NewPipe

NewPipe is a free YouTube video player that puts you in control—download videos, remove ads, and watch offline without relying on Google Play Services. Unlike the official app, NewPipe accesses YouTube content directly through the web version, so it works even on devices without Google's framework installed. This independence gives you freedom, privacy, and features you won't find elsewhere.

Watch and download in the quality you choose. Select from 144p up to 1080p resolution for both streaming and offline playback. You can also extract audio from videos and save music in your preferred bitrate, perfect for building a personal music library without subscriptions. Before downloading, you'll always see the file size so you know exactly what you're getting.

Keep your screen off and save mobile data with background playback. Listen to videos, podcasts, and music while your device is locked—the app streams only audio to minimize bandwidth usage. Switch to picture-in-picture mode to watch in a floating window while you multitask across other apps. No interruptions, no distractions.

Experience uninterrupted viewing without advertisements. NewPipe strips all ads from YouTube videos, letting you jump straight to the content you want. Browse related videos and read comments naturally without the clutter of the official app's interface.

Organize your content your way. Create custom playlists, save favorite videos for quick access, and review your full playback history whenever you need to find a video you watched before. While NewPipe doesn't support YouTube account login (so personalized recommendations based on watch history won't appear), you can manually subscribe to channels and export your subscriptions to keep your library intact across devices.

NewPipe also extends beyond YouTube—stream and download from SoundCloud and other supported platforms through the same streamlined interface. Whether you're building an offline music collection, watching videos on limited data, or simply preferring an ad-free experience, NewPipe delivers the flexibility and control the standard apps don't offer. Download NewPipe today and reclaim your video streaming experience.
