Offline video player

• Picture-in-picture keeps the video player going on top of other apps
• Open videos from other apps straight into Pixmiro

Pixmiro includes a video player for Android and iPhone that opens the files you already have, offline and with no adverts. It plays MP4, MKV, AVI, MOV and other common formats, so you rarely need a separate MKV player just to watch a clip someone sent you.

When people in the UK look for a video player for Android, the searches that follow are telling: "all format", "without ads", "without wifi", "HEVC", "with zoom". Pixmiro answers the first three directly. It is an all-format video player that runs entirely on the phone, your videos never leave it, and there is no account, tracking or advert break to sit through.

Playback is precise. Speed runs from 0.25x to 3x, useful for slowing down a sports clip or getting through a long lecture recording. As you drag along the timeline, a frame preview shows exactly where you will land. You can loop a video, and picture-in-picture keeps it playing in a small window on top of other apps while you reply to a message.

The video player sits inside a full gallery, so you are not hunting through folders. Videos appear in the grid with your photos, in albums, on the calendar and in search results. They also play in the Reels tab, where you swipe through your own clips full screen. Other apps can hand a video straight to Pixmiro, and on Android you can make it the default gallery.

Can you watch videos without internet? With Pixmiro, that is the only way it works. Everything you play is a file stored on the phone, so a flight, a train through a tunnel or a holiday without roaming makes no difference. Videos stored only in iCloud show a thumbnail and a note, because the app does not download anything.

If a video is too large to keep, the Studio can compress it or convert it to another format, and you can save a single frame as a photo. Trim and save frame are part of the core app; heavier tools are in Pro, which you can try for 14 days without payment.

In short, it is a video player built around privacy: an MKV and MP4 player, a picture-in-picture viewer and a reels screen in one app, with nothing leaving your handset.

Pixmiro brings together a reels and video player for your own photos and videos, a gallery, an audio player, a photo vault, a video compressor, a phone cleaner, a screen recorder and a sound recorder. No account, no adverts, nothing uploaded.

It all stays on your phone. Pixmiro works offline, and your photos, videos and files never leave the handset. The only thing it sends is an anonymous crash report, which you can switch off in Settings.
