Why choose DaVinci Resolve?
DaVinci Resolve is genuine professional post-production software used on feature films and commercials, combining editing, industry-leading colour grading, visual effects and audio post in one application. The free version is remarkably complete rather than crippled.
DaVinci Resolve has a genuinely free tier — usable on its own, with paid upgrades that remain optional. It runs on Windows, macOS, Linux, and it comes from Blackmagic Design rather than from a repackager — this page sends you to www.blackmagicdesign.com, the publisher's own site, so what you install is the authentic signed build.
Worth comparing before you commit: DaVinci Resolve vs Shotcut, DaVinci Resolve vs Kdenlive, DaVinci Resolve vs OpenShot.

How to download and install DaVinci Resolve on Windows
- Use the official source. The download button on this page opens www.blackmagicdesign.com, the publisher's own site — that is the safe route. If you would rather we double-check the current link first, ask and we email it. Either way, never take a davinci resolve download from a mirror or a "download manager" portal, which is where bundled adware comes from.
- Pick the build for your system. DaVinci Resolve runs on Windows, macOS, Linux. On Windows take the 64-bit package unless you are on an old 32-bit installation.
- Run the installer and accept the defaults. Blackmagic Design ships no bundled extra software with it, so there is nothing to untick.
- Open it once before you need it. Confirming it launches and sees your files or hardware takes a minute now and saves a problem later.
- Keep it updated. Update from inside the program or from www.blackmagicdesign.com — update prompts arriving by email or pop-up are not from the publisher.
Downloading DaVinci Resolve in India
DaVinci Resolve is the same software worldwide — there is no separate India build, no regional licence and nothing extra to pay. A davinci resolve download in India gets the identical package everyone else receives, straight from www.blackmagicdesign.com.
We link only to that official source, so a davinci resolve setup download India from this page cannot arrive wrapped in a third-party installer. That matters more than download speed: the adware people blame on "free software" almost always comes from a mirror site, never from the publisher.
Is DaVinci Resolve really free?
Free tier. A genuinely free tier, with optional paid upgrades. You can download and use it without paying, and without creating an account with us.
How to download DaVinci Resolve safely

Avoid third-party "download manager" sites offering DaVinci Resolve. They commonly wrap the genuine installer in their own bundler, which is how adware and browser hijackers get onto a machine that the user believed was clean.
