Common questions

Is it really free?

Yes. It is free to download and use, with no account.

Which devices does it work on?

iPhone and iPad with iOS 16 or later.

Does it need the internet?

No. EasyPlayer never goes online. Importing, playing and everything else work in airplane mode.

How do I add videos?

Tap + at the top of the library and choose From Photos or From Files. You can pick several at once. EasyPlayer keeps its own copy, so the originals stay where they are.

Which videos can it play?

Anything your iPhone plays, such as MP4, MOV and M4V, up to 4K. A file that can't be opened is skipped with a note when you import it.

How many videos can play at once?

Up to nine. Tap videos in the library to pick which ones play, or tap Play all. If you pick more than nine, Shuffle swaps the others in.

How do I change the grid?

Tap the grid button at the top of the player and pick 1, 2 side by side, 2 stacked, 3, 4, 6 or 9. Settings → Default grid sets the one the player opens with. Three and six turn on their side in landscape.

Can I hear every video?

Yes: every video plays its own sound, all mixed together. Tap a video's speaker button to mute just that one, or the speaker in the bottom bar to mute or unmute them all. Settings → Start muted starts every grid silent.

How does shuffle work?

The shuffle button moves the videos to new places, each with its own random start. The dice button only picks new start points. The start mode button at the top of the player, next to the grid button, sets what Start again does: play every video from its start, or shuffle (also in Settings → When a grid starts).

How do I set where a video starts?

Tap the video to open it full size, move the seek bar to the moment you want, and tap Start here. Or use the video's ⋯ menu: Random start or Start from the beginning.

How do I swap two videos?

Hold a video until it lifts, then drag it onto another one and let go. Both keep playing.

Can I swap in a different video?

Yes: tap the video's ⋯ menu, then Play another video here, and pick from your library.

How do I hide the controls?

Tap the eye button at the top of the player. Tap anywhere to bring the controls back. Settings → Hide controls after hides them on their own after 3, 5 or 10 seconds.

Can I watch in landscape?

Yes: tap the rotate button in the player, or turn on Settings → Landscape full screen so every grid opens sideways with the status bar hidden.

Playback stutters with many videos.

Several high-resolution videos at once, especially 4K, take a lot of work from your device. Pick a smaller grid, or fewer 4K videos. EasyPlayer shows a note when a grid is heavy.

Does deleting a video in EasyPlayer delete it from Photos?

No. Deleting it in EasyPlayer only removes the app's copy; the original in Photos or Files isn't touched.

EasyPlayer is using a lot of space.

Imported videos are copies, so they take the same space again. Settings shows the storage used. Delete videos you no longer need: open Select in the library, pick them and tap Delete.

Can I remove the lines between videos?

Yes: Settings → Lines between videos. Settings → Progress line on videos adds a thin line along the bottom of each video.
