Pixeldrain alternative for sharing videos that play instantly

For a video, having to download it before watching is a hurdle: it uses data and space, makes people wait, and many leave before finishing. And with a file service you earn nothing for each person who watches.

On Dembed the video plays instantly in any browser, at a quality adapted to each connection, with your brand on the player, and every monetized view earns you money.

• You can allow downloads on each video: viewers choose to watch or download.
• Free viewers wait through a short countdown and Premium viewers download instantly.
• For files that aren’t video (ZIPs, software, documents) keep using a file service: Dembed only hosts video.

Before moving your library, compare these points on Pixeldrain and any other option. They’re the ones that most affect your audience and your earnings:

• How much they pay and how it’s calculated: Dembed shares the real ad revenue of each month with you based on your audience’s country, with a per-country breakdown in your dashboard.
• When you start earning: on Dembed every video earns from day one, with no subscriber or watch-hour minimums.
• Payout methods and minimum: Dembed pays via PayPal, USDT (TRC20), Payoneer or bank transfer from 25 USD.
• Viewer experience: ads in the player, no recommendations from other channels; viewers who don’t want ads can go Premium (their ad-free plays don’t earn money for the creator).
• Max size and uploading: files up to 5 GB (50 GB with Premium) uploaded straight to storage, resumable, several at a time.
• Your brand: player color, logo or watermark with a link, subtitles and a “Skip intro” button.
• Clear rules: Dembed doesn’t allow copyright-infringing content and has a report button on every video, which protects honest creators and advertisers.

Tip: if your files are MKV, upload them as MP4 (H.264 + AAC) so they have sound in every browser. Our guide to converting MKV to MP4 explains how.

1. 1Create your free Dembed account and confirm your email.
2. 2Download your original files from Pixeldrain (or use the copies on your computer).
3. 3Drag them into the Dembed dashboard: upload several at once and organize them in folders. Thumbnails and duration are generated automatically.
4. 4Customize the player once (color, logo, subtitles) and it applies to all your videos.
5. 5Replace the old links or iframes with Dembed’s on your site, blog or socials. From then on every monetized view adds to your balance.
