Screenshots

Safari for Windows is a historical build of Apple’s browser. Apple released it in 2007 and stopped updating it in 2012.

It is free and the installer is clean on VirusTotal. The browser itself is frozen in time, so modern websites often break and security fixes never arrive.

Download it for curiosity, archive collections or a closed test machine. For daily browsing, pick a supported browser instead.

What is Safari?

Safari is Apple’s web browser, the default on Mac, iPhone and iPad. It is built on the WebKit engine and is known for a clean layout and tight Apple integration.

The Windows edition was a port of that browser, offered to PC users for a few years.

Why Apple dropped the Windows version

Safari for Windows arrived in 2007, alongside the early iPhone and iPod era. Apple marketed it as the fastest browser on Windows at launch.

Updates stopped in 2012, and the company has focused on its own operating systems since. That is why no current Safari exists for Windows.

What the old WebKit engine still does well

WebKit gave the browser quick page loads and solid standards support for its time. Text rendering and the minimalist toolbar also set it apart from busier rivals.

Top Sites showed your favorite pages as large thumbnails on a new tab. Cover Flow let you flip through history visually, though it was dropped later.

Tip: if you want to see how browsers looked in the late 2000s, this build is a neat time capsule.

Where modern websites fall apart

The engine stopped at the 2012 web, so newer layout and scripting features are missing. Expect broken menus, blank sections and login forms that refuse to submit.

Streaming sites, web apps and anything that relies on current standards are the most likely to fail.

Unpatched security holes are the real cost

Browsers get fixes every few weeks because attackers target them constantly. This one has received none for years, so known flaws stay open.

Visiting an unfamiliar page with it carries more risk than with any maintained browser.

The installer is clean, the browser is the risk

The installer on this page was checked with VirusTotal and came back clean, so the file itself is not malware.

That check says nothing about the browser’s old code. The danger comes from using it online, not from installing it.

Testing in a throwaway virtual machine

If you must run it, a virtual machine with no personal data keeps the risk away from your main system.

Tip: this shows only how the old Safari renders. To see today’s Safari, use a Mac, an iPhone or a remote testing service.

Anyone who logs in online should skip it

Skip it if you shop, bank or use work accounts in your browser. Skip it as well if you need modern web apps or video sites.

It suits collectors, historians and people who just want to look at an old piece of software.

How to Download & Install

Hit the download button at the top of this page and you get Safari’s setup program, an EXE that works without an internet connection.

Apple no longer supports this browser on Windows, so treat the install as an archive or testing job and not as a new daily browser.

Installation steps

Step 1: Press the download button at the top of this page and keep the EXE somewhere easy to find, such as your Downloads folder.

Step 2: Open the file with a double-click. When the welcome screen appears, press Next.

Install Safari Browser on Windows - Welcome Screen - Press Next

Step 3: On the license agreement screen, tick the box to accept the terms, then press Next.

Install Safari Browser on Windows - License Agreement - Tick I accept - Press Next

Step 4: When the setup finishes, leave the launch option ticked and press Finish. Safari opens right away.

Installer type

Only one main installer is available here, and it is normally the 64-bit build. It is an offline setup, so it does not fetch extra components during installation.

System requirements

Windows 11, Windows 10, Windows 8.1 or Windows 7
Most PCs should use the 64-bit (x64) build, though a 32-bit (x86) version also exists
Internet access is only needed to browse, not to install

License and updates

Safari is free and needs no activation or account.

There is no update path, because Apple ended Windows releases years ago. If you no longer want it, remove it from Settings, then Apps.

Fixes for common install problems

Installer does not start: right-click it and choose Run as administrator.
Wrong architecture: if the setup refuses to run, check whether your Windows is 64-bit or 32-bit and use the matching build.
Pages look broken after install: this is the browser’s age, not an install fault. Open those sites in a current browser.

Before you use it

Do not sign in to email, banking or shopping sites with it. Keep it for offline curiosity, old intranet pages or a virtual machine you can delete.

Conclusion

3.6out of 5 · 104 user ratings

Since Safari has no current Windows version, the useful question is which maintained browser to use instead.

The table below compares three well-known browsers that receive regular security updates.

App	Best For	Price	Platform	Standout Feature
Safari	Archive and curiosity	Free	Legacy Windows build, current on Apple devices	Clean WebKit interface
Google Chrome	Everyday browsing	Free	Windows, macOS, Linux, Android, iOS	Huge extension library and Google account sync
Mozilla Firefox	Privacy-minded users	Free	Windows, macOS, Linux, Android, iOS	Enhanced Tracking Protection and Containers
Microsoft Edge	Windows 10/11 users	Free	Windows, macOS, Linux, Android, iOS	Vertical tabs and sleeping tabs

Final verdict

Safari for Windows is fine as an archive file or a look back at 2000s browsing. It is not suitable for everyday use today.

If you want a browser to live in, choose Chrome, Firefox or Edge and keep Safari for a sandbox.
