PiP.Pro
YouTube Premium charges $13.99/month and still doesn't give you a proper desktop PiP experience. PiP.Pro delivers everything YouTube Premium can't — true always-on-top floating, Ghost Mode, Smart Playlists, and built-in search — completely free for Windows PC.
YouTube Premium is excellent on mobile — background play, no ads, offline downloads. On desktop it is a different story. The browser PiP it provides is bare: no transparency control, no playlist management, no dedicated search. It is the browser's generic PiP API with a YouTube logo on it.
PiP.Pro was built specifically for desktop — the same rock-solid float, plus a desktop layer that stays exactly where you put it and adds the features YouTube's own desktop experience has always been missing.
The browser's rock-solid float, plus a real desktop layer on top — stays over every application, never flickers, never hides.
Dial YouTube's opacity from 100% to nearly invisible. Watch through your spreadsheet. Not a feature that exists in any YouTube subscription tier.
Queue, reorder, and loop videos inside the player. YouTube Premium on desktop still sends you back to the browser to manage your queue.
Search YouTube directly in PiP.Pro without opening a browser tab. A feature YouTube's own desktop experience still doesn't offer.
Sign in with Google at pip.pro. Completely free for Windows PC, full access from the first second.
Download PiP.Pro and install the Chrome extension. Lightweight and fast.
Click PiP on any YouTube video. Your floating window stays on top of everything, forever.

"Ghost Mode alone is incredible — and it's free. I watch YouTube reference videos at 25% opacity while I edit. YouTube Premium has nothing like this."
"Built-in search is the killer feature for me. I find and play videos without ever touching my browser. Premium just can't do that on desktop."
Full access, every feature. PiP.Pro is completely free for Windows PC — no subscription, no payment.

YouTube Premium does not provide a dedicated desktop Picture-in-Picture application. Its desktop PiP is the browser's bare built-in float: no transparency control, no playlists, no search. PiP.Pro builds on that same float and, with the free desktop app, adds Ghost Mode transparency, Smart Playlists, and built-in search, always on top.
For desktop Picture-in-Picture specifically, PiP.Pro offers significantly more functionality than YouTube Premium. PiP.Pro includes Ghost Mode transparency, Smart Playlists, built-in search, and a true always-on-top window. YouTube Premium on desktop relies on the browser PiP API which lacks all of these features.
YouTube Premium costs $13.99 per month. PiP.Pro is completely free for Windows PC — no subscription, no payment — and provides a better desktop PiP experience.
Yes. PiP.Pro works with both free YouTube accounts and YouTube Premium accounts. If you have Premium, PiP.Pro adds the desktop floating window features that Premium lacks.
Browser PiP on its own is bare: no transparency, no playlists, no search. PiP.Pro builds on that same rock-solid float and, with the free desktop app, adds Ghost Mode, Smart Playlists, and built-in search, always on top and freely resizable.
