FAQs
Is Shutter Encoder really free?
Yes. It is free and open source under the GPL license, and the developer accepts voluntary donations from people who find it useful.
Do I need FFmpeg installed separately?
No. Shutter Encoder bundles the tools it needs, so you can install the app and start converting right away.
Can it convert files without losing quality?
Rewrapping and lossless trimming keep the original streams unchanged. Format conversion always re encodes, so use high quality settings when quality matters.
