VideoForge is a fast, fully offline video toolkit for Windows — 24 tools in one clean desktop app. No terminal, no cloud upload, no subscription. Your video files never leave your machine. Built for YouTubers, content creators, social media managers, educators and remote workers who need to process video quickly without wrestling with HandBrake's complexity, paying for a full editor, or uploading large files to online tools that throttle, watermark or queue you. EVERY TOOL IS OPEN FROM THE FIRST LAUNCH There is no locked section in VideoForge. Every one of the 24 tools works the moment you install it. Premium removes the free tier's length and volume limits — it does not unlock hidden buttons. CONVERT & COMPRESS Compress with a quality slider and a live size estimate, or hit an exact file size. Convert between MP4, MOV, MKV, AVI, WebM and FLV. Rescale to any resolution with control over fit and scaling quality. Export in one click for WhatsApp, YouTube 1080p and 4K, Reels, TikTok, Instagram, X or email — each preset already knows the right size, frame rate and bitrate. Export to ProRes or DNxHR when you need to hand footage to Premiere, Final Cut, Resolve or Avid. EDIT Trim losslessly in an instant, or frame-accurately with a re-encode. Crop to any ratio, straighten a sideways phone clip, or mirror it. Adjust colour, apply .cube LUTs, upscale, sharpen, reverse and level audio loudness — all in one pass, with a live before-and-after preview on a real frame from your video. Stabilise shaky handheld footage. Key out a green or blue screen and drop in a colour or an image. Find the dead air in a recording and cut it out. Split one clip into several, join several into one, change speed without distorting pitch, overlay a text or logo watermark, and burn subtitles permanently into the picture. EXTRACT Turn any part of a clip into an optimised animated GIF. Pull the soundtrack out as MP3, WAV, AAC or FLAC. Strip the audio. Grab a single frame as JPG or PNG, or export a whole sequence of stills. BATCH & UNATTENDED Run one setting across a queue of files. Or point the watch folder at a directory and walk away — anything dropped in is processed automatically, overnight if you like. FASTER, SMALLER FILES Encode on your graphics card with NVIDIA NVENC, Intel Quick Sync or AMD AMF and the same job finishes several times faster. Output H.265 or AV1 for roughly half the file size at the same quality, and 10-bit colour so skies, sunsets and slow fades stop banding. WHAT'S FREE, AND WHAT PREMIUM CHANGES Compress, trim, convert, crop, rotate, extract audio, mute, thumbnails, colour adjustment, presets and history are unlimited, forever. Everything else is free up to a minute of output, two files per batch, or twenty frames — enough to run any tool on your own footage and see exactly what it produces. A one-time Premium licence removes every one of those ceilings. VideoForge downloads its FFmpeg video engine (about 168 MB) once on first launch, then works entirely offline. Free to download and use forever. Premium is a one-time purchase valid on two machines, with no recurring fee.
