rav1e is an open-source implementation of an encoder for the AV1 video codec, developed in Rust (with some assembly) by the community around Xiph Foundation. Its design philosophy is to start from a correct, minimal, and fast AV1 encoder — sacrificing some encoding speed/efficiency of reference encoders in exchange for simplicity, stability, and compilability across platforms — and then gradually improve. This makes rav1e particularly attractive for scenarios where you need AV1 encoding but care about build-time, portability, and maintenance overhead, or where the full-featured reference encoder might be prohibitively slow. Despite aiming for simplicity, rav1e supports a wide range of AV1 features: different bit depths, chroma subsampling formats, prediction and transform modes, and block partitioning options, which means it can produce reasonably efficient compressed video.
