Apne PiP Player
Free · No account · Chrome & Edge
Keep the video. Use the rest of your screen.
Apne PiP Player is a picture-in-picture extension for Chrome and Edge. It lifts any video out of the page into a floating window that stays on top of everything else, and the full controls travel with it: speed, volume boost, subtitles, notes and a sleep timer.
Free. Works in Chrome and Edge 116 or newer. No account, no ads, and nothing sent anywhere unless you switch it on.
Subtitles come along too
- 0.25–4×playback speed
- 300%volume boost
- 4videos at once
- 0trackers by default
Forty seconds of it working
Recorded from the extension itself, not a mock-up. No sound.
Three ways to pop a video out
Whichever one fits your hands. The video keeps playing through the move, and goes back to the page when you are done.
-
Hover the video
A small control bar appears over it. Click Pop out. The same bar also changes speed and takes a screenshot without opening anything.
-
Click the toolbar icon
Useful when the video is further down the page, or when the site hides its own controls. The icon shows ON while a pop-up is running.
-
Press Alt+P
Press it again to send the video back to the tab. If the page holds more than one video, you get a picker instead of a guess.
What you get in the window
A browser's own picture-in-picture gives you play, pause and close. This one carries the whole player with it.
- Speed and volume
- 0.25x to 4x, and volume up to 300% for recordings that were quiet to begin with.
- Subtitles
- Captions render inside the pop-up, where most browsers drop them.
- A-B loop
- Mark a start and an end to repeat one passage until you have it.
- Notes with timestamps
- Write a note while you watch. Click it later and the video jumps back to that second.
- Screenshots
- One click saves the current frame to your Downloads folder.
- Sleep timer
- Stops playback after 15 to 90 minutes, for when you watch in bed.
What people use it for
The same idea — keep the video in view while you get on with something else — fits a lot of days.
- Watch while you work
- Keep a match, a stream or a long video playing in the corner while you type in a spreadsheet, answer email or fill a form.
- Follow a lecture or tutorial
- Float the video beside your editor or notebook, slow it to 0.75x, loop the line you missed, and keep a timestamped transcript you can search.
- Two videos at once
- Chrome allows one pop-up window, so this one holds up to four in a grid — two camera angles, a match beside its commentary, or a call beside a screen share.
- Watch on YouTube and most sites
- It works on ordinary HTML5 video across the web, including YouTube, with the controls drawn inside the window rather than left behind in the tab.
A look at it
It also plays what is not on a website
Apne Player, built into the extension, opens from the toolbar icon.
- Your own files
- Drop in video or audio files, or a whole folder, and they play as a playlist. The next one starts by itself.
- Any app window
- Pick a window, a browser tab or your whole screen, and watch it live in the pop-up while you work in something else.
- Your camera
- Keep a small webcam window in the corner while you record or present.
Put it on your toolbar
Install takes about a minute, and the extension starts working on the pages you already have open.
