사파리 확장 프로그램이라 좋아오

사파리용 pip 확장 프로그램이라 개인정보 걱정없이 유튜브 로그인해서 사옹하면 됩니다. 무로인데 마음에 들어서 소액 후원함

iPadOS26系での使用注意

iPadOS26（多分iOS26も）系は動画をピクチャーインピクチャーで再生中、Safari以外のアプリを手前にすると、映像は継続再生するが音が止まる。
止まった位置によっては、大音量の雑音を流し続ける。
メールにて問い合わせたが、プライバシーポリシーのページが404だし、もうサポートしない可能性あり。
尚、iOS18、iPadOS18系では今もそのような事はなく、使用可能。ん

FAQ

What does PiPifier do?

PiPifier is a Safari Action extension that allows you to use any HTML5 web video in Picture-in-Picture (PiP) mode. This means you can watch videos in a small, floating window while using other apps or browsing the web.

How do I enable PiPifier?

To enable PiPifier, open Safari, tap the 'aA' icon in the address bar to access the Webtools Menu, select 'Manage Extensions', and then toggle 'PiPifier' on. Once enabled, you can select PiPifier on any website with a video to activate PiP mode.

Can PiPifier work on all websites?

Yes, PiPifier is designed to work with all HTML5 videos, which encompasses most web videos on iOS. It is particularly useful for sites that normally hide native video controls, preventing you from enabling PiP mode through standard means.

Is PiPifier free to use?

The app is free to download and use. However, it does offer in-app purchases, suggesting there might be premium features or options available for users who wish to enhance their experience.

What devices is PiPifier compatible with?

PiPifier is an Action extension for Safari on iOS devices. This means it is compatible with iPhones and iPads running a version of iOS that supports Safari extensions and Picture-in-Picture functionality.
