One installer per platform, no account needed to try it. Install the app, create an account inside it, and start with the Free plan — the heavier tools stay locked until you decide to upgrade.
LiaforaStudio installs on a computer. Open this page on a Mac, Windows or Linux desktop to download it — the installers do not run on phones or tablets.

Standard Windows installer. Run it, accept the prompts, and LiaforaStudio appears in your Start menu. Works on 64-bit Windows 10 and Windows 11.
Security warning on first install? That is common for new software and says nothing about safety — choose “Run anyway / Allow” to continue. See how to fix it

Debian package for 64-bit Debian and Ubuntu systems. Install it from the terminal or open it in your software centre — both end with LiaforaStudio in your applications menu.

Updates arrive inside the app. If you disabled auto-update, you can force a check from Settings → General, or reinstall over the top — your account, Computinglet? balance and local projects are untouched.
Only download LiaforaStudio from this website. We never ship installers through third-party mirrors, download portals or instant-message links.
Before you install
The app is light to run and heavy lifting happens on our servers — with one exception, noted below.
| Requirement | Minimum | Recommended |
|---|---|---|
| Operating system | macOS 12 Monterey · Windows 10 (64-bit) · Ubuntu 20.04 / Debian 11 (64-bit) | macOS 14 Sonoma or later · Windows 11 · Ubuntu 22.04 or later |
| Processor | Apple M1 or Intel Core i5 · 64-bit x64 CPU | Apple M-series · modern 64-bit x64 CPU |
| Memory | 8 GB | 16 GB for long video jobs |
| Free disk space | 4 GB | 20 GB for cached video work |
| Local video enhancer | NVIDIA GTX 1050 / 10-series (2016) or newer · AMD RX 400 or newer · Intel 6th-gen Core (2015) or newer · Apple silicon or 2017+ Mac | Discrete GPU (GTX 1650 / RX 560 or faster) or Apple M-series |
| Internet connection | Required for AI features | Broadband, low latency |
| Account | Free account inside the app | — |
Why the GPU list? The local video enhancer runs AI models on your machine through Vulkan. Older graphics — NVIDIA NVS and 3-digit mobile cards, Intel HD Graphics 2000–5000 (pre-2015) — have no usable Vulkan driver, and updating drivers cannot enable it. Such machines can still use every other feature, since those run on our servers. The in-app environment check verifies your GPU before first use.
Installation
Double-click the downloaded .dmg. If nothing happens, reopen it from Finder — macOS is likely still verifying it.
Move the LiaforaStudio icon onto the Applications folder shortcut in the same window.
On first launch macOS may ask you to confirm opening a downloaded app. Choose Open — see the troubleshooting list below if it refuses.
Sign up with email, Google or WeChat inside the app. No card details are needed for the Free plan.
Download the .deb into a folder you can reach from the terminal — Downloads works for most people.
Run sudo apt install ./LiaforaStudio-linux-1.0.0-amd64.deb. Prefer a mouse? Double-click the file and your software centre installs it for you.
Open LiaforaStudio from your applications menu. If it complains about missing libraries, run sudo apt -f install once.
Sign up with email, Google or WeChat inside the app. No card details are needed for the Free plan.
Double-click the downloaded .exe. If Windows shows a SmartScreen notice, choose More info → Run anyway — see the troubleshooting list below.
Take the default destination. The installer adds a Start menu shortcut and a desktop icon you can remove later.
On first launch Windows may ask whether the app may use your network. Allow it — the AI features need it. See the troubleshooting list below if it is blocked.

Troubleshooting
The things support gets asked about, answered up front.
This is Gatekeeper, not a broken download. Right-click (Control-click) the app in Applications and choose Open, then confirm in the dialog. macOS remembers your choice afterwards.
You can also open System Settings → Privacy & Security and choose Open Anyway next to the LiaforaStudio entry.
Almost always means the quarantine flag survived a copy or the download was truncated. Clear the flag from Terminal:
xattr -cr /Applications/LiaforaStudio.app
If it still fails, delete the file and re-download — compare the size against the installer listing above.
This is SmartScreen, not a broken download. In the dialog choose More info and then Run anyway. Windows remembers the choice afterwards, so the next install opens cleanly.
If your device is managed by an organisation, that button may be hidden — ask your IT team to allow the installer, or write to us and we will supply the signing details.
Newly released software has not built up a safety reputation yet, so it may get a cautious warning — this says nothing about whether the app is safe (this website is the only distribution channel; the installer is never repackaged by third parties).
When prompted, choose “Allow” and tick “remember this choice” to continue; or add the install folder to your security software’s trusted zone / whitelist.
If it still will not install: switch to the portable version — download it, right-click “Extract All”, then double-click LiaforaStudio.exe inside. No installer, and the blocks no longer trigger.

Video enhancement runs on your own machine and needs a Vulkan-capable GPU. Machines without it can use every other feature — those run on our servers — but cannot upscale locally.
If your machine does support Vulkan and it still fails, update your GPU drivers or operating system, then retry once.
Failed jobs keep their Computinglet: nothing is deducted unless the result reaches you. Open the task list to see the error text, then retry. If it fails twice, write to support with the job ID and we will trace it.
Almost always a missing system library. Run sudo apt -f install once — apt pulls in whatever the package needs — then start LiaforaStudio again.
If it still refuses, launch it from a terminal to see the error text and send it to [email protected].
Not yet — the .deb has no built-in updater. When a new version is out, download it from this page and install it over the top: your account, Computinglet balance and local projects stay where they are.
macOS 12 or later, 64-bit Windows 10 and Windows 11, and Linux as a .deb package (Ubuntu 20.04 or later, Debian 11 or later). Use the macOS / Windows / More switch at the top of this page — the installer, install steps and checksum follow your choice.
After the installer reaches our CDN we publish its checksum here. Compare it before you install — it takes ten seconds and is the only way to be sure the file is the one we built.
