Wondershare UniConverter

About this release

This is the tool people install when they have a folder of files in the wrong format and no interest in learning a command line encoder. Drag the folder in, pick a target from a preset list organised by device and by format, and press convert. Everything else about the application is arranged around that single job being easy, with the more capable tools kept one click away rather than in front of you.

Conversion covers the current container and codec set on both sides, with presets grouped by intended destination so a file can be aimed at a phone, a television, a web upload or an editing timeline without knowing what any of those actually want. Batch conversion runs the whole folder at once, and hardware acceleration on the graphics card is what turns a long queue from an overnight job into a coffee break.

Compression is handled as its own mode rather than being buried in the encoder settings. A target file size or a quality percentage is chosen, a preview shows what the result will look like before committing, and the encoder works out the bitrate to hit it. For anyone sending files through a service with an upload limit, this is the part of the application that gets used most.

Around that sit the smaller tools that stop this being a single purpose program: trimming and merging without re encoding where the format allows, subtitle adding and burning, watermarking, a screen recorder, a disc authoring module with menu templates, an audio extractor and a metadata editor. None of them are as deep as a dedicated application would be, and all of them are enough for the job that brought you here.

What it does

Preset driven conversion

Targets grouped by device and format so a destination can be chosen without knowing its requirements.

Hardware acceleration

Graphics card encoding turns long batch queues from an overnight job into a short wait.

Compression mode

Aim at a file size or quality percentage with a preview before the encode commits.

Batch processing

Whole folders convert in one action with per file settings where needed.

Trim, merge and subtitle

Cut, join, add or burn subtitles and apply watermarks without leaving the window.

Extra tools

Screen recorder, disc authoring with menu templates, audio extraction and metadata editing included.

Changed in this version

• Faster hardware encoding on current graphics hardware.
• Compression preview rewritten with more accurate size estimates.
• Additional device presets added to the target list.
• Improved subtitle rendering when burning into the picture.
• Reduced memory use on very large batch queues.

System requirements

Install order

1. Unpack the archive and run the installer.
2. Set the output folder on first launch so converted files do not land on the system drive.
3. Turn on hardware acceleration in preferences and confirm the graphics device is detected.
4. Run one short test conversion before committing a large batch.
