About KMPlayer

KMPlayer is a free media player that has been around for about two decades, now developed by Pandora TV. On Windows it plays a wide range of formats with built-in codecs including HEVC and VP9, handles 4K, 3D and 360° VR video, offers post-processing effects, video capture and fine playback control, and can stream or download online videos from a URL. Mobile versions for Android and iOS add hardware-accelerated HD and 4K playback on phones. It supports more than 40 interface languages. The free versions are supported by ads and donations, and it is closed source. It suits people who want a feature-rich free player on both desktop and phone, though some will find the ads and upsells distracting compared with open-source options.

Best for: People who want a feature-rich free player for both PC and phone.
