UMPlayer for Windows

Need a free player that opens almost any video without hunting for codecs? UMPlayer, built on the same MPlayer engine as SMPlayer, plays common video and audio formats out of the box and adds flexible subtitle and picture controls.

Play video and audio files

UMPlayer handles popular audio and video formats through its built-in playback support, so a separate codec download is not needed for ordinary compatible files. Simple playback controls cover the basic task of starting and managing a video or audio track.

The same player can handle movie and TV episode files in different formats. UMPlayer has not been updated since version 0.98 around 2011, so its online extras such as YouTube and SHOUTcast radio no longer work; SMPlayer is the actively maintained alternative.

Tune subtitle timing and appearance

Subtitle controls let you move captions backward or forward when their timing does not match the dialogue. You can also change the subtitle area and font, giving control over where captions appear and how their text looks.

• Shift subtitle timing to bring captions in sync.
• Change the subtitle position and font.

Adjust the video image

UMPlayer includes picture adjustments for files that need more than ordinary playback. Apply filters, rotate or mirror the image, and change its aspect ratio to alter how the video is shown.

• Apply an image filter.
• Rotate or mirror the video.
• Change the aspect ratio to remove black bars.

System requirements: Windows 7, Windows 8, Windows 8.1, Windows 10, Windows 11
