# Seedr

> Seedr is a cloud fetching and media playback platform. Paste a link, Seedr fetches it to cloud servers at gigabit speeds, and you play or save from any device. No software to install. Free tier (2GB, no credit card). Paid plans from $3.95/mo to $139/mo with up to 10TB storage and 4K playback.

Seedr is built by Velvet Software LTD. Operating since 2015, trusted by over 2 million users worldwide. Available in 12 languages.

## What Seedr Does

Seedr is a cloud-based download and streaming platform. Users paste links into a browser interface. Seedr's servers download the files at datacenter speeds, store them in the user's cloud library, and make them available for streaming or download from any device.

### Cloud Fetching
Files are fetched to Seedr's servers at gigabit+ speeds, not to the user's device. Transfers run 24/7 regardless of whether the user's device is on. No software, no configuration, no router configuration.

### Built-in Streaming and Media Player
Stream video, audio, and documents directly in the browser. The player supports virtually every format — MKV, AVI, MP4, MOV, WebM, WMV, FLV, and more. HLS adaptive bitrate streaming adjusts quality automatically. Streaming quality ranges from 360p (free) to 4K/2160p (Master plan and above).

### Universal Format Support
Automatic server-side transcoding handles H.264, H.265/HEVC, VP8, VP9, AV1, MPEG, and virtually all container formats. MKV files with multiple audio tracks and subtitle tracks are fully supported — switch audio language or subtitle track during playback. Subtitle formats: SRT, VTT, ASS/SSA, PGS.

### Privacy
The user's IP never connects to download sources. Seedr downloads server-side on its own infrastructure. 256-bit AES encryption at rest. HTTPS TLS 1.2/1.3 in transit. Two-factor authentication (TOTP). Antivirus scanning on paid plans.

### No Installation Required
Entirely browser-based. Works on any device with a web browser. Progressive Web App (PWA) on iOS 12+ and Android 5+ with native Share Sheet integration — send links to Seedr from any app in two taps.
