IMGLAB Video Speed Control

Smart video speed controller with per-site memory, keyboard shortcuts, and frame-by-frame control.

IMGLAB Video Speed Control — watch smarter, not slower. Control playback speed on any website with a clean on-page overlay, fully remappable keyboard shortcuts, per-site speed memory that remembers your preference for every site you visit, and a smart block list to skip sites where speed control doesn't belong. ───────────────────────────────── CORE FEATURES ───────────────────────────────── ⚡ On-Page Speed Overlay A minimal floating controller appears on every video: [ − ] [ 1.50 ] [ + ] [ × ] Drag it anywhere. Double-click the speed number to instantly toggle between 1× and your preferred speed. No mouse wheel accidents. 🧠 Per-Site Speed Memory Each website remembers the last speed you used. YouTube at 1.75×, lecture sites at 2×, movies at 1×. Switch sites and your speed switches with you — automatically. ⌨️ Keyboard Shortcuts — All Remappable Speed up, slow down, reset, jump to preferred speed, or cycle through your favourites — all from the keyboard. Every key can be reassigned from the popup. Default shortcuts: X — Decrease speed C — Increase speed Z — Reset to 1× V — Jump to preferred speed B — Cycle through favourite speeds H — Show / hide overlay 🔁 Cycle Mode Set up your favourite speeds (e.g. 1.25× → 1.5× → 1.75×) and tap B to rotate through them instantly. 🎞️ Frame-by-Frame Stepping Pause any video and step through it one frame at a time using , and . Perfect for analysing footage, catching a moment, or reviewing a move. 🚫 Block List Some sites use custom video pipelines incompatible with speed control (TikTok is a known example). The built-in block list lets you exclude any site with one click — the extension simply stays out of the way. Popular sites are suggested, or add your own custom domains anytime. 🎛️ Fully Configurable Open the popup to set your preferred speed, step size, min/max limits, cycle speeds list, and controller opacity. Everything is saved and synced across your Chrome browsers. ───────────────────────────────── YOUTUBE — PLAYS NICE ───────────────────────────────── On YouTube, the extension is smart enough to stay out of the way. Space, arrow keys, comma, and period are left entirely to YouTube's own handlers — so seek animations, progress bar updates, and keyboard UI all work exactly as YouTube intended. The extension only manages speed keys on YouTube. YouTube's single-page navigation is fully supported: the overlay and speed settings follow you from video to video without a page reload. ───────────────────────────────── PRIVACY ───────────────────────────────── We collect absolutely nothing. No analytics, no tracking, no servers. Your settings are stored locally on your device using Chrome's built-in storage.
