About VLC for Android

VLC for Android is the official mobile port of the legendary open-source VLC media player, developed by the VideoLAN project. Available completely free with no ads, no in-app purchases, and no data collection, VLC handles virtually every video and audio format ever created — from common formats like MP4, MKV, and AVI to obscure codecs that other players stumble on.

Beyond local files, VLC streams from online sources, local network servers (UPnP/DLNA/SMB), and supports hardware video decoding for smooth high-definition playback. Full subtitle support, audio track switching, playback speed control, and gesture-based brightness and volume adjustment make it a complete media experience in your pocket.
