Download summary

FFmpeg is a video app for Windows/macOS/Linux, published by FFmpeg project. A direct package URL is recorded below. The host may be the publisher, a release repository, a CDN, or another distribution source documented by the publisher. Some packages still fetch optional components during setup. Recorded package files cover Windows and Linux; for macOS, use the publisher's download page linked below. The recorded publisher site is ffmpeg.org. We do not host or modify installer files.

Sources and identity

External references used to identify the product and publisher. These links do not prove that we installed the package.

These references support the package and behavior notes. Documentation checks are separate from the recorded URL-check date and do not represent an installation test.

Choose a package

Select the binary provider and component set

Use the Windows essentials ZIP when its listed libraries meet the job. Gyan’s provider page explains the extra libraries in full builds and links the GitHub mirror used here.

The upstream version number alone does not identify a binary’s included codecs, licence or supported hardware. Preserve the provider, filename and configuration with the deployment record.

Keep source and macOS binaries separate

Use the upstream archive only for a planned build with the necessary toolchain. For Evermeet, review the Intel package and detached-signature instructions on the linked provider page.

Evermeet’s build is not a native Apple-silicon package. A source archive also does not provide ready-made Linux executables; use a distribution package when that is the intended workflow.

Package guidance is based on the linked documentation, checked 11 September 2026. No installation test is claimed.

Compare only with the exact named package. A matching hash alone does not establish publisher identity or package safety.

Verification scope

A direct package URL is recorded above. We have not independently installed every listed build or confirmed that setup remains fully offline.

We do not host software files. Links may resolve to a publisher domain, its release repository, app store, CDN, or a documented distribution host — confirm the final hostname, publisher signature, version, and architecture before deployment. Recorded URLs last checked 11 September 2026; content last updated 11 September 2026.

What FFmpeg does

FFmpeg 9.0.1 is the recorded upstream source release. FFmpeg.org provides source and signatures, and links independent Windows and macOS binary distributors. The Windows row uses Gyan Doshi's fixed 9.0.1 essentials ZIP from that provider's GitHub mirror; it is not compiled by FFmpeg.org. Gyan describes these Windows builds as 64-bit, requiring Windows 10 or later and licensed under GPLv3.

The source TAR.XZ requires a compiler and development dependencies; it is not an installed Linux application. The linked Evermeet macOS page and its metadata now identify a 9.0.1 release, checked on 11 September 2026. That provider supplies Intel binaries, states macOS 10.13 or newer, and does not supply native Apple-silicon builds. Its landing page remains the recorded macOS route so that users can review the architecture, current package and signature instructions together.

Before choosing a binary, compare the encoders, filters and protocols your workflow actually needs. Gyan's essentials package includes ffmpeg, ffprobe and ffplay with common libraries; its full build adds others. A larger build is useful only when a needed component is absent. Inspect the exact binary's version and build configuration on an authorized test machine before relying on a particular hardware encoder or format profile.

Upstream licensing starts at LGPL 2.1-or-later, with GPL components changing the applicable licence. Use the licence supplied with the selected binary when assessing redistribution. The displayed Windows SHA-256 is a provider-repository metadata reference, not a local hash calculation. No executable, signature, codec, hardware or build-configuration test was performed here.

Installation notes

Grouped by the package types recorded on this page — not a claim that every listed build was independently tested on every supported platform.

Windows Windows archive (ZIP/7Z)

1
Extract the recorded file (ffmpeg-9.0.1-essentials_build.zip) into a separate folder and check the publisher's instructions for the executable or setup program inside. ZIP/7Z describes compression, not installation behavior.
2
A no-installer build may still store settings, credentials, caches, or Registry entries outside that folder. Check FFmpeg's configuration and removal instructions before moving or deleting it.

Linux Source code archive (build required)

1
This archive contains source code, not a ready-to-run program — do not expect an installer inside.
2
Building it requires the project's compiler toolchain and development dependencies; follow the publisher's own build documentation.
3
If you do not intend to compile, use your distribution's package or one of the prebuilt options listed above instead.

No direct package URL is recorded on this page for macOS — for that platform, choose the build on the publisher's download page linked in the table above.
