DRAG AND DROP
Drop any media file onto the player window to open it instantly. The window automatically resizes to the video’s native resolution and aspect ratio — portrait, landscape, ultra-wide, all handled.
PLAYBACK SPEED
0.5×, 0.75×, 1×, 1.25×, 1.5×, or 2× — perfect for lectures, course videos, podcasts, and tutorials.
