Please be aware that this is the *only* official download source for HandBrake. If you download from any other website, we highly recommend you check the download checksums against those published on our website: [Checksum List](https://handbrake.fr/checksums.php). This will ensure you get an official copy of HandBrake and not one that may contain unwanted extras.

## Installing on Windows
|
||||
|
||||
#### Windows SmartScreen
|
||||
Once you've downloaded the HandBrake installer, simply double click to run it.
|
||||
|
||||
If you are running Windows 8 or 10 and have Windows Smart Screen turned on, you may receive the following message.
|
||||
If HandBrake is already installed on your computer, the installer wizard will offer to remove the old version before installing the current version. Select `OK` to proceed and review HandBrake's license terms.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
If you press "More Info", you'll be presented with the following dialog.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Next, the installer wizard will ask you where you wish to install HandBrake. Unless you have a specific reason to change this, select `Install` to continue. Once the installation is complete, you may select `Finish` to exit the installer wizard.
|
||||
|
||||
HandBrake is not "signed" application, so Microsoft does not know about us.
|
||||
If you click "Run Anyway", our installer will launch.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
#### The Installation Wizard
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Once you've downloaded the HandBrake Installer, simply double click to run it.
|
||||
You will find shortcuts for launching HandBrake placed on both the Windows Desktop and Start Menu.
|
||||
|
||||
If you already have HandBrake installed, you'll be offered a choice to remove the old one before continuing. Press "OK" and follow the wizard.
|
||||
### Windows SmartScreen
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
When installing on Windows 8 or 10 with Windows SmartScreen enabled, you may see a message indicating that the HandBrake installer is not recognized by Windows.
|
||||
|
||||
Otherwise, you'll be presented with a wizard that walks you through the process.
|
||||
You'll be asked to agree to our license terms.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
HandBrake is not "signed" by Microsoft. This message doesn't mean anything is wrong; rather, it indicates that HandBrake is not part of Microsoft's paid program to validate Windows applications.
|
||||
|
||||
Next, you'll get to choose where you wish to Install HandBrake to. The default is fine for most.
|
||||
By selecting `More info`, you will be able to select `Run anyway` to continue the installation.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Finally, Press "Finish". You'll find a shortcut on your Desktop and Start menu which you can use to start the applicaiton.

## Warning about third-party download sites
|
||||
|
||||
We encourage you to obtain HandBrake from the official website. When downloading from any other website, we highly recommend you ensure you have received an official copy of HandBrake by verifying the downloaded files match the [official release checksums](https://handbrake.fr/checksums.php) as published on the HandBrake website. Downloaded files with different checksums may contain unwanted extras or malware.

|

## Warning about broken third-party builds
|
||||
|
||||
Certain Linux distributions and package repositories create their own versions of HandBrake. These modified versions are often crippled (features removed for political reasons) and broken (bugs due to modifications), and should be avoided.
