How to open a .ts file

A .ts is a TS file: Broadcast and camcorder stream format. VLC (free, everything), Windows Media Player, QuickTime, IINA open it. Or drop it below: it opens and converts in your browser, nothing to install.

🔒 Nothing is uploaded. Check the Network tab of your browser: it stays empty.

Three ways to open it

  1. Drop the .ts file above: it opens and converts right here, nothing to install.
  2. For a desktop app: VLC (free, everything), Windows Media Player, QuickTime, IINA.
  3. If it still will not open, convert it to MP4, that is what most people are really after.

Questions

What program opens a .ts file?

VLC (free, everything), Windows Media Player, QuickTime, IINA. Or drop it here, without installing anything.

Why won't my .ts open?

Either the viewer does not know TS (broadcast and camcorder stream format.), or the file is damaged or misnamed. Converting to MP4 fixes the first case.

Is it safe to open a .ts here?

Yes: the file is read in your browser and never leaves your device.
