About Lifewire

Who's behind the technology site you're reading?

Who We Are

Lifewire's mission is to help people get the most out of the technology that dominates all of our lives today. We provide context for the latest technology news, an extensive library of updated educational how-to articles, and independent product advice and reviews to more than 15 million users each month.

Our goal is to help consumers understand what is happening in the world of tech, figure out what products enhance their lives, and learn how to make it all work. We aim to be the trustworthy, friendly, and authoritative voice for people who use their tech every single day and expect it to work. When it doesn't, they want to search for an answer, get it working, and get on with their day. This is what we help them do.

We have more than 80 technology professionals—authors, educators, software developers, speakers, consultants, tech support agents, and more—all working together to create technology news, product advice, and how-to articles that you can trust.

Our growing library of more than 20,000 pieces of content, created and refined over the past 20 years, helps you understand what’s happening in the world of tech, figure out which products you need to be a part of it, and then learn how best to make it all work—without the pretentiousness and confusing jargon you’ll find on other sites. We call it Tech for Humans. Lifewire is a top-10 technology news and information site, according to Comscore, a leading Internet measurement company, and has been honored with multiple Communicator Awards.
