GPAC releases don’t follow a fixed schedule! We maintain a solid CI/CD system to keep everything reliable. Even-numbered versions are stable releases, while odd-numbered versions are development builds, see blog post for details.

At the bottom of this page you can find installers for the current stable release of GPAC (including MP4Box) and the GPAC source code.

The current GPAC release is 2.4, released on 2024-04-17.

However, we recommend using the Nightly Builds (below) to get the most up-to-date version of GPAC.

Nightly builds

GPAC is built according to continuous development concepts. It means that each installer has been tested automatically and should be considered safe for most users who need the latest features. If you encounter any issue, please report on github.

Permalinks

These links always point to the latest built of the master branch of gpac and can be used in scripts as permalinks.

• gpac_latest_head_win64.exe
• gpac_latest_head_win32.exe

• gpac_latest_head_linux64.deb
• gpac_latest_head_linux32.deb

Linux APT Repository

Supported distributions

GPAC packages are built and distributed for the following Linux distributions:

• Ubuntu
  • jammy (22.04 LTS) — supported until April 2027
  • noble (24.04 LTS) — supported until April 2029
• Debian
  • bullseye (11) — supported until August 2026
  • bookworm (12) — supported until June 2028

In addition to stable releases, we publish nightly builds for the two most recent Ubuntu and Debian distributions.

Installing GPAC via APT

Before installing GPAC, you must configure the official GPAC APT repository. Once configured, you can install and update GPAC using standard APT commands.

Add the GPAC GPG signing key

sudo apt update
sudo apt install -y ca-certificates curl
sudo install -m 0755 -d /etc/apt/keyrings
sudo curl -fsSL https://dist.gpac.io/gpac/linux/gpg.asc -o /etc/apt/keyrings/gpac.asc
sudo chmod a+r /etc/apt/keyrings/gpac.asc

Add the GPAC APT repository

The following command automatically selects the correct distribution codename (for example, jammy, noble, bullseye, or bookworm).

sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/gpac.sources <<EOF
Types: deb
URIs: https://dist.gpac.io/gpac/linux/ubuntu
Suites: $(. /etc/os-release && echo "${UBUNTU_CODENAME:-$VERSION_CODENAME}")
Components: nightly
Signed-By: /etc/apt/keyrings/gpac.asc
EOF

Note: Update URIs to match your distro. You may also use main for your Components field to get the stable releases.

Then refresh the package index:

sudo apt update

Install GPAC packages

Depending on your needs, you can install:

• gpac — runtime binaries and tools
• libgpac-dev — development headers and libraries

To install both:

sudo apt install gpac libgpac-dev

GPAC will now be installed and kept up to date through the APT repository.

WebAssembly

GPAC is available as WebAssembly (WASM) artifacts for browser and JavaScript runtimes. Builds are published as static .js loaders, which automatically fetch their corresponding .wasm binaries.

Available variants

• full (threaded)
  Full feature set with WebAssembly threads enabled (SharedArrayBuffer required).
  Loader: gpac.js
• full (single-threaded)
  Full feature set without threading.
  Loader: gpac.st.js
• lite (single-threaded)
  Reduced build, primarily for ISO BMFF / MP4 workflows.
  Loader: gpac.lite.js

Latest nightly (direct links)

Use these links to always fetch the most recent nightly build:

• full (threaded): https://dist.gpac.io/gpac/wasm/gpac.js
• full (single-threaded): https://dist.gpac.io/gpac/wasm/gpac.st.js
• lite: https://dist.gpac.io/gpac/wasm/gpac.lite.js

No installation is required—include the selected loader in your application; it will automatically download the matching .wasm file.
