HandBrake was started in 2003 and is now maintained by a team of volunteers. It does one thing, converting videos, and does it very well.
What HandBrake is for
Reducing the size of a video filmed on a phone before sending it, converting a file so it plays on a TV or a tablet, or encoding several videos at once with the same settings. The presets are enough in most cases.
Who is it for?
Anyone who handles videos often: creators, teachers, parents archiving family films. Advanced settings stay available for experts.

The official site is handbrake.fr. The team points out that there is no official HandBrake app for Android or iPhone: apps with that name in the stores have nothing to do with the project.
