Where to get HandBrake

HandBrake releases and nightly builds

Official HandBrake releases and nightly builds are available for Linux, OS X, and Windows.

Ubuntu Linux users should install the official release PPA or the official snapshots PPA. The PPA may work, but is not tested, on other Debian-compatible distributions. Users of other BSD- and *nix-like distributions may compile from source.

HandBrake source code is available at the official HandBrake repository on GitHub.

Other versions obtained via third parties are not supported.

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.

Broken third-party packages/builds include but are not limited to:

  • Ubuntu Universe: handbrake, handbrake-cli, handbrake-dbg
  • Debian Multimedia: handbrake, handbrake-cli, handbrake-gtk

Please do not request support for these or any other unofficial versions. The HandBrake Team has zero control over them and therefore cannot provide meaningful support.

Linux users should install the official release PPA, install the official snapshots PPA, or compile from the official source code.
