--- title: NIUBI Partition Editor canonical: https://saasranked.com/software/niubi-partition-editor/ category: Disk Partition Software points: 77 rank: 4 of 12 facts_checked: 2026-10-09 --- # NIUBI Partition Editor Windows partition editor with a free home edition and a $39 one-time Professional edition. 77 points out of 100. #4 of 12 disk partition managers. Vendor: NIUBI. Website: https://www.hdd-tool.com/ - The Free edition costs $0 and is for home, non-commercial use on 1 PC [1][8]. - Professional costs $39 one time and covers 1 or 2 PCs [2]. - Professional adds 1-Second Rollback and a bootable media builder; Free lacks both [1]. - A 90-day money-back guarantee applies, and the licence is valid perpetually for the version bought [2][5]. - Converting MBR to GPT and cloning a disk are listed; splitting a partition is not [1][3]. Verdict: NIUBI suits people who want one payment of $39 for two PCs, plus rollback if an operation is interrupted [1][2][6]. The Free edition covers resize, move, merge and MBR to GPT conversion for home use [1][3]. The catch: pages do not list splitting, FAT32 to NTFS conversion or partition recovery, and Free has no rollback or boot media builder [1][3]. Best for: People who want a low one-time price and a rollback feature. ## Points | Criterion | Line | Value | Points | Note | |---|---|---|---|---| | Partition tools | Resize and move partitions | Yes | 8/8 | Home page says it can shrink, extend, move and merge partitions without data loss; Free has all functions [1]. | | Partition tools | Merge partitions | Yes | 4/4 | The resize feature includes merging partitions without data loss [1][9]. | | Partition tools | Give free space to another partition | Not published | 0/3 | Not published on the vendor's feature pages [3][9]. | | Partition tools | Split a partition | Not published | 0/4 | Not published on the vendor's feature pages; only shrink and merge are listed [3][4]. | | Partition tools | Convert FAT32 to NTFS | Not published | 0/3 | Pages list only NTFS to FAT32 conversion, not FAT32 to NTFS [3][4]. | | Partition tools | File systems named | NTFS, FAT32 | 2/4 | Pages name NTFS and FAT32 only in NTFS to FAT32 conversion. exFAT and Ext4 are not named [3][4]. | | Disks and system | Convert MBR and GPT without data loss | Yes | 8/8 | Converts MBR disks to GPT without data loss; the Free edition converts data disks [3][7]. | | Disks and system | Migrate Windows to another drive | Yes | 8/8 | Copy Disk Wizard clones the whole disk to migrate the operating system and data [4]. | | Disks and system | Clone a whole disk | Yes | 7/7 | Clones disks and partitions, or the system disk, to another drive [3]. | | Disks and system | Recover lost partitions | Not published | 0/5 | Not published on the vendor's feature pages [3][4]. | | Disks and system | Disks over 2 TB | Not published | 0/3 | Not published: no page states that NIUBI supports GPT disks over 2 TB [3][7][8]. | | Safety and media | Bootable disc or USB | Yes | 7/7 | Professional includes a Bootable Media Builder for a CD, DVD or USB drive [4]. | | Safety and media | Protection if an operation is interrupted | Yes | 5/5 | 1-Second Rollback reverts the computer to its snapshot after an error or hardware fault; the vendor names power failure as a trigger [6]. | | Safety and media | Open source | Not published | 0/3 | Not published on the vendor's pages; no source repository is linked [1][8]. | | Price and licence | Free edition | Yes | 8/8 | Free edition is free for home users, non-commercial use, and includes resize and move [1][8]. | | Price and licence | Cheapest paid edition | $39/yr | 10/10 | Professional, $39 one time for 1 or 2 PCs; no subscription is listed [2]. | | Price and licence | One-time licence | Yes | 6/6 | FAQ says the licence is valid perpetually for the version bought; Professional is a one-time payment [2][5]. | | Price and licence | Money-back period of 30 days or more | Yes | 4/4 | The buy page and FAQ state a 90-day money-back guarantee [2][5]. | ## Plans | Plan | Price | Per month (USD) | |---|---|---| | Free | Free [1][8] | $0 | | Professional | $39 [2][5] | - | | Professional with 2-year upgrades | $49 [2] | - | | Professional with lifetime upgrades | $69 [2][5] | - | The buy page also shows a time-limited 20% discount on the lifetime-upgrade bundles; we price the base $39 licence [2].
