has proven to be the best available HEVC encoding library for a wide range of applications, many companies have adopted x265 for their products and services. x265 is used by a very large share of commercial video solution providers, from live video encoder developers to OTT video streaming solution developers and video management system providers. Many of our licensees prefer to remain anonymous. Others are proud to announce that they use the best HEVC encoder, x265.
