Our promises
No codec sales
HEVC, MKV, AC-3 and more play without buying a codec pack.
Your files stay yours
Files are played on your device and never uploaded.
You decide
File associations, history and diagnostics are all opt-in.
Watch together · Video call · Lectures · Presentations
What you play, watched together from anywhere.
Play a video, lecture or presentation and send a link: people at the office, at home or on the road see the same picture and hear the same sound live. They need no file and no install.
One link, no file needed
Viewers just open the link and watch in their browser. No app, no sign-up.
Sound and subtitles too
Stereo sound and the subtitle line come along, as if they sat next to you.
Lecture and presentation mode
Host-only controls, whiteboard and pen, video call and chat, polls, quizzes, attendance export and lesson recording.
Many viewers at once
One link for everyone. For 50+ viewers, plug in your own Cloudflare key for a steady picture.
Put it on the big TV
Viewers can send it to a smart TV with Chrome Cast, Windows key + K, Galaxy Smart View or AirPlay.
Live subtitle translation
Every viewer reads the subtitles in their own language, translated on their own device.

The video is never stored on a server: it goes device to device, encrypted.
On-device AI
Foreign videos and lectures, made yours
Transcribe and translate even without subtitles, then study and search by what was said. All processing stays on your device.
AI subtitles, translated
Even a foreign video with no subtitles: the Windows app transcribes it on your PC and translates it into your language, shown with the original. Video and sound never leave your device.
Learn from the script
The whole script follows playback: repeat a line, slow it down, hide the subtitle, tap a word for its meaning, keep a word book (CSV). Lectures and dramas become study material.
Find a scene by its words · auto chapters
Find 'the scene where they said that' across every video you've watched and jump straight there. Long lectures get topic chapters automatically.
Clear voices · GPU upscaling
Music and effects dip only while someone speaks, so voices stand out; low-resolution video is enlarged and sharpened on your GPU to your screen's real pixels.
Transcription, translation and search all run on this device only; video, sound and subtitles are never sent anywhere.

Our promises
Not another “free” player.
Many free players pay for themselves with ads, bundled offers and codec upsells. PlayAnyVideo doesn’t.

Why won't KakaoTalk videos play on my PC?
Many phones record in HEVC (H.265). Windows' built-in player asks you to buy the HEVC Video Extension. PlayAnyVideo for Windows includes an open-source decoder, so these videos play for free.
Is PlayAnyVideo really free?
Yes. Core playback, subtitles, playlists and picture controls are free with no ads and no paid unlocks.
Are my videos uploaded?
No. Files you open are played locally. The web player runs entirely in your browser.
Which formats are supported?
In the browser: MP4/H.264, WebM/VP9/AV1, MP3, AAC, FLAC, Opus, WAV and more depending on the browser. In the Windows app: additionally HEVC, MKV with AC-3/DTS audio, AVI, WMV, FLV, MOV and others via FFmpeg.
Can I download videos from YouTube or Netflix?
No. PlayAnyVideo only saves direct links you have the right to keep. It never bypasses DRM, logins or platform terms.
Does it work on an Android emulator?
Yes, once the app is on Google Play: install it from the Play Store in an emulator image that includes Google Play. On Windows we recommend the native Windows app for best performance.
Press play. That’s it.
Free forever. No account required.
