Synchronized Multimedia Integration Language (SMIL (/ˈsmaɪl/)) is a World Wide Web Consortium recommended Extensible Markup Language (XML) markup language to describe multimedia presentations. It defines markup for timing, layout, animations, visual transitions, and media embedding, among other things. SMIL allows presenting media items such as text, images, video, audio, links to other SMIL presentations, and files from multiple web servers. SMIL markup is written in XML, and has similarities to HTML.

A SMIL document is similar in structure to an HTML document in that they are typically divided between an optional
<head>section and a required<body>section. The<head>section contains layout and metadata information. The<body>section contains the timing information, and is generally composed of combinations of three main tags - sequential ("<seq>", simple playlists), parallel ("<par>", multi-zone/multi-layer playback) and exclusive ("<excl>", event-triggered interrupts). SMIL refers to media objects by URLs, allowing them to be shared between presentations and stored on different servers for load balancing. The language can also associate different media objects with different bandwidth requirements. -
SMIL files take either a
.smior.smilfile extension. However, SAMI files and Macintosh self mounting images also use.smi, which creates some ambiguity at first glance. As a result, SMIL files commonly use the.smilfile extension to avoid confusion.
