The choice for marketers, designers and developers.
Flowplayer is a video platform powering 450 000+ sites all over the web. Instead of stealing your audience it welcomes users with clarity.
BTW: there is a new way to manage videos with tagging and searching. Read the news…
Flowplayer can match your brand's look and feel consistently across browsers, devices and operating systems. It shines on the all-important first impression.
Start with a gorgeous, high-quality, retina-optimized image. This allows you far greater control than simply displaying the first frame of your video.
Include any number of player instances on a single page without compromising performance.
Set up video overlays without JavaScript by simply adding a CSS class name.
Send users exactly where you want them to go after the video ends.
Redirect users to a purchase page, product tour or suggest they fill a form. Your video's end screen is fully customizable via HTML. View demo….
Suggest videos from your collection, and avoid users leaving the site to a third-party service.
(Suggestions are coming soon)
Manage your videos in one location and learn how users interact with them.
Add, remove, publish, unpublish, share and embed your videos from a video library designed with the user experience firmly in mind.
How long do viewers spend watching your videos? At what point do they lose interest or tune out and go elsewhere?
View traffic across your entire account, spot trends, and observe the big picture.
Our three-pass encoding guarantees superior quality for the viewer.
Our encoder ensures that the resulting visual quality is always the same. This is achieved by first running a diagnostic program to determine the best encoding parameters specifically for your video.
Flowplayer encodes from three to eight different resolutions. These include lower quality for slow connections and higher quality elsewhere.
Video quality is automatically adjusted based on the connection speed. Flowplayer uses a Flash fallback to guarantee that HLS works across all browsers.
Monetize your videos with Google AdExchange.
AdExchange is normally restricted to sites with more than 10 million streams per month, but Flowplayer makes it available for everyone.
Show ads at the start of the video, at a pre-defined time, or at the end. All impressions and clicks are associated with your account, and the ad revenue duly assigned to you.
Ads are completely optional. You can, of course, keep things minimal and focus your users’ attention on the onboarding flow.

Seamlessly integrate video management and transcoding into your build scripts. Upload as much as you like and we'll take care of the confusing resolution and video codec options.
Hack every part of video playback. Listen to events, add cuepoints, make style changes based on the player state or sync the playback with other parts of the page.
Flowplayer is an open-source project hosted on GitHub. It's the smallest player on the market and is not dependent on jQuery.
Ditch YouTube. It's time for your own player, branding, and ownership.
Flowplayer doesn’t track usage or require an internet connection. It also functions on intranets. The commercial version allows you to remove the Flowplayer logo and include your own.
Flowplayer is not tied to any particular video platform. You can freely load videos from your own server or CDN.
You can even use our free plugin for switching video quality.
Flowplayer Drive lets you upload your videos, or supply custom source links (S3/http/ftp). We handle the complex video encoding: you can host the optimized results. (coming soon)
Flowplayer licenses never expire. You pay once and can then use the player for as long as you wish.
