Retro Player — Video Player for All Formats
Retro Player plays MKV, AVI, MP4, MOV, FLV, WMV, 3GP, WEBM, TS, M4V, MPG and more — straight from your device, with no conversion and no extra codec packs.
▶ EVERY FORMAT, ONE PLAYER
Most built-in players handle MP4 and give up after that. Retro Player uses its own decoder, so files that fail elsewhere open normally here — including high-bitrate MKV files and older AVI recordings.
Video: MKV · AVI · MP4 · MOV · FLV · WMV · 3GP · WEBM · TS · M4V · MPG · MPEG · VOB · DIVX
Audio: MP3 · AAC · FLAC · WAV · OGG · M4A · AC3
▶ SUBTITLES THAT ACTUALLY WORK
Load SRT, ASS, SSA and VTT subtitle files. Adjust text size, colour and position, and fix the timing when subtitles drift out of sync with the audio.
▶ CONTROL BY GESTURE
Swipe up and down on the right side for volume, on the left side for brightness. Swipe sideways to scrub through a video. Double-tap to skip forward or back. Everything is within reach of one thumb.
▶ BACKGROUND AUDIO
Keep listening with the screen off. Useful for recorded lectures, podcasts, interviews and concert footage when you only need the sound.
▶ RESUME WHERE YOU LEFT OFF
Retro Player remembers your position in every file and picks up exactly where you stopped — no scrubbing to find your place again.
▶ PLAYBACK SPEED
Anywhere from 0.25× to 4×, with pitch correction so voices still sound natural when you speed them up.
▶ PLAY FROM A LINK
Paste a direct video URL and play it without downloading first.
▶ BROWSE BY FOLDER
Your videos appear organised by folder, exactly as they sit on your device. Internal storage and SD card are both supported.
▶ BUILT TO STAY OUT OF YOUR WAY
The player opens in about a second. There is no account to create, no sign-in, and no library to build before you can watch something. Your files stay on your phone — Retro Player never uploads your videos anywhere.
▶ WHY PEOPLE KEEP IT INSTALLED
• Free to use
• Opens files other players reject
• Works fully offline for local files
• Clean interface with no clutter
• Small download size
▶ ABOUT PERMISSIONS
Storage access is required so the app can find and play the media files already on your device. That scanning happens entirely on your phone. Retro Player does not read, copy or upload the contents of your files.
▶ ABOUT CONTENT
Retro Player is a media player. It does not host, provide, stream or index any video or audio content, and it ships with no catalogue or media library. Everything you play is a file you already have, or a link you enter yourself. Please make sure you have the right to play any content you open.
▶ SUPPORT
Found a file that won't play, or a feature you'd like to see? Email support@retroclock.com and tell us the format — it helps us decide what to fix next.
