What is Bink Video?

Bink 2 is massively better than Bink 1. You'll be shocked at how low you can drop the data rate while maintaining beautiful quality.

And even cooler, Bink 2 can be much faster than Bink 1, due to its multi-core scaling and SIMD design (up to 70% of the instructions executed on a frame are SIMD). It is really fast - it can play 4K video frames (3840x2160) in 4 ms PCs and 11 ms PS4/Xbox One using the CPU only (or 1.4 ms PC and 2.3 ms PS4/Xbox using GPU acceleration)!

Bink 2 is available for Windows (all versions - desktop, Store, UWP), MacOS, Linux, Sony PS5, Sony PS4, Sony PS3, Sony PSVita, Xbox One Series X, Xbox One, Xbox 360, Nintendo Switch, Wii WiiU, Android and iOS.

Bink is essentially the defacto video codec for games. It has been licensed for over 15,000 games on 14 different platforms!

Most game developers are shocked to find that they can get Bink videos playing in less than an hour - including tricky stuff like pixel shaders. Bink feels like a codec that you wrote custom for your game - it just works like you would expect it to.
