Want to watch a video from Photos or Files in Picture in Picture? That is what pippi is for: a simple video player for iPhone.
Choose a video, tap PiP, then open another app. Videos you select through Photos or Files inside pippi play from their original location, without an extra copy.
Playback controls
- Start PiP with the button or a swipe up.
- Rotate your iPhone for full-screen playback.
- Save a speed from 0.5× to 2× for each video.
- Skip backward or forward by 3, 5, 10, 15, 30 or 60 seconds.
- Choose one or two skip buttons in each direction.
- Swipe left or right to skip. Double-tap to play or pause.
Open videos again from a history with thumbnails and saved playback positions. Use folders, search and custom display names to find them. Original filenames stay the same.
You can also add videos from the share sheet. Regular sharing saves a copy inside pippi so it can be opened again. Add the ready-made shortcut from Settings to open the main app and play from sharing.
No ads or account required. Videos and history are not sent to the developer's servers. All features are free. An optional coffee tip in Settings supports the developer; it does not unlock features or renew automatically.
Available in Japanese, English, Simplified Chinese, Spanish and Korean. Appearance and individual gestures can be changed in Settings.
Requires iPhone with iOS 17 or later. Video formats depend on iOS support. iOS manages the PiP window, so custom skip intervals and gestures from the app do not apply there.
