FFmpeg 9.0.2 is a free 64-bit static full build for Windows, put together by Gyan and released on September 20, 2026. The installer package weighs 245.8 MB, and the file comes from the official server at github.com, not from our site.
Free under GPL-3.0, with no price or ads listed
FFmpeg costs nothing and is released under GPL-3.0, so there is no paid version to worry about.
This is the 64-bit static full build prepared by Gyan, who publishes it at www.gyan.dev. If you manage software from the command line, the package ID is Gyan.FFmpeg.
One framework for decoding, encoding and streaming
FFmpeg is a cross-platform tool to record, convert and stream audio and video. It can decode, encode, transcode, mux, demux, stream and filter media, and it can also play it.
Format coverage runs from very old formats to current ones. This particular package is the full build, which contains most libraries. It is tagged under audio, codec, convert and filter.
FFmpeg works from the command line and has no graphical interface.
Version 9.0.2 is mostly a bug-fix release
The 9.0.2 changelog lists many small corrections across codecs and formats. Several entries concern bounds checks, such as reference counts in Vulkan HEVC and an out-of-bounds write in VVC. Others cover memory leaks and overflow checks in demuxers like Ogg and DASH.
The fftools change rejects negative -t durations.
What's new in 9.0.2
Version 9.0.2 fixes an out-of-bounds write in the VVC decoder and bounds the reference counts in Vulkan HEVC decoding. It also frees cookie parameters on HTTP parse failure and rejects negative -t durations in fftools.
