Setting the Standard for Embedded UI
Trusted by developers, chosen by chipmakers, and powering millions of devices worldwide, LVGL is becoming the driving force for embedded UI.
Almost a Decade in the Making
What started as a side project in 2016 has grown into the most widely adopted open-source UI framework for embedded systems. Unlike legacy solutions adapted from desktop frameworks, LVGL was designed for embedded from day one—lightweight, flexible, and efficient.
Today, LVGL powers millions of devices worldwide, becoming the preferred choice for embedded UI in IoT, medical devices, automotive, and smart wearables. As embedded UI development shifts away from bloated, legacy frameworks, LVGL is emerging as the new standard—lean, efficient, and built for the future.
Core Values
Lightness
We keep things light—both in code and in spirit. A bloated codebase slows development, just as a heavy mindset weighs down creativity and well-being.
Progress
We share ideas early to gather feedback and refine our approach. Iteration, learning, and small consistent steps lead to big achievements.
Openness
We work in the open. Discussing ideas and asking questions openly helps everyone get on the same page and learn from each other.
Trust
We trust that everyone acts with the best intentions, makes thoughtful decisions, and supports our mutual vision.
The Company Behind LVGL
LVGL LLC is the company that shepherds the development of the LVGL open-source library while also providing commercial tools, services, and support for businesses that rely on it.
Unlike many open-source projects that get tangled in corporate interests, we consider the LVGL library untouchable—it will always remain open-source, community-driven, and free to use. We are actively working on legal guarantees to ensure LVGL stays independent and accessible to everyone, now and in the future.
To support this mission, LVGL LLC develops professional tools like the LVGL UI Editor, designed to make embedded GUI development faster and easier. These tools are closed-source and licensed commercially, helping sustain and improve the open-source project. By balancing open-source dedication with commercial sustainability, LVGL LLC helps companies build high-quality embedded UIs while ensuring that the core LVGL project remains strong, independent, and community-driven.
