In 1995, RealNetworks pioneered the entire Internet media industry, and continues to fuel its exponential growth.

Because the Internet was built to handle text-based information, not audio and video and other rich media, RealNetworks foresaw the need for specific solutions that could handle the creation, delivery and consumption of media via the Internet. That led RealNetworks to invent and release the RealPlayer and RealAudio in 1995.

Today, hundreds of millions of unique individuals throughout the world take advantage of RealNetworks world-class media creation, delivery and playback technology.
