A Wondershare UniConverter alternative
for the files you already have.
UniConverter is a capable media suite: it converts, edits, records the screen, downloads, and burns DVDs, and it is sold mostly on subscription with other Wondershare products promoted alongside. If you open it mainly to shrink a video or change a format, MediaKit does that on your iPhone or Mac with no account, and adds tools for PDFs, archives, and ebooks. Five tools stay free for good, and Pro can be a single $39.99 purchase.

About MediaKit
Questions
FAQ
What is a Wondershare UniConverter alternative without a subscription?
MediaKit sells Pro as a one-time $39.99 lifetime purchase as well as monthly or yearly, and five tools stay free for good. It leaves out DVD burning, screen recording, and downloads, and concentrates on changing files: more than 150 tools for video, audio, image, PDF, archive, and ebook files on iPhone and Mac, all running on your device with no account.
Does MediaKit avoid UniConverter's subscriptions and upsells?
You can skip the subscription: MediaKit Pro is $3.99/month or $22.99/year, or a one-time $39.99 lifetime purchase that never renews. Pro is the only thing sold inside the app. UniConverter is typically sold on subscription (with a perpetual option) and is known for in-app promotion of other Wondershare products.
Does MediaKit do everything UniConverter does?
No. UniConverter bundles video editing, DVD burning, screen recording, and downloads. MediaKit has none of those and no timeline editor; it is a set of single-purpose tools you can chain into Recipes with Pro. It compresses, converts, trims, merges, crops, captions, and subtitles video on the device, and covers audio, image, PDF, archive, and ebook files too. If you want the full media suite, UniConverter is broader.
Is MediaKit on-device and private?
Yes. Every MediaKit tool runs on your iPhone or Mac, and the app makes no network requests of its own. There is no account, and the app has no analytics SDK. See its Privacy Manifest on the transparency page.
Does MediaKit run on iPhone as well as Mac?
Yes. MediaKit runs on iPhone and Mac, and one purchase covers both. There is no iPad or Windows version. Wondershare UniConverter is a desktop app for Mac and Windows, so MediaKit is the one to pick if you also convert on your iPhone.
How much does MediaKit cost compared to UniConverter?
Five MediaKit tools stay free for good, one file at a time, and your first 3 days unlock every other tool for single-file runs with no payment. Pro is $3.99/month or $22.99/year, each starting with a 3-day free trial, or $39.99 once. UniConverter is typically around $39.99/year or more on subscription, with a higher perpetual-license price.
Does MediaKit handle the formats UniConverter converts?
The common ones. MediaKit converts and compresses video, opens MKV directly, and writes ProRes to .mov; it does not support WebM. Audio goes out as M4A (AAC), WAV, AIFF, ALAC, or CAF, from formats including MP3 and FLAC. UniConverter's format list is longer, and its editing, recording, and download extras are outside what MediaKit does.
