Frequently Asked Questions
Is Honeymelon really free?
Yes. Honeymelon is free and open source under the MIT license. There are no subscription fees, license keys or conversion accounts. Bundled media tools have their own license notices.
Which operating systems are supported?
Published desktop packages are available for macOS, Windows and Linux. Availability varies by release and processor. The download page lists exact verified packages; check the original release notes before installing.
Does Honeymelon work offline?
Media conversion happens on your computer using bundled tools. An internet connection is needed to download Honeymelon, but your media does not need to be uploaded for conversion.
What file formats are supported?
Honeymelon works with video, audio and images, including common formats such as MP4, MP3, JPEG and PNG. Available outputs and codecs depend on the platform and release. Not every input can become every output.
Do you upload my files?
No media upload is required by the desktop conversion workflow. The website hosting provider may process ordinary access logs; read our privacy page for details.
What should I know about the 3.0 beta?
The 3.0 beta is explicitly unsigned and may trigger operating-system trust warnings. The screenshots on this page show that beta. Stable downloads remain separate; read the release notes and verify published checksums.
How can I contribute?
Report a reproducible bug, improve documentation, contribute a translation or propose a code change on GitHub. Private media should not be attached to public issue reports.
