Running a high-converting VSL? Uncheck the progress scrubber, playback speed, or volume controls so viewers watch your message exactly as intended.
See the exact second viewers pause, skip ahead, or rewind and rewatch. Isolate any individual viewer by IP or filter by city and country.
Drop raw MOV, MP4, or MKV files in batches. R2Vid automatically optimizes them to fast-start H.264 MP4 right in your browser before uploading.
Organize courses, client projects, and sales funnels into color-coded folders. Bulk-move, sort, or disable embed links instantly with one click.
Your R2 bucket stays completely private. R2Vid signs short-lived streaming URLs on the fly so unauthorized scrapers can’t steal your raw video files.
No Docker containers, no VPS command-line headaches, and no complex database configuration.
Drop the lightweight R2Vid files onto any standard PHP hosting account (Hostinger, SiteGround, cPanel, or your own domain). It creates its own database automatically.
Paste a single Cloudflare R2 token. R2Vid automatically creates your private video bucket, configures browser CORS rules, and links your storage keys.
Drag in a single video or an entire folder of lessons, pick your player style, and paste the responsive iframe onto WordPress, Webflow, Kajabi, or custom HTML.
Pay once, host on your own site, and never pay another monthly video hosting bill again.

Cloudflare R2 includes 10 GB of storage free every month and charges $0.00 for bandwidth/egress—no matter how many thousands of people watch your videos. Above 10 GB, storage is just $0.015 per GB/month.
Any standard PHP 8+ web hosting plan works out of the box (including shared hosting like Hostinger, Namecheap, or SiteGround). Because videos stream directly from Cloudflare R2 to your viewers, your web host barely uses any bandwidth.
Because you host R2Vid on your own domain and connect your own Cloudflare R2 bucket, we don’t have to mark up your video storage or bandwidth every month. You pay once for the software and own your setup forever.
Yes. With one click you can uncheck the progress scrubber, playback speed selector, or even pause controls on a per-video basis—or set it as the global default for all your videos.
