Downloads
Free tools that show up again and again in our guides. Every button goes straight to the maker's official site. We never host installers, wrap them in download managers, or link to mirrors.

Only the official sites linked here are recommended. Never download these tools from mirrors or third-party download sites, even if they look identical, because repackaged installers can add software you did not ask for.
No cracks or activators, ever. They are not a cheaper way to get paid software: they are a common way to install malware, and they are not something UnstuckGuide will ever recommend or link to.
Before you install anything, check the domain in your browser's address bar and make sure it matches the official site linked above. A lookalike domain with an extra word, a different ending or a misspelling is not the official site.
If a download page asks you to install something else first, shows a large button that is not the tool you came for, or starts downloading before you click anything, close the page. The official sites linked here do not work that way.
If you are unsure whether a download page is genuine, stop and check the link again from this page. A minute of checking is always cheaper than cleaning up a bad install.
