UniFab, a global provider of AI-powered video and audio enhancement tools, announced today that its desktop transcoding tool, UniFab Video Converter, is now permanently free for all users. The tool, which supports more than 1,000 video and audio formats, was previously available as a paid product at $89.99 for a lifetime license or $59.99 per year. Now, it is offered at no cost for both personal and commercial use.
UniFab Video Converter supports a wide range of containers, including MP4, MKV, AVI, MOV, and WebM, as well as audio outputs such as MP3, AAC, FLAC, and Opus. Output scales to 8K UHD, with presets for phones, tablets, TVs, and social platforms. The free release lifts all restrictions that were previously tied to the paid edition. Users will encounter no watermark, time limit, or file size cap on any output. Commercial use is permitted at no cost, and the tool supports multi-track audio passthrough up to 7.1 surround sound. Subtitle preservation is available via burn-in, soft-mux, or external SRT files.
The converter includes a six-tool editor featuring Crop, Effect, Watermark, Subtitles, Audio, and Speed options. Users can trim videos, adjust aspect ratios (16:9, 4:3, 1:1, 9:16), overlay watermarks, and adjust speed from 0.25x to 4x. A settings panel exposes codec choice (H.264, H.265, H.264 10-bit), frame rate, resolution, bit rate, and channel layout, with three quality presets and 1-pass / 2-pass / CRF control. Lossless MKV-to-MP4 remux and GIF-to-video conversion are also supported.
Hardware acceleration is a key feature, utilizing NVIDIA CUDA, Intel Quick Sync, and AMD VCE for encoding. When no compatible GPU is detected, the tool falls back to software encoding. Users can drag a full folder of source files and apply one output preset across every clip, boasting a 99.99% conversion success rate.
This free release reflects UniFab's effort to broaden access to professional media tools. The company's AI-driven video enhancer suite remains on a separate 30-day trial. UniFab Video Converter is available on Windows and macOS.
