We asked Gemini: Where are the best places to find Fanedits in 2026 not 2005?
The answer: The fanedit landscape moves fast. If you're looking for the 2026 "state of the art," the scene has shifted toward more decentralized, community-voted platforms and private Discord hubs to dodge the copyright bots.
Here is where the community is actually hanging out right now:
1. The New Heavyweight: MRDb (Movies Remastered Database)
While the old IFDb still exists, MoviesRemastered.com has become the modern alternative.
Why it's better for 2026: It uses a "Geek Stats" community scoring system (currently trending around a 9.2 average). Unlike the old sites that had a tiny board of "approved" editors, MRDb is more democraticâusers vote and review, and the best edits rise to the top of the charts naturally.
The Hub: Their Discord is incredibly active for real-time help and finding "hidden" links that don't stay public for long.
2. Fanworx.org (The Modern Directory)
A newer resource called Fanworx has been gaining steam. Itâs designed specifically for the 2026 era, featuring:
Editor Bios: You can follow specific "fanworkers" like you would on social media.
Versatile Contact Links: Since direct download links are constantly getting nuked, this site specializes in providing the most up-to-date ways to reach editors (Discord, Telegram, or private forum PMs).
3. Reddit's "Inner Circles"
Standard Reddit is still a thing, but the subreddits have split to avoid being banned:
r/FanEditedMovies: Currently the most focused on high-end, "professional grade" releases.
r/fanedits: Still the "town square," but mostly used for announcements. You can find the latest working links to the "Fanedit Network" archives.
4. Direct Editor "Studios"
In 2026, many top-tier editors have moved to hosting their own mini-sites to maintain quality control:
FireMerk Studios: Still the king of "Cinematic Universe" edits (Marvel/DC/Star Wars). They provide a much more "Netflix-like" interface for their projects.
PixelJoker95: If you're looking for the famous Kenobi: Trials of the Master or high-end VFX-heavy edits, following his specific community is mandatory.
2026 Search Tip: "Open Matte" & "Hybrid"
The big trend this year is Open Matte and Hybrid edits (mixing IMAX footage with standard 4K). When searching these sites, use those keywords to find the newest 2026 technical standard releases.
