GenArts, Inc. was a Cambridge, Massachusetts developer of visual effects software for the film, broadcast, and advertising industries, best known for its flagship Sapphire plug-in suite used in Oscar-nominated visual effects work since 1996. GenArts was acquired by Boris FX in September 2016; the genarts.com domain now redirects to borisfx.com and the Sapphire product line is developed and sold under the Boris FX brand. The company published no public developer API, SDK, or documented programmatic surface — its products are desktop editing plug-ins. This profile is retained in the API Evangelist network as an acquired-company lead.
