Pixel Brite

Coming June 2026

Your media, everywhere.

Your personal media library, on every screen you own. Pixel Brite streams your movies, shows, and music to Apple devices and any modern browser — Chrome, Firefox, Safari, and more. Stunning organization, effortless streaming, playback that just works.

Your media, beautifully organized.

Pixel Brite automatically fetches rich metadata, artwork, cast info, and ratings for every item in your library. Whether your files live on a local drive, a network share, or USB storage, everything looks like it belongs on a store shelf.

Automatic matching

Movies and shows are identified and matched the moment they hit your folders. Posters, backdrops, seasons, and cast info appear without lifting a finger.

Rich browsing

Filter by genre, rating, resolution, or watched status. Pin favorites. Pick up where you left off. Everything you expect from a modern library.

Your folders, your rules

Keep your existing folder structure. Pixel Brite scans what you already have and leaves your files exactly where they are.

Silky smooth. Every format. Every time.

Pixel Brite is built on a custom FFmpeg playback engine that handles the formats collectors actually have — without transcoding. Hardware-accelerated decoding via Apple VideoToolbox, NVIDIA NVENC, and Intel VAAPI means butter-smooth 4K HDR on any capable machine.

4K HDR

Dolby Vision (Profile 5 & 8), HDR10, HDR10+, and HLG. Tone mapping for SDR displays when needed.

Theater audio

Dolby Atmos, TrueHD, DTS-HD MA, and DTS:X. Direct passthrough to your receiver, or downmix for stereo.

Beautiful subtitles

ASS, SRT, PGS, VobSub, and more. Custom high-DPI rendering with clean fonts and smooth animation.

Every format

MKV, MP4, AVI, ISO, and 100+ more. If you have the file, Pixel Brite plays it. No conversion. No waiting.
