How to download and run MP4Fix?¶
MP4Fix is a single portable command-line file. Download the version for your computer and run it from the terminal/command line - there is nothing to install.
Download Links¶
Windows (Intel or AMD processor, most PCs): mp4fix-windows-x64.exe
Windows (ARM processor): mp4fix-windows-arm64.exe
macOS (Apple Silicon or Intel): mp4fix-macos.zip
Note
Not sure which Windows version to pick? Most PCs use an Intel or AMD processor, so mp4fix-windows-x64.exe is the right choice. Choose mp4fix-windows-arm64.exe only if your PC is a Windows on ARM device.
Windows Setup¶
Download
mp4fix-windows-x64.exeand put it in a convenient folder, for exampleC:\Tools.Open PowerShell (open the Start menu and type
powershell).Go to the folder:
cd C:\Tools
Confirm MP4Fix runs by showing its version:
.\mp4fix-windows-x64.exe version
mp4fix 1.0.2 (build 29c722a, 2026-08-07)
Note
The .\ in front of the file name is required - PowerShell does not run programs from the current folder without it. See Why does PowerShell say mp4fix is not recognized? for details.
Note
If Windows shows a SmartScreen message the first time you run the file, see Why does Windows or macOS show a security prompt when I run MP4Fix?.
The commands in the examples use mp4fix-windows-x64.exe. If you downloaded the ARM version, type mp4fix-windows-arm64.exe instead.
macOS Setup¶
Download
mp4fix-macos.zipand double-click it to unzip. You get a single file namedmp4fix-macos.Open Terminal (Applications -> Utilities -> Terminal).
Go to the folder and allow the file to run - this is only needed once:
cd ~/Downloads
chmod +x mp4fix-macos
Confirm MP4Fix runs by showing its version:
./mp4fix-macos version
mp4fix 1.0.2 (build 29c722a, 2026-08-07)
Note
The ./ in front of the file name is required - Terminal needs it for programs in the current folder.
Note
If macOS shows a security dialog the first time you run the file, see Why does Windows or macOS show a security prompt when I run MP4Fix?.
No Installation Required¶
MP4Fix does not install anything and does not change any system settings. To remove it from your computer, simply delete the file.
