KillerPlayer is a custom video player for YouTube-hosted videos. Paste a link, match the player to your brand, and embed it anywhere. Titles, logos and suggested videos stop pulling people away, and your videos stay right where they are on YouTube.
A standard embed: title, channel, logo and a row of other videos, all one tap from leaving. The same YouTube video in KillerPlayer: your colors, your watermark, one place left to click.
You worked to get someone onto your page. The default player then puts these on top of your video:
One tap opens the video on YouTube, away from your offer, lesson or article.
Another link off your page, sitting on every video you embed.
Suggestions appear at exactly the moment you want the viewer's next click.
The same default look as millions of other sites, instead of your brand.
Each of those is a click away from the thing you actually want them to do. KillerPlayer lets you close every one.
KillerPlayer doesn't host your videos. It changes how they look and behave on your website, so there's nothing to move.
Drop in a YouTube video or YouTube Live link you already have.
Pick one of 5 player themes, set your brand colors, add a watermark and choose what viewers see.
Copy one embed code into any page or platform that accepts HTML.
Paste a YouTube link and make the player yours. This is the real KillerPlayer, not a mockup.
Paste a link, or try a sample video.
Free plan, no credit card required. Already a customer? You go straight to your app.
Visitors judge your offer by how it looks. Make the player match your site, not someone else's.
No titles, suggested videos or ads competing with your message, so the next click is the one you want.
Your library stays on YouTube. KillerPlayer only changes how it's presented on your site.
Decide which sites can show your videos, protect the ones that matter, and see what gets watched.
Keep lessons on YouTube, where they already live, and present them in a clean player inside your course. No suggested videos tempting students away mid-module, and your brand on every lesson.
Your sales video should lead to one click: yours. KillerPlayer removes the titles, logo links and suggested videos that compete with your offer, and dresses the player in your brand.
Give each client a player in their own colors, embedded with one code on whatever platform their site runs on.
Present your own YouTube videos in a clean player that fits your site, so readers keep reading instead of drifting to the next video.

It's a fair question whenever a third-party player changes how a YouTube video is presented.
KillerPlayer is not designed to bypass YouTube's systems, evade detection or interfere with your YouTube account. It gives you a more customizable way to display and embed your videos on your own website. We've provided this since 2015 and haven't had customers report YouTube account penalties from using our player.
You stay in control of the presentation. For example, you choose whether the YouTube logo is shown or hidden. Your videos remain on YouTube and subject to YouTube's terms, so if your project requires strict alignment with YouTube's embedding policies, review them and set up your player to match.
No. KillerPlayer is a custom video player for videos hosted on YouTube. Your videos stay on YouTube, and KillerPlayer changes how they look and behave when embedded on your website. There's nothing to upload and no storage or bandwidth to pay for.
Paste a YouTube video or YouTube Live link into KillerPlayer, choose one of 5 player themes, set your colors, watermark and playback options, then copy the embed code into your page. The embed is a standard iframe, so it works anywhere you can add HTML.
Any platform that lets you add an HTML embed, including WordPress, Shopify, Webflow, Wix, Squarespace, Kajabi, Teachable, Thinkific and most page builders and funnel tools.
Domain Lock, available on the Premium and Enterprise plans, lets you list the websites where your videos are allowed to play. On any other site, they won't play. Password protection, included on every plan, asks for a password before a video plays.
KillerPlayer also makes the underlying YouTube video much harder for a typical viewer to find, although a technical user could still locate it. If you sell high-value content that needs DRM or encrypted streaming, a secure video-hosting platform is the better fit.
You can see views, play rate, average watch time and completion for each video, so you know which videos get watched and where viewers stop. The free plan includes basic analytics.
Yes. Captions available on your YouTube video appear in KillerPlayer, and you can embed YouTube Live streams the same way you embed regular videos.
Each plan includes a monthly number of views. One view is counted per page session, no matter how long someone watches, unless they refresh the page. There are no bandwidth charges and no limit on video length. If you need more views, you can upgrade your plan or add extra views with an add-on.
There's a free-forever plan with 5 videos and 500 views a month, and no credit card is required. Paid plans start at $2 a month billed yearly or $5 billed monthly, and one-time plans start at $39. Introductory prices apply to your first billing period; future renewals bill at the standard rate. See every plan on the pricing page.
Your embedded videos stop playing until you renew. Nothing is deleted, so renewing brings everything back as it was. You can cancel, upgrade or downgrade at any time from your account.
For many businesses, yes: if your videos are already on YouTube and what you want is a clean, branded player on your own site. Wistia and Vimeo are video-hosting platforms, where you upload your files and pay for hosting. KillerPlayer keeps your videos on YouTube and focuses on how they're presented, which keeps the cost low. If you need hosting outside YouTube or DRM, a hosting platform is the right choice.
In GTmetrix tests, KillerPlayer embeds score an A grade and load in under 2 seconds. Uptime is published on our public status page.
KillerPlayer is made by THE ZAIX Inc. It launched in 2015 as Julbul.com, was later renamed KillerPlayer, and is used by more than 3,200 businesses.
Every purchase comes with a 30-day money-back guarantee. If you're not satisfied for any reason in your first 30 days, contact us and we'll issue a full refund.
Set up your first branded player on the free plan, no card required. Upgrade only when it's earning its keep.
