9 of the best free movie download sites for 2024

Downloading movies for free from the internet is kind of a gray area. As tempting as it may be, most free movie download sites are super-illegal, and you could get in some trouble if you grab a flick or TV series from one of the many illegitimate free services littering the web.  

How can you tell which ones are for real? One big sign is the kinds of movies you’ll be able to download. If moviesarefreedude.com (we made that up) is offering the latest Marvel blockbuster for download before it hits VOD platforms, Blu-ray, or DVD, there’s like a 99.9% chance that site is up to no good.

We don’t want anyone behind bars — or paying hefty   fines — for something as simple as watching a flick. So we’ve rounded up the best free movie download sites and corresponding apps that are 100% legit, as well as some of the best streaming services that allow you to download titles for offline viewing.

• Netflix free trial: Can you stream for free in 2024?

Streaming platforms like Netflix and a handful of other popular streaming services give paying subscribers the ability to download movies and series for offline viewing, but there’s a bit of a caveat: These offline downloads are only “offline” within the platform’s mobile or desktop app, meaning you won’t actually be able to download the movie to your device.

As far as Netflix downloads go , there are a few other limitations to consider. For starters, offline movies and shows are capped at 15 downloads per device per calendar month for ad-supported Netflix plans . Ad-free users can have up to 100 active downloads at a time per device, up to however many devices your plan supports. Certain movies and shows cannot be downloaded, titles will automatically be removed from your downloads after a week or so, and some movies and shows can only be downloaded a specific number of times per year.

Now that we’ve covered all that ground, we can praise Netflix for its amazing selection of movies and shows. You’ll even be able to filter search results for titles that can be downloaded. Once a movie is finished downloading, head to your downloads page in the Netflix app, find the title you want to watch, and select Play.  

We also dig some of Netflix’s download automations. When enabled, features like Smart Downloads will automatically add new episodes of shows and recommended content to your download queue. You’ll even be able to adjust the quality of your downloads (but only when using the Netflix app on iOS and Android devices).  

• Amazon Prime Video

Amazon Prime Video has been around for a minute, and if you’re paying $140 annually for this perk-packed membership, you’ll have the ability to download movies and shows for offline viewing. While these aren’t official downloads that can be stored on your PC, in a cloud, or on an SD card, you’ll be able to access downloaded titles without an internet connection by simply heading to the downloads page in the Prime Video app.

Prime Video also lets you download movies and shows you’ve either purchased or rented (Freevee titles excluded), as well as streaming-only selections. Purchased downloads can be stored on up to four devices, while streaming-only downloads are limited to two. Offline downloads must be completed through the Prime Video app, which is available for iOS and Android devices, Windows, and macOS.  

Conveniently, Amazon Prime Video  will let you filter searches for movies and shows that can be downloaded. Once you select a film, episode, or entire season, just tap or click the Download button (located below the player window, or next to an episode description).  

Another of the big streaming platforms, Hulu is a safe and secure service that allows downloads for offline viewing with a number of its plans. This includes 25 active downloads per device on up to five devices. Do keep in mind if you’re an ad-supported Hulu user, the download feature won’t be available. And like Netflix and Prime Video, not all movies and shows can be downloaded. In fact, premium add-on and Live TV on-demand content is completely off limits.  

To download a movie or show, you’ll need to be using the Hulu app on an iOS, Android, or Amazon Fire TV device. Tap Downloads from the list of menu options. You can also tap See What’s Downloadable to see what movies and shows can be saved for offline viewing. To download a movie, tap the Download icon on the Details page. To download an episode of a show, tap Episodes , then tap the Download icon next to the episode description.

Unwatched Hulu downloads will automatically be removed from your download queue after 30 days, and you’ll have up to 48 hours to finish a movie or episode once you’ve started it. You’ll also be able to renew certain expired downloads by tapping Downloads > the alert icon (an exclamation point with a circle around it) > Renew Download .  

The home of all things Mickey Mouse, Boba Fett, and Homer Simpson, Disney+ is another great streaming platform with a download option . But are you ready for the caveats? (Don’t worry, there aren’t too many).  

Like Netflix, Prime Video, and Hulu, downloads for offline viewing are not available to Disney+ Basic plan subscribers. You’ll need to have a Disney+ Premium , Disney Bundle Trio Premium, or Legacy Disney Bundle to take advantage of this feature. Oh, and if you’re a Hulu subscriber with a linked standalone plan to Disney+ (or a Disney Bundle subscriber), you’ll also be able to download select Hulu (No Ads) movies and shows for offline viewing.  

To download a movie or show you want to watch , you’ll need to be using the Disney+ app on an iOS or Android device. Once you’ve found the title you want to download, tap Download on the Details page to start the download. One thing we love about offline downloads for Disney+ is you can store an unlimited amount of downloaded content, on up to 10 different devices. Just be sure to log in once or twice per month, as downloads will automatically be removed from inactive Disney+ accounts after 30 days.

YouTube can be a never-ending rabbit hole of silly pet videos, guitar covers, world news, and pretty much anything else you can think of. Fortunately, the popular Google property lets you download a number of these uploads for offline viewing.

There’s a catch though: You’ll need to be a YouTube Premium subscriber , which costs $14 per month for PC web browsers and the Android version of the YouTube app. If you own an iPhone or iPad, the cost goes up to $19 per month, because YouTube bundles in Apple’s in-app transaction fee.  

You can store downloads on up to 10 devices. If you add a new device to your plan, the oldest of your 10 existing devices will be removed. You can perform this swap-out up to four times per year. To begin a download, simply find the movie, show, or user upload you want to watch, then click or tap the Download icon. To view dowloaded content, tap your YouTube profile icon, and select a title from the Downloads dashboard.

You’ll also be able to download movies and shows you’ve purchased or rented from YouTube for offline viewing — without needing a YouTube Premium account. Unfortunately, offline viewing doesn’t extend to YouTube’s free movie collection.

Library of Congress

A bastion of cultural significance, the Library of Congress (LOC), in partnership with the National Film Registry , curates a yearly section of movies that “showcase the range and diversity of American film heritage.” For 2024, the collection only features 18 films, but you couldn’t ask for an easier interface to use.

After selecting one of the films, you’ll be brought to a video player page. Use the playback controls by hovering over the film thumbnail. Credits, release dates, and format info can be found by scrolling down past the player. You’ll also see a small Download dropdown. Click or tap this option to choose between an MP4 or MOV for your export file. Click Go , and the film will open in a new tab.

To save the movie to your computer, right-click, then click Download Video or Download Video As… to choose an export location on your PC. We were able to use the Download dropdown on an iPhone too, but once the film opens in a new tab, there isn’t a way to actually save it to your mobile device.  

PublicDomainMovie.net

We explicitly advise against downloading copyrighted material to a PC or mobile device. So if you’d like to venture away from the big streaming titans like Netflix, Disney+, and YouTube, your best bet for legal free downloads are public domain films. And one of the best sites for this kind of material is PublicDomainMovie.net (PDM).  

Unlike most of the other services we’ve mentioned thus far, PDM will actually let you download films directly to your PC. Numerous genre filters take up the top of the home page, with page after page of titles to choose from. If you’re on a PC, click the Download icon to open the video player in a new tab. Then right-click and choose Download Video or Download Video As … to choose a location on your machine.  

You can also view movies offline using a smartphone or tablet, even though you won’t be able to save the title directly to your mobile device; just make sure the video player page for the movie you’d like to watch is pre-loaded on your web browser. We tested playback out by enabling Airplane Mode, and we were able to play, pause, rewind, and fast-forward our chosen film.  

Perhaps the only drawback with PDM is its curation is limited to older films only. But if you’re a Hollywood Golden Age fan, or discerning arthouse viewer, you’ll be quite pleased with the selections.  

Internet Archive

Similar to PublicDomainMovie.net, the Internet Archive site is just what it sounds like: a handsome collection of royalty-free films that you can sort by genre, era, subject, and many other filters. The Internet Archive actually provides public domain films to sites like PublicDomainMovie and similar free-to-download pages.  

  There are thousands of selections on the Internet Archive, and every film gets its own title page, complete with synopsis, cast and crew credits, and a handy Downloads sub-menu with several file types to choose from. The download process is identical to the PublicDomainMovie site. Choose the file extension you’d like to export with. Once the player opens in a new window, right-click and choose Download Video or Download Video As…  

Far more than just a movie trove, you can also download books, music, games, images, and software.  

Here’s a unique option for all our indie film lovers, foreign cinema devotees, and arthouse fans. For $11 per month (or $96 annually), a Mubi subscription gives you access to a library of over 800 films. Many of these titles can be downloaded for offline viewing, but you’ll need to be using the Mubi mobile app to do so.  

To download a film, simply select the title and tap the Download icon from the Details page (located under the video player). Movies you’ve downloaded will be housed in the Your Offline Films dashboard. Mubi even lets you choose the download quality of these offline films.

If you like dishing out discourse about your cinephile habits, Mubi is more than just a streamer and download hub: It’s a community forum for film lovers, too, so comment, debate, and critique to your heart’s content!

Paramount Plus isn’t as big as some of the best live TV streaming services, but it has a lot of content people constantly want to binge or check in on. It’s home to the Yellowstone universe of shows, and every month what’s new on Paramount Plus includes a large variety of movies. Paramount Plus is a great standalone streaming service to turn to if you’re looking for something to watch. It comes in at a more affordable monthly price than most streaming services, costing just $6 per month or $12 per month when bundled with Showtime. But there are still ways to save on a Paramount Plus subscription, with several Paramount Plus deals to consider. Below you’ll find everything you need to know. How to sign up to Paramount Plus for free for a week The best way to go about watching Paramount Plus for free is by utilizing the Paramount Plus free trial. This is a pretty easy free week of access to claim, as all you have to do is sign up for a Paramount Plus account. The free trial is good for seven days, and it will give you full access to either the Paramount Plus Essential plan, which is regularly $6 per month, or the Paramount Plus with Showtime plan, which regularly costs $12 per month. Utilizing the Paramount Plus free trial is a great way to watch a particular sports event without having to commit to a monthly subscription, or to simply explore the Paramount Plus library to ensure there’s enough you’d like to watch before subscribing.

How to get a discount on a Paramount Plus subscription If you're a student you can enjoy 25% off a Paramount Plus Essential monthly subscription. To do so, you simply need to verify your student credentials. You'll need to be a college or university student currently enrolled at an accredited, Title IV higher education institution to qualify. How to save on your Paramount Plus annual subscription An annual Paramount Plus subscription is a valid option if you're in it for the long term, as extended subscription will grant you some savings. Anyone who signs up for the Paramount Plus Essential plan for a year pays just $50 while the Premium plan costs $100. It works out as cheaper than subscribing on a monthly basis.

While TVs are great, if you want to have a large screen TV that goes over 80 inches, you're liable to spend thousands of dollars, and if you want to go over 100 inches, you may not even find any options at all, especially at the consumer level. Luckily, there are a lot of great projectors that can not only hit those targets but exceed them and do it at a much cheaper cost than a regular TV. Even better, there is quite a big sale right now at Crutchfield on home theater projectors, with everything from budget-friendly options to top-of-the-range stuff.

What you should buy in Crutchfield's projector sale Not all projectors have to be incredibly expensive, and you can grab a great project for a good price with the Optoma HZ40HDR, which is , saving you a solid $450 in the process. It's an FHD projector, although it can handle 4k and HDR sources,  and the bulb has a 30,000-hour life span, which is pretty great for a budget-oriented projector. On the other hand, if you want 4k, Optomo has a good budget option for that too, the Optoma UHD35STx, which is a 4k short-throw projector with HDR10 and HLG HDR going , which isn't a massive discount on the usual $1,549, but it's still pretty good.

Shopping the best headphone deals will turn up a number of options from a wide variety of headphone brands, but if you’re interested in what Apple has to offer in terms of premium audio, the Apple AirPods Max are where you’ll want to turn. The AirPods Max are Apple’s top-of-the-line headphones, and while they churn out some impressive audio experiences, they also churn out a hefty price point. With the rumors of AirPods Max 2 going on you’ll be able to find some decent AirPods Max deals out there. We’ve done that hefty lifting for you, however, and have laid out the best AirPods Max deals below. You’ll find deals on both new and refurbished AirPods Max, but click quickly if one of these deals works for you, as Apple deals can be unpredictable and we don’t know how long these will last. AirPods Max -- $519, were $549

The AirPods Max are Apple's first attempt at a set of over-the-ear headphones. They got a lot of things right. We love these headphones, even when compared against some audiophile options that prioritize sound quality. The AirPods Max have awesome noise cancelling. Everything Apple learned with the earbud-style AirPods works even better with the cup style of the AirPods Max. Along with great ANC comes a great transparency mode. With a twist of the Max's massive knob, you'll go from complete silence to feeling like you're not wearing headphones at all. The audio on phone calls is great as well, and they pair better with the iPhone than any non-Apple headphones could ever hope to.

While YouTube remains the biggest source of online video on the web, it has slowly been investing more in original programming and exploring new revenue streams. You can rent most of the new movies on YouTube. However, you’ll be surprised to know that the website offers more than 350 feature films for free streaming.

With a mission of “universal access to all knowledge,” The Internet Archive acts like a savior in many cases – it lets you access blocked sites , open offline websites, and see how a website has evolved over the years. But where does it fit in our list of websites to download or stream free content?

Hotstar also hosts exclusive movie premiers for Indian movies on its platform but you need to be a paying customer of Hotstar.

6.  Le CiNéMa Club

Earlier this year, the highly-curated Indie film streaming site Le CiNéMa Club was relaunched with a redesigned interface. First launched in 2015, the website aims to promote new talent and provide exposure to rare gems that don’t get the attention they deserve.

The website is known to stream one new film each week and is open to contributions from filmmakers. While most of the content you’ll find on the site is of short-film nature, the website is open to features of any length. The site has notably streamed  Claire Denis’ ultra-rare “Keep It for Yourself” in the past. At the time of writing this article, the website is streaming Diddly Squat by Frank Lebon.

Crackle is a great website for free movies online, as it’s owned by Sony. So, naturally, you get lots of movies to watch. You need to signup, create a watchlist, and you’ll be shown recommendations based on your priorities.

Crackle offers lots of popular movies and TV shows that you won’t find for free on other websites. As long as you are willing to watch a couple of ads and commercials. Some of its great offerings include Seinfeld, Firefly, Sports Jeopardy, and more. Crackle has Android and iOS apps as well, which is an obvious plus point.

Pluto TV tries to mimic a traditional TV layout and it’s one of my favorite services on this list. This service to watch free movies online offers 75+ TV channels from different categories. All these channels are divided into news, TV, movies, tech, sports, and other popular sections.

Pluto TV also offers its official application for almost all popular platforms and you can enjoy the content on the go. They also have their own dedicated movie channel.

If I call NoBudge a one-person project, I won’t be wrong. Founded by indie filmmaker and actor Kentucker Audley, this website is dedicated to independent short and feature films. Most of the movies on NoBudge haven’t been much seen or reviewed by the critics, so you’ll have to stream them without any assistance of any kind. However, since each money is personally selected by Audley, the chances of stumbling on a bad movie are slim.

What we like about NoBudge?

Many of you might not be knowing that Yidio movie site’s full name is Your Internet Video. If I talk about the complete library of content available on Yidio, this online video guide contains more than 1 million TV shows and movies. The users can sign up on the website and add movies to the watchlist section for later viewing. This feature is very useful for maintaining your collection of favorite movies.

Moving on to the free part, you can choose the free filter at the top and categorize all the content in one place. On the right, there are options to sort content by popularity, date, and genre. Moreover, you also get the option to sort the free movies by R, PG-13, PG, G, NR, and NC-17 rating.

Most websites that we have included in the list will help you in watching your favorite movies and TV for free. But all the anime fans out there, do not worry; I didn’t forget about you. Crunchyroll is the got to place for most top-notch anime releasing around the year. In addition to that, the website also features a plethora of manga.

As of now, Crunchyroll is home to over 1000 anime series divided among various genres. However, not too long ago, the anime streaming site didn’t have any way to watch anime for free on it. Fortunately, the website is now providing a 14-day free trial to new users. As a result, the free trial can be used to watch anime for free in a completely legal way.

What we like about Crunchyroll?

• A wide range of anime available tailored to everyone’s taste
• User-friendly interface and easy to navigate

What we didn’t like about Crunchyroll:

• Not every anime is available in South Asian countries

Availability: Everywhere but with some restrictions

Are you in the mood to watch some documentaries? Then how about a website which has over 5000 films in the same genre? Yes, that pretty much describes what Films For Action offers. Moreover, the website offers these films free of cost.

Another good feature of the site is that it lets the users add new content to the library. The cherry on top is the fact that users can also rate the content which is available on it. So it helps in keeping the rankings fresh and free of boring content.

What we like about Films For Action?

• A huge library perfect for documentary lovers
• Ability to add new content
• Users can rank existing content to keep it fresh
• No ads to annoy while streaming

What we didn’t like about Films For Action:

• Not a good option for casual cinephiles

As the name suggests, the website’s main motive is to provide its audience with as many documentaries as possible for free. Evidently, the site offers documentaries for a plethora of genres. From 9/11 to Sports, you can find plenty of content on it.

If there’s one thing that we’d like to be changed is its theme. To be honest, the boring interface may direct many users away from the site. Additionally, the ads placement could have been better.

What we like about Watch Documentaries?

• Excellent choice of categories
• Free streaming with no hidden charges

What we didn’t like about Watch Documentaries:

• Too many ads

There are tons of legal torrent websites out there that only share content that’s in the public domain. You can visit these safe torrent sites to download movies and watch them offline at your convenience. But be cautious about not indulging in downloading movies from illegal torrent links.

As linked earlier in the article, you can also visit our list of best apps for streaming free movies .

Tip: Most of these websites don’t provide subtitle download functionality, which could be a major downside for many viewers. If that’s the case, you can head over to our list of best subtitle websites and download subtitles. You can also use VLC media player’s VLSub extension to automatically load subtitles of your choice.

As we are well into 2024, the landscape of online movie streaming continues to evolve, offering a plethora of options for cinephiles of all tastes. From the comprehensive list of 20 top sites for downloading and streaming movies, it’s clear that the best platform for you depends on your specific cinematic cravings. For love of timeless classics, The Internet Archive and Watch TCM stand out as prime destinations, offering a dive into the golden age of cinema. Indie film enthusiasts will enjoy exploring Kanopy and Le CiNéMa Club.

Given the increase in the global appreciation for anime has made Crunchyroll an indispensable resource for fans, offering an extensive catalog of anime titles, making it one of the best websites to watch free movies . Meanwhile, documentary watchers looking to explore real-world stories and issues have robust resources in Films For Action and Watch Documentaries, each providing insightful content that challenges and educates.

How To Access All These Sites Using VPN in 2024?

While most of the websites on this list can be accessed anywhere in the world, some of them are restricted to countries like the USA, the UK, or India. In such cases, using a VPN service comes in handy to remove geographical restrictions. Herer’s what one needs to do:

• Get a VPN service like NordVPN, ExpressVPN, or Surfshark.
• Download it as a desktop app, a smartphone app, or a browser extension.
• Connect your VPN to a country where movie website is available to use freely.
• Now open the movie service and enjoy!

Free Movie Download FAQs:

There isn’t a particular test that you can perform to confirm that the site from which you’re downloading is providing legal movies. However, we’ve tested and made sure that all the sources in our list are 100% legal. Additionally, you can see if the free site is providing newly released movies and trying to earn money via tons of advertisements and VPN recommendations — these are some of the red flags for an illegal source.

If you’re sure that you’re using a legal website to download movies, you don’t need a VPN or proxy to hide your online activity.

If you have a paid Netflix subscription, you can go ahead and download content on your Android or iOS smartphone. For Windows, you need to download the official Netflix app. However, there’s no app available for watching/downloading Netflix on Mac.

You can download free movies from several websites such as Pluto Tv, Crackle, Yify Movies, Open Culture, and more. For the complete list, refer to the article above.

The 15 Best Sites to Watch Movies for Free (Legally!)

Looking for the best free online movie streaming sites? Here's where you can watch free and legal movies anytime you like.

Although free movie streaming might sound synonymous with piracy, there are loads of legal free movie websites on the internet. These are packed full of movies you can stream for free without breaking the law.

Whether you're looking for movies or TV shows, finding free videos to stream is totally feasible; it just requires that you know where to look. With that in mind, here are the best free online movie streaming sites to check out.

What to Expect From Free Movie Streaming Sites

There are a ton of free, legal videos online, so you'll find a great mix of options on the below services. A healthy amount of the movies available to stream for free are in the public domain. Because these films have lapsed in ownership and fallen into common property, many sites host such video treasures.

But it isn't just B-movies available to stream online; you'll also find many big-budget releases. Usually, these are ad-supported, so like watching a movie on TV, you'll have to sit through limited commercials. Nevertheless, the movies are usually presented uncut.

You shouldn't expect to see the latest releases. Instead, you'll mostly see movies dating back anywhere from a few months to many years. Additionally, some sites include original productions and amateur films.

To watch on the go, don't forget to also install some of the best free movie apps on your phone.

It's no surprise that YouTube ranks among the best free movie streaming sites you can find. It offers a ton of free films to pick from, including many public domain films from channels such as the aptly titled Public Domain Films .

Furthermore, channels like Popcornflix host full movies via YouTube, and you'll find an official Free to Watch section in YouTube's Movies & Shows hub. There's a fantastic mix, with everything from classic comedies to sports and much more. It's a far cry from channels that only offer movies from the 1950s you've never heard of.

You may have to dig a bit for what you want to watch. But for those with patience, YouTube is a treasure trove of free, legal movies to stream.

Boasting a solid array of syndicated content and its own productions, Crackle is a must for any film buff . Its rotating selection varies, but you'll find quality movies across genres here.

Aside from films, Crackle features television shows, including original programming. And by making a free account, you can enjoy Crackle on your TV too.

3. Midnight Pulp

Midnight Pulp is the new home of the defunct CONtv It features live TV, shows, and movies. The selection is a bit wild, consisting largely of horror, offbeat comedies, cheesy action, and Asian films. Some content requires a subscription, but a lot of what's here is available to watch for free.

While Vudu is known for its digital video rentals and sales, it has a sizable selection of free movies to stream too. With a comprehensive array of movies and TV shows, plus fresh additions arriving regularly, it's a fantastic service.

Vudu's free section operates similarly to Crackle by providing full movies with limited commercials. Through hosting films with ads, Vudu is able to offer free movies and TV shows legally.

You need to register for a free Vudu account to use this service, but it's worth doing so. Once you do, you can use your account to activate digital copies of movies and shows, as well as buy and rent movies from Vudu.

5. Popcornflix

Like Crackle, Popcornflix presents full movies with limited ads. Here, you'll find a range of movies in a rotating selection, and there's no account required to start watching. The service even offers some original content, to boot.

Flicks are segmented into genres that are more unique than the standard ones, such as Out for Revenge and Medieval Action . With a beefy lineup and easy navigation, Popcornflix is an awesome choice for free, legal movie streaming.

Providing free movies and shows, Tubi is another fantastic service for legal movie streams. Here, you'll be able to view newer movies from as recent as 2022, as well as older favorites.

Helpfully, Tubi offers a Leaving Soon category. This lets you prioritize your streaming queue so you can catch movies and shows before they disappear. Be sure to check out the First Time on Tubi collection, too.

7. Pluto TV

Pluto TV has a lot to offer. You'll find a Live TV section where you can switch between channels, much like traditional cable. Switch to the Live TV section on the left side to jump to channels that only play films, though they may be in the middle of something depending on when you start watching.

If you can't find something that you like on the live stations, switch to the On Demand section at the top. Here you'll find tons of free movies you can start streaming right away.

8. Classic Cinema Online

As the name suggests, Classic Cinema Online focuses on older content. Even its website aesthetic captures a decidedly retro vibe, using a backdrop of red theater curtains. You can walk through the decades here with films from the 1930s to the 1960s. There are even some silent films on offer, if you're interested in those.

Some of the inclusions may have you calling the definition of "classic cinema" into question. Nevertheless, Classic Cinema Online is pure gold for old-school movies and one of the best sites for public domain films .

Hoopla has one barrier to entry, but is still an easy way to legally watch movies online for free. To use Hoopla, you'll need to create an account and link your supported public library card.

Once you do, you can use Hoopla to borrow movies and TV shows, plus audiobooks and ebooks, from your library's collection. The service is available on the web as well as apps for all your devices and TV streaming boxes.

If you don't have a library card or your library doesn't support Hoopla, you won't be able to use it. But if you can, it's a service worth checking out.

Although Yidio isn't a video host, it does act as an excellent aggregator of free streaming movies and TV shows. The way Yidio works is by redirecting you to third-party services such as Amazon Prime, Netflix, and others. As such, certain films and shows here do require a subscription.

Using the Free filter on the left side will help you find movies and TV that come at no cost. Unfortunately, not everything in the free categories is actually free. Clicking on some titles prompts you to sign up for a free trial.

Still, Yidio makes finding free movie streams far easier than checking individual sites manually. You can filter by rating, genre, and more to find something to watch.

11. The Roku Channel

Don't be fooled by The Roku Channel's name. While it's available for Roku streaming devices via an app, you can watch on the web too. With a few clicks, you can stream Roku Originals, popular TV shows, and new-arrival movies.

The selection rotates, and there are categories on the main page to help you find something you'll enjoy. As expected, you'll have to sit through ads, but ad-supported means free, right?

Libraries are most often associated with books, but that's not all they provide. Kanopy, like Hoopla mentioned above, lets you stream tons of "thoughtful entertainment" movies for free, making it another great way to get free content with a participating library card (or university login).

With either of those, you can watch hundreds of free movies. These include a lot of documentaries and international films, so this is a great fit for those who want something a little different.

13. Amazon Freevee

Amazon Freevee (formerly IMDb TV) lets you enjoy free movies on Amazon Video. The service launched in 2019 and while its name has changed, the experience has remained the same. It allows anyone with a free account to watch a selection of free movies and TV shows. In addition to watching online, you can enjoy this content on your Fire TV, Xbox, PlayStation, and other streaming devices.

Alongside the movies, you'll also find some TV series (including live channels) and originals to enjoy.

14. Free Movies Cinema

As the name suggests, Free Movies Cinema features legal free movie streaming. Unlike many sites, the selection touts not only general categories like action and comedy, but also short films and features.

There's also a collection of fan-made movies, such as Portal and Watch Dogs, based on video games of the same names.

15. Top Documentary Films

If you're looking for free documentaries, you'll find plenty at Top Documentary Films. It packs a varied selection, including amateur documentaries you might not have heard about before.

Browse the Top 100 documentaries to find something that's popular, or take a look at recently added movies or the various genres to drill down a bit.

The Best Free Movie Sites for Everyone

With these free online movie streaming sites, you now know where to look for hundreds of free movies. Enjoy these legal films anytime, anywhere so you never go without something to watch.

Meanwhile, you should also know how to legally download movies for offline use, so you can enjoy them on your next flight or long trip.

Best Free Movie Streaming Sites No Sign Up Required in 2022

Watching movies and TV shows on-demand is certainly a great way to unwind. However, combining several premium-priced streaming services can easily turn into a significant monthly expense. So, what about free movie streaming sites?

You'll be surprised to know that a very nice selection of movie streaming sites offer their content completely free of charge. Some of those don't even require you to sign-up. And even more importantly, many of those come with big-budget movies.

Therefore, if you think that free movie streaming sites only bring black-and-white movies, you're quite wrong. Maybe they don't have the latest blockbusters, but the situation has dramatically changed in the last couple of years.

We've set out to find truly the best free-of-charge movie-streaming websites. This means that we've tested a whole bunch of those, checked their libraries, made sure to check for any access restrictions, and more.

In addition, we're also going to answer plenty of frequently asked questions.

17 Best Free Movie Streaming Sites With No Sign-Up Required

The following 17 websites let you watch plenty of full movies online for free, and they don't even require you to sign-up. Just click on a movie and start playing, as simple as that.

1. Sony Crackle

Sony Crackle is available in the USA and Australia, free of charge. In other regions (Latin America, the Caribbean), the service is premium-priced, and it's blocked in the rest of the world. We recommend using ExpressVPN , as this VPN can easily unblock Sony Crackle outside the USA no matter where in the world you are.

Now owned by Sony, Crackle is a completely free source of amazing movies and TV shows. Aside from bringing a highly polished UI, it features an exciting library of titles.

Even though you won't find the latest blockbusters here, you'll find several newer and older titles that definitely deserve your attention. Some of these are exclusive to Crackle, so you won't find those anywhere else.

Aside from bringing almost every classic movie imaginable, newly-released content will appeal to those looking for recent cinematography creations. Just like with Netflix and other movie streaming services, keep in mind that the content can be available for a limited time.

And finally, this website is supported by ads, meaning that you can expect periodic interruptions during your stream - which aren't that annoying, to be completely fair.

2. The Roku Channel

The Roku Channel is available in the United States and the United Kingdom. However, if you connect to a VPN server using ExpressVPN , you can access this platform and its content from anywhere in the world.

Several years ago, Roku launched its own media streaming platform. More precisely, we're talking about a "channel" here, as Roku likes to refer to media platforms as channels. It features thousands of movies and TV shows, and it's available completely free of charge.

What should be noted here is that you don't need to have a Roku device to access The Roku Channel. It's available on the Web as well, letting you stream its content without having to register for an account.

The Roku Channel gets its content from numerous high-profile partners, including Lionsgate, Paramount, MGM, Sony Pictures Entertainment, Warner Bros, and Disney. It even has a range of non-traditional TV channels , focused on specific topics.

Finally, know that The Roku Channel often hosts big-budget movies that are only a few years old. Therefore, this platform is a true example of how the best free movie streaming sites can offer something other than classics and black-and-white movies.

In the world of home theater software, Plex is a well-known name. However, this is also a media streaming platform, offering plenty of content - completely free of charge! It allows you to stream movies, TV shows, live TV, Web shows, podcasts, and more.

Considering the platform launched in December 2019 , it's perhaps the youngest entry on our list of the best free movie streaming websites. However, it truly offers plenty. Right now, you'll find titles such as Bad Roomies, Sex After Kids, The Age of Blood, The Border, and plenty more.

The truth is that Plex isn't offering the latest blockbusters. However (and trust us on this), there's always something new and interesting to watch. That's because new titles appear on Plex on a regular basis, just like on premium-priced alternatives.

Another good news is that Plex works on pretty much any platform or device imaginable. This means that you can create your library of locally-stored content, and then add a free media streaming service on top of that. Also, keep in mind that Plex can be used on the Web, and this includes its free streaming content as well.

Users in the European Union, as well as those who wish to access the American version of Tubi TV (to get its entire library), can use ExpressVPN to unblock this service. If you need additional information, here's how to watch Tubi TV outside the USA .

No matter if you like to watch recently-released movies or older classics, Tubi TV will meet your needs. Upon opening this free movie-streaming website, you will be greeted by a highly polished interface. Some of the featured movies will be displayed right away, as well as sections like the most popular titles, comedy, and horror flicks.

Aside from movies, Tubi TV also has an interesting library of TV shows that have their roots in drama, comedy, crime, action, and documentaries. And when it comes to the available movies and TV shows, Tubi TV's library spans from the '70s all the way up to 2010s.

A large portion of this website's library consists of independent movies and older classics. If that's your thing, you will find that Tubi TV is the ultimate resource. It reportedly has more than 8,500 films gained through partnerships with Paramount Pictures, Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer, and Lionsgate.

Even though YouTube is available worldwide, some of its content can be restricted on a per-country basis. With this said, our strong recommendation would be to check our article on the best VPN for YouTube , so you can learn how to access its US version.

You might be surprised to see YouTube on our list of the best free movie streaming sites. However, YouTube is much more than just funny videos - this is a highly valuable vault of older and newer films that are freely available.

Aside from watching full movies on YouTube, you can use this platform to stay in the loop regarding the latest productions, watch trailers, and follow some excellent channels related to movies and TV shows.

As you can imagine, YouTube doesn't exactly bring you the latest blockbusters. However, channels such as Timeless Classic Movies and Timeless Western Movies are excellent examples of what to expect. And between watching full movies, you can expand your knowledge by checking interesting stuff on CinemaSins , Screen Junkies , and Screen Rant .

To  watch PlutoTV outside the US , you need to use a VPN. Our strong recommendation would be to go for ExpressVPN, as it unblocks PlutoTV on any device. Here's how to get your ExpressVPN 30-day trial .

When it comes to on-demand content, you can find plenty of online sources. This is why we wanted to include something different, like PlutoTV. This free streaming service acts as a traditional television where you simply tune into what's on air.

In other words, PlutoTV connects you to dozens of content providers, all from a single place - and without you having to pay a single dollar.

Once you open PlutoTV, you will get to see dozens of different channels. Click on a channel, and the chosen live-stream will begin to play. If you take a closer look, you'll find channels dedicated to older movies, and you will find channels that cater to audiences looking for newer titles as well.

And of course, if you don't want to watch a movie live, there's a sizeable library of on-demand content that receives new titles regularly.

ConTV is currently available in the US only. You might be able to access the website from anywhere, but you need ExpressVPN to stream any of its titles outside the USA.

Next, we have something quite different for our list of the best free movie streaming sites. Many of you have previously heard about Viewster, a popular destination for fans of anime, cartoons, comics, and similar. However, upon being acquired by Cinedigm, that platform was shut down.

All of Viewster's content has been transferred to ConTV (also owned by Cinedigm). With this said, you already have a pretty clear idea of what to expect.

ConTV gives you a sizeable library of movies - many of which come from independent studios and individuals. Therefore, you'll find a large number of lesser-known titles here, and trust us - these are not afraid to dive into controversial topics.

However, we also need to tell you that not all of its content is available for free. However, there's plenty to watch even if you don't create an account. Just visit the website, look for free titles (you'll easily spot these as they're clearly indicated), and start streaming.

8. Popcornflix

Popcornflix is only available in select markets, so it's advisable to use a reliable VPN to overcome this obstacle. Our recommendation would be  ExpressVPN , so make sure to learn how to watch Popcornflix outside the US .

This is a long-standing free movie-streaming website that has recently gone through an overhaul, modernizing its online presence. Today, it brings a polished UI design that's easy to use, and an extensive catalog of older movies and cult classics.

Popcornflix can be a perfect choice if you are looking for movies from the '90s. There are newer titles as well, but they are mostly B-movies. In general, you can find titles from the 1930s up to 2010s.

Make sure to explore your way around this website as we are sure you'll find at least a few dozen of interesting titles. This is also a good way to rediscover movies that might have gone under the radar. And let's not forget that aside from films, Popcornflix also offers a nice selection of TV shows.

9. Internet Archive

The Internet Archive website is dedicated to preserving plenty of different types of online content, both old and new. This is where you'll find e-books, audio files, software, images, and movies.

As you can expect, we're talking about older films, many of which can be found scattered across numerous websites. Well, the thing about the Internet Archive site is that it gathers all those movies, organizes them in a nice way, and allows you to consume this content in any way you want.

To get to the movies section of the Internet Archive, click on the 'Movies' icon, found at the top of the page. You'll be immediately presented with a list of prominent categories, such as Animation & Cartoons, News & Public Affairs, Television, Vlogs, and more.

As you'll see, the Internet Archive platform brings more than just movies, as it gathers various types of video material. If you click on 'All Video,' you'll get to a library of 25,000+ files. Then, feel free to browse the available movies by categories, and finally start streaming anything you'd like to watch.

10. Classic Cinema Online

A lot of beloved movies from the Golden Era of Hollywood are now publicly available for free. Unsurprisingly, you can find some high-quality movie streaming websites that specialize in this movie era. However, our favorite is 'Classic Cinema Online,' which provides a clutter-free experience, and it doesn't serve annoying ads either.

As its name says, this free movie website is focused on older movies. These range from the 1930s to the 1970s and all of them are brought from different Internet sources - which are hosting them legally.

In general, this website relies on third-party streaming services. That's why you'll often see embeds from YouTube and similar websites. As long as those websites host the movie you want to watch, you can watch it without any issues.

There's no registration required, and this website comes with a nice discussion panel where you can express your thoughts and impressions.

11. Movies Found Online

This website uses legal sources only, acting as a movie repository. In the majority of cases, you'll get to watch movies posted on YouTube – which are completely legal and free of charge.

There are also plenty of public domain movies which are usually older titles with expired copyrights. Some of the available titles on Movies Found Online come from the 1900s, and many of them span all the way to freshly-released films.

Movies Found Online comes with an easy-to-use interface. You can browse different genres using the main navigation bar at the top. The homepage is also doing a good job of featuring recently added titles.

Users are free to give ratings and share their opinion. It means that Movies Found Online is not just one of the best free movie streaming sites, but a highly active community as well.

12. Free Movies Cinema

Even though it comes with a generic name, there's nothing generic about this website. Free Movies Cinema is a curated collection of movies that comes with an often updated library.

It's been around for several years now, and it managed to build a library of more than 600 films - so it's clear that there's plenty to watch.

As you open the website, you'll see a list of featured movies. You'll soon see that we're talking about independent movies here, but there are also some well-known titles as well. Before pressing the play button, you can read more about each title, check its production year, see how many people have watched it, and more.

13. Retrovision

Next, on our list of the best free movie streaming sites with no sign-up required, we have Retrovision. It could be said that this is a niche website because it focuses on classic titles (from the '30s to the 2000s), with a big highlight on British cinematography.

The homepage of Retrovision is filled with interesting suggestions on what to watch. Each movie or TV show title brings a short overview, so you can get to know them before watching. At the moment, you can use Retrovision to view titles such as Abbott and Costello, Bonanza, movies starring Lucille Ball, and more.

There's also a helpful comment section if you want to share your opinion with other website visitors. The only downside is that Retrovision hasn't been updated in a while. Still, plenty of fully-working titles await.

Veoh started as a rather ambitious project a few years back, promising to bring the ultimate collection of valuable video files from the Web. However, facing a copyright lawsuit initiated by Universal Music, the platform struggled for a long time.

Even though Veoh managed to dismiss the trial in the end (being declared legal), it never quite managed to reach its full potential. Still, even though this isn't the most polished website today, it's worth noting that Veoh exists - and we recommend checking it out.

To get started with Veoh, make sure to click on 'Movies' using the website's navigation bar. Then, you'll be asked to select a genre, after which Veoh will present a series of movie clips.

However, make sure to check the length of each file via its thumbnail. Aside from bringing full-length movies, there are also plenty of clips available. So, to avoid getting frustrated, make sure that you've chosen to play a full-length one.

Aside from letting you stream movies, Veoh also brings all kinds of short video clips, music files, and there are even 'channels' available - which act as playlists. So, overall, Veoh is definitely worth your time, as you'll find plenty of content here.

15. Open Culture

Created by Dan Colman, Open Culture is a rich source of Web-related resources. This website isn't only about movies, as it brings audiobooks, courses, textbooks, e-books, and more (all of which is legal to download, of course).

We do feel this is one of the best free movie streaming sites due to its thoughtfully curated library, which includes movies from the 1920s all the way to the 2010s.

Upon accessing the movies section of Open Culture, you'll see a list of featured films. They all come with short descriptions, and you can find curated collections as well. It's clear that Open Culture was made by someone passionate about collecting free Internet sources. And as you can imagine, many of the films found here are actually links to other websites.

16. Documentary Heaven

Now, something for those who like thought-provoking content. Documentary Heaven simply had to find its place among the best free movie sites. The main reason for this lies in its content. Entirely dedicated to documentaries, this website features movies you won't find anywhere else.

Even though documentaries aren't a new format, they went through a fast development in the 2000s and 2010s - so you'll find plenty of movies from those eras on Documentary Heaven. If you're into the latest titles, you're in luck since this resource specifically targets movies released in recent years.

We recommend taking a look at the 'Top 100' category. As you'll see, this website collects media from all over the Internet. It means that some movies might not be available, but you shouldn't stop there. A large portion of the library is fully functional, and you can stream the available content with no annoying ads.

17. Top Documentary Films

Very similar to our previous suggestion, Top Documentary Films is a repository of documentaries from all over the Internet. It relies on a huge number of sources and brings legal movies that you can stream. Many of those titles were released in the 2000s and 2010s, so plenty of new films await here (even some released this year).

You can browse numerous sub-categories or simply go for the most popular titles. We have tested close to a dozen movies, and all were playing without any buffering. Also, many titles are offered in HD, which was a nice surprise. And finally, there are no annoying ads, which is always an important benefit.

4 Best Free Movie Streaming Sites Sign-Up Required

And now, let's check out some of the best free-of-charge movie streaming sites - that require you to sign-up. Don't worry - they won't ask for your payment information.

1. BBC iPlayer

BBC iPlayer is available in the United Kingdom only. With this said, you'll need a VPN if you're not in the UK. Only a handful of VPNs can still unblock iPlayer, with ExpressVPN being one of those VPNs. Find more info in our guide to the best VPNs for BBC iPlayer .

BBC's iPlayer is one of the most underrated media streaming platforms. One of the reasons for that is due to its limited availability, as it's focused on the UK alone. However, this is a relatively simple obstacle, as a VPN can help you unblock a treasure trove of content.

This is where you'll find a huge range of movies, TV shows, documentaries, cartoons, and plenty more. And the most important thing is, we're mostly talking about brand-new content, which is available up to 30 days after its broadcast on BBC's channels.

Of course, there's plenty of titles that are available for more than a month. And since the BBC has plenty of licensing deals with American broadcasters, you'll find movies and TV shows produced by Hollywood movie studios and well-known TV networks.

Another great thing about BBC iPlayer is that it's available on the Web, and it has a really nicely designed website. However, you'll also find native apps for plenty of platforms, including media streaming devices. All in all, it's worth signing up for this one.

Vudu is restricted to the USA only. However, there's a way to watch Vudu outside the USA by using a VPN service. We highly recommend ExpressVPN for unblocking this platform.

Vudu was one of the first free-of-charge movie streaming websites to start bringing Hollywood blockbusters to its library. And as such, it acts as an example that you don't have to pay to access great movies and TV shows. This is still the case, as Vudu is a highly active platform with new titles coming to its library on a regular basis.

An interesting thing about Vudu is that it brings a really wide range of titles. In other words, it's not afraid to combine low-budget movies with the latest blockbusters, so you'll need to spend some time browsing to get to the truly interesting stuff.

However, once you dig a bit deeper, you'll be surprised by what Vudu offers. We're not talking about only a handful of great movies. There are dozens of high-profile films at any given moment, with new ones just around the corner. Therefore, we're sure you'll keep coming back to Vudu in the future as well.

IMDb TV is available within the United States and US territories. However, as per our tests, ExpressVPN helps you access and use this platform from anywhere in the world.

When you set out to find any information about any movie released ever - you probably turn to IMDb. This Amazon-owned website has been the ultimate online destination for movie and TV show fans for a long time now. Therefore, it's not as surprising to know that it also offers a media streaming service.

Called IMDb TV, this is a freshly released streaming platform that's filled with well-known titles. In terms of movies, this is where you'll find Hell or High Water, Crimson Tide, AustenLand, Godzilla, Alien, Taxi Driver, and more. And when it comes to TV shows, some of the most popular titles are Roswell, Client List, Lost, Boston Legal, and more.

If you're after big-budget titles, know that IMDb TV should be your go-to destination. We were very surprised to see that a free-of-charge platform can have so many Hollywood blockbusters. And on top of that, we strongly recommend checking out IMDB's original programming, especially if you're into behind-the-scenes stories.

We're going to end our list of the best free movie streaming sites with a highly interesting recommendation. Called Kanopy, this streaming platform is filled with big-budget titles, while bringing no ads whatsoever.  So, what's the catch here?

Well, the catch is that Kanopy is a different kind of media streaming service. To access it, you need a library card or university login. However, the good news is that a huge number of libraries and universities across the USA have already joined Kanopy.

Before you get started with this platform, make sure to check the official list of libraries and universities that have partnered with Kanopy. Once you subscribe, you can access more than 30,000 titles and watch them on a range of TVs, phones, computers, and more.

Therefore, even though Kanopy isn't for everyone, we're sure that many of you are going to love it. So, why not take advantage of the benefits that your library or university bring?

Is It Safe & Legal to Use Free Movie Streaming Sites?

Yes, it's legal to use free movie streaming sites. However, there's a catch.

If you're not careful enough, it's quite easy to land on an illegal streaming platform. These can be very polished websites, trying to mask the fact that they're bringing pirated content.  With this said, it's your responsibility to make sure you're on the safe side of the law.

We'd also like to remind you that all of the recommendations found in this article are legal . This means you're free to select any option and stream any movie that you find on those websites.

Can You Use Free Movie Streaming Sites Without Ads?

No , there's no way to eliminate ads on free movie streaming sites.

As you probably know, ad-blockers exist to eliminate different kinds of online ads. However, using those on free movie streaming sites will break their playback functionality. That's because their revenue comes from serving ads.

The only truly ad-free recommendation with freshly released movies is Kanopy . However, it isn't available for everyone, as you need an applicable public library card or you need to a student of a university partnered with Kanopy.

What Not to Expect From Free Movie Streaming Sites?

Before we go ahead with listing the best free movie streaming websites, it's crucial to set your expectations properly. So, let's talk about what these websites don't offer.

• The Latest Hollywood Blockbusters:  As you can imagine, the latest blockbusters are reserved for premium-priced services. However, it's not that you can expect old movies only. These streaming platforms come with highly attractive libraries, featuring relatively new movies, released only a few years ago. They also tend to feature plenty of classics - and we're talking about both movies and TV shows.
• Daily- or Weekly-Updated Libraries:  If you've used premium services like Netflix or Hulu, you know that they bring new content on a daily or weekly basis. The situation is a bit different when it comes to free movie streaming sites. They refresh their libraries on a monthly basis (typically). That's why it's a smart idea to combine several of those, so there's always something new to watch.
• An Ad-Free Streaming Experience:  Even free-of-charge streaming platforms need to generate revenue somehow. Therefore, many of those rely on ads. However, this is a very low price to pay for accessing their libraries, as these are typically 30-second ads.
• Unlimited Access From Anywhere:  Even free streaming platforms need to respect licensing laws and restrictions. This is why many of the following options are restricted to certain countries. Still, this is something that a capable VPN will help you overcome. Here are the best VPNs for streaming , as per our hands-on tests.

If you're not willing to adapt to the above-mentioned restrictions, perhaps it's time to think about getting a subscription to a premium-priced streaming platform. To help you with this, here's our overview of the best streaming services right now.

Can You Watch Newly Released Movies via Free Movie Streaming Sites in 2022?

Yes, newly released movies can be watched via free movie streaming sites. Check this guide .

If you're after commercial and independent movies, we highly recommend checking out BBC's iPlayer , The Roku Channel , YouTube , Free Movies Cinema , and MoviesFoundOnline .

In terms of other types of content, both Documentary Heaven and Top Documentary Films feature titled released in 2020.

In terms of the latest Hollywood blockbusters, these are typically reserved for premium-priced platforms like Netflix, Hulu, or Prime Video. If you don't mind watching blockbusters released two, three, or more years ago, free platforms will meet your needs.

Can You Download Full Movies & Episodes From Movie Streaming Websites?

No, you can't download movies for offline viewing. After all, we're talking about streaming here. However, there's one exception.

At the moment, you can download movies from the Internet Archive . That's where you'll typically find older titles, which are copyright-free. Other free movie streaming sites are primarily focused on streaming, as this allows them to serve ads and generate revenue.

Still, know that there's a handful of websites that allow you to download movies. These typically don't let you stream movies, which is why we haven't included them in this article. For more info, here are the best free movie download websites .

What Are the Best Movies to Stream via Free Movie Streaming Sites?

You will be surprised to know that websites such as Crackle, The Roku Channel, Popcornflix, and Pluto bring a huge selection of very interesting films. So, we're going to give you our recommendations for each of those platforms.

• Crackle: You'll find plenty of popular tiles here such as The Incredible Burt Wonderstone, About Alex, Cadillac Records, V/H/S, Dead Snow, and more.
• The Roku Channel: We recommend checking out movies such as Wrath of the Titans, Seabiscuit, Firewall, Something's Gotta Give, Coriolanus, It Follows, and more.
• Plex: This platform currently features movies like Burnt, Vanishing on 7th Street, Shadow Dancer, Carol, Whiskey Tango Foxtrot, and The Two Faces of January.
• Tubi TV: Among the most popular titles are Empire State, Southpaw, Desperado, The Intruder, Knock Knock, The Gambler, Magic Mike XXL, and Apocalypto.
• YouTube: This treasure trove of content brings you titles like I Am Not Your Negro, Europa Report, Hunter, With Great Power: The Stan Lee Story, and more.
• PlutoTV: The most popular titles on PlutoTV are Harlem Nights, Carriers, Vacancy, Above the Rim, Rat Race, Ultraviolet, Project Almanac, and plenty more.
• Popcornflix: Plenty of interesting movies await on this platform, including Bel Canto, Train to Busan, Mr. Nobody, Drinking Buddies, The Void, and Patriot Games.
• BBC iPlayer: We highly recommend watching The Revenant, The Shining, Interview with the Vampire, Apocalypse Now, Poltergeist, Short Term 12, and The Dutchess.
• IMDbTV: Both new and classic titles await, like Taxi Driver, Whale Rider, Donnie Darko, Memento, Cube, Austenland, Crimson Tide, and Godzilla.
• Kanopy: When it comes to high-profile titles, we recommend Moonlight, Colette, Captain Fantastic, Lady Bird, Amy, Leave No Trace, and 20th Century Women.

What Are the Best Free Streaming Sites That Require a VPN Service?

The best geo-restricted streaming sites (that come free of charge) are Crackle , The Roku Channel , Popcornflix , Tubi TV , Pluto TV , Vudu , and YouTube (USA) , among others.

The truth is that by getting a VPN subscription, you get to unlock a whole new world of entertainment. And yes, we understand that VPNs come at a price (an affordable one, though). However, this is a wise investment that helps you save plenty in the long run.

Once again, our strong recommendation would be to use ExpressVPN. We've tested a huge number of VPNs, and this is the only that helps you unblock just about any platform out there, including any of the websites we've mentioned in this article. Here's how to try ExpressVPN for up to 30 days (for free) .

Why Are Free Online Movie Streaming Sites Restricted to Certain Regions? What Should You Do to Access Them?

Free-of-charge streaming sites are obliged to respect licensing deals. This is the reason why they either serve region-based libraries or are available in certain countries only.

The only way to overcome this obstacle is to use a VPN service. These applications are designed to change your IP address and encrypt your Internet connection . And that's all you'll ever need to unblock websites.

Once you download a VPN on your device, launch it, and connect to a server in a country where the desired website is available. From there on, you'll get to use the Web as if you're physically in that specific country.

Can VPNs Really Keep You Safe When Using Free Streaming Sites?

Yes, VPN services can keep you perfectly safe , no matter if you're streaming movies, browsing the Internet, or doing any other online activity.

That's because VPNs are designed to encrypt your Web traffic, hiding anything you do online from anyone else on the Web, so even your ISP (Internet Service Provider) won't know what you're doing online .

However, don't make a mistake thing that every VPN is the same. Only a handful can help you unblock new types of websites while making sure that your privacy is protected. With this said, the best VPN money can buy today is ExpressVPN (don't worry, it's affordable).

This is where we conclude our article on the best free movie streaming sites in 2022. In case there's anything you'd like to say or add, make sure to post a comment below. And of course, don't forget to share this article online. Thank you!

The 12 best free movie websites (that are legal and safe).

You don't need to pay a cent to watch tons of great movies online.

The roku channel.

The landscape of free movie streaming sites has massively expanded in recent years, with more sites popping up all the time. If you're looking to watch free movies online, here are our picks for the best options.

It's hard to argue with the vastness of Tubi's library of free movies online, which includes everything from well-known classics and box-office hits to cult movies that sometimes are unavailable to stream anywhere else. Tubi provides an unprecedented opportunity for independent filmmakers to share their work, which means you can find a variety of micro-budget movies that otherwise might never be seen. Tubi has also branched out into original productions, although the quality of those films vary.

Since selections on free movie streaming sites change frequently, it's helpful that Tubi has dedicated sections both for movies that are newly added and movies that are leaving soon. The sheer volume of content can be a bit overwhelming, but Tubi breaks down selections by genre and into specialty collections that make the experience more manageable. The ad breaks are not excessive, and the countdown to each one makes it less jarring when the movie you're watching is interrupted.

• Huge selection of movies and TV shows
• Lesser-known films not available anywhere else
• Useful warnings about ad breaks
• Sheer volume of content can be overwhelming

Pluto TV is a pioneer in the popular free ad-supported TV (FAST) space, offering up a range of linear-style channels. That means you don't have to scroll through a library of titles if you just want to sit back and watch TV. Put on a channel devoted to a movie genre like drama or horror, or a niche interest like Godzilla movies or Hallmark, and Pluto will offer up an endless supply of programming. There are on-demand options, too, and if something on a FAST channel catches your interest, you can pause or start from the beginning.

Thanks to Pluto's Paramount Global corporate ownership, there's often premium content from Paramount Pictures, Paramount+, CBS, and Showtime cycling through the service's offerings, along with news from local CBS affiliates. The on-demand library is a little tougher to navigate than the live channels, and Pluto's interface always has some video auto-playing, which means you can change or mute the channel, but you can't turn it off while you browse.

• Wide selection of live channels
• Content from Paramount Global brands
• Large on-demand library
• Constant auto-play video

Previously known as IMDb TV, Freevee is Amazon's home for watching free movies online. That means it's fully integrated into Amazon Prime Video, so if you're an Amazon Prime subscriber searching for something to watch, you'll find Freevee offerings alongside Prime Video's library. That can be convenient because it expands the selection of what's available, but it can also be frustrating when Prime Video users click on a movie or show only to discover that it features ad breaks.

For users who aren't Amazon Prime subscribers, though, Freevee offers a convenient way to watch free movies, including some Prime Video original programming that's offered through Freevee on a limited basis. Freevee has also delved into original programming with movies like the romantic comedy Love Accidentally and series like crime drama Bosch: Legacy and Emmy-nominated reality/scripted hybrid comedy Jury Duty . With the resources of Amazon behind it, Freevee has become one of the most prominent free movie websites.

Amazon Freevee

• Integration with Amazon Prime Video
• Large selection of content
• Original programming including popular titles
• Can be confusing to distinguish from Prime Video selections

Hoopla is one of two major free movie websites available to anyone with a library card from many libraries across the country. Depending on the individual library's policies, cardholders can stream a limited number of free movies online every month, without subscription fees or ads. Hoopla's film library includes an assortment of classics as well as many of the same fare available on free ad-supported streaming sites. It can sometimes be tough to find new releases, but Hoopla often carries movies that have just been released for VOD rental and aren't available on any other ad-supported or subscription-based streaming services yet.

Hoopla's borrowing limits also apply to its other available formats, including e-books, graphic novels, music, and audiobooks, so it can be tricky for dedicated library patrons to balance those different types of media. Hoopla sometimes offers "bonus borrows" of content that doesn't count toward monthly limits, and it also offers BingePass, with unlimited access to similar content like Hallmark programming or Curiosity Stream documentaries for a set period of time.

• Completely free with no ads
• Selection of movies including exclusive new releases
• Available to anyone with a library card
• Limited number of streams per month
• Movies and TV counted along with other media borrows

Like Hoopla, Kanopy is a way to watch free movies online for patrons of many libraries, as well as for university students. While there's plenty of overlap between selections on both Hoopla and Kanopy, Kanopy is more focused on foreign films, documentaries, and arthouse releases. Like Hoopla, Kanopy offers a limited number of free movies online depending on the individual institution that provides access. Unlike Hoopla, Kanopy is entirely devoted to movies and TV, so users don't have to split their credits among different types of media.

Selections on Kanopy may differ depending on licensing agreements for each sponsoring institution, so not every movie is available for every user. In general, Kanopy features a wide range of vintage and modern films, including movies from popular indie distributors like A24, which signed a long-term deal to provide content to Kanopy. That gives Kanopy a more diverse lineup of films than many subscription streaming services.

• Impressive selection of arthouse and foreign films
• Selections differ depending on the sponsoring institution

No, you don't need to own a Roku device in order to watch the Roku Channel . That common misconception may have kept some people away from one of the most reliable free movie websites. While the Roku Channel is integrated into Roku streaming devices and Roku TVs, it's also available as a standalone app on other streaming devices and as a website, where it features a selection of free ad-supported movies.

The Roku Channel also offers more than 350 live FAST channels, from cable brands like Ion and Court TV and franchises like The Walking Dead and Power Rangers . The Roku Channel has also delved into original programming, picking up all the shows from short-lived streaming service Quibi and producing original movies like Weird: The Al Yankovic Story . Ad breaks are relatively unobtrusive and usually cluster toward the first two-thirds or so of a movie, so the most involving part can run uninterrupted.

• Available without a Roku device
• Hundreds of live channels
• Popular original programming
• Roku integration limits usefulness elsewhere

Initially launched in 2004, Crackle is one of the oldest free movie streaming sites, and it's undergone various changes in ownership and content over the years. One thing that's remained consistent is its position as a go-to site to watch free movies online, and its current ownership under Chicken Soup for the Soul Entertainment gives it access to a shared library of content with corporate sibling Redbox. You can find many of the same movies on both sites, with a range of genres, from classics to modern blockbusters, along with TV series including anime and British imports.

Crackle also hosts original content, including numerous romance and action movies, and TV shows like Chosen starring Milo Ventimiglia and the series adaptation of Guy Ritchie's Snatch . Although its original productions aren't as elaborate as they've been in the past, it's still a reliable destination for on-demand ad-supported movies, just as it's been for nearly two decades.

• Longtime destination for free content
• Robust library of movies and TV series
• Scaled back original content

Although Vudu is mainly known as an outlet for digital purchases and rentals, it's also a destination for watching free movies online. Vudu's selections include certain movies that are available to stream for free with ads, alongside movies for rental or purchase. That can make things a bit confusing, especially when a movie's page lists both a rental price and a free option, but if you know what you are looking for, you can find plenty of options to watch free movies on Vudu.

There's a dedicated section on Vudu's site for free movies, so users don't have to sort through paid content in order to find something to watch for free. Vudu's free selections include movies and TV series in a variety of genres. Browsing through genres pulls up both free and paid offerings, so users can find something to watch for free as an alternative to a rental or purchase. It provides a good balance as long as you pay attention to how each selection is labeled.

• Free content integrated with rentals and purcahses
• Dedicated section for free offerings
• Can be difficult to differentiate free and paid selections

People may be more familiar with Redbox for its physical kiosks outside places like grocery stores and drugstores, which offer DVDs for rent, but the Redbox website is a destination for digital purchases and rentals as well as a place to watch free movies online. There's a much wider selection of movies at Redbox online than at the kiosk, although info about movies available for physical rental comes up in search results alongside digital availability. That's handy for finding all options to see a particular movie you want to watch, including the option to watch for free with ads.

You can also browse only the free selections, although they're a little buried on the site's home page. In addition to on-demand selections, Redbox also features FAST channels for a variety of movie genres and TV series, as well as news, music videos, and more. It's not as extensive as the FAST selections on some other sites, but it offers a decent sampling of what Redbox has to offer.

• Wider selection of movies than Redbox kiosks
• Extensive lineup of live channels
• Free offerings integrated with paid rentals
• Free section is somewhat difficult to navigate

Plex is so much more than just a place to watch free movies online, although it has plenty of free options available if that's what you're looking for. It's designed as a one-stop destination for all your movie-watching needs, so you can organize your personal collection of digital movies or build watch lists for various subscription streaming services like Netflix and Hulu. Alongside those functions, Plex also includes plenty of movies to watch free with ads, which can be integrated with the rest of your movie library.

If you'd rather not sign up for an account, you can still easily just stream movies and TV shows for free with ads, and Plex features a similar range of selections as other sites that focus solely on free offerings, with more than 20,000 titles available. Plex also offers various FAST channels to complement its free on-demand lineup.

• Integrated service for digital movie library and watchlist
• On-demand selections and free live channels
• Free selections only a small part of the service

The free movie streaming site for boutique film distributor Shout Factory, Shout TV focuses on genre fare and cult classics, along with a range of other free selections. It's home to FAST channels for cult favorites like Mystery Science Theater 3000 and ALF , as well as on-demand episodes of those and other offbeat TV series. The movie selection is heavy on horror, martial arts, sci-fi, and other cult genres. While Shout may not offer the breadth of other free movie websites, it's more expertly curated.

One thing available on Shout that even most subscription streaming services don't offer is commentary tracks, which are now mostly found only on DVD and Blu-ray releases. If you want to hear director John Carpenter talk about his horror anthology Body Bags , director Larry Cohen talk about cult monster movie Q: The Winged Serpent , or other filmmakers and actors comment on their work, then Shout is the free movie website to check out.

Shout Factory TV

• Curated focus on cult and genre fare
• Commentary tracks
• Smaller selection than other services

Everyone knows YouTube as the top place for video content online, with literally hundreds of millions of user-uploaded videos of every type. But YouTube also functions as a free movie streaming site, with an official selection of movies available to watch with ads. Given YouTube's sometimes chaotic free-for-all of content, it may be tough to find a particular movie to stream for free. It's possible to browse a list of YouTube's free movies online, but that listing isn't easy to locate from YouTube's home page.

YouTube's official free offerings are far from the only free movies available on the site, though, and there are dozens of legal YouTube channels that offer free movies, from public-domain selections to small independent films looking to find an audience. If you can wade through the reams of content and wrangle your way through YouTube's algorithm, it's possible to find plenty of hidden gems along with the more popular free selections.

• Free mainstream movies with ads
• Public domain and indie films uploaded by users
• Volume of non-movie content makes curation difficult

The 27 Best Torrent Sites: Ultimate P2P List for May 2024

Finding the best torrent sites can feel like looking for a needle in a haystack or trying to catch a rare Pokemon.  We tested many acclaimed torrent sites to find the best torrenting sites that are still active and won’t infect your device with malware.

Here’s a list of our top torrent sites:

Best overall torrent sites 

• The Pirate Bay : Best overall torrent site
• 1337x : Well-designed torrent website for all kinds of torrents
• Torrentz2 : Best torrent search engine

Best torrent websites for movies and TV shows 

• YTS : Best torrent site for HD movies
• EZTV : Best torrent site for TV shows
• LimeTorrents : Best torrent site for new releases

Best torrent sites for games 

• FitGirl Repacks : Best torrent site for gaming torrents
• Gazelle Games : Trusted torrent website for games

We recommend using a VPN when visiting torrenting sites as they often host copyrighted content, and accessing them may land you in trouble. A premium VPN provider, like NordVPN , will hide your identity, location, and online activity, ensuring you can download torrent files privately.

If you want to learn more about the most popular torrent sites, keep reading our article below.

Finding a reliable and secure torrent website is no easy task. The best torrent sites tend to get shut down or are blocked by internet service providers (ISPs). Besides, many torrent sites are malware-ridden, so you can’t trust any random site offering torrent files for download.

We tested over 55 sites to create a shortlist of the best torrent sites that are secure, reliable, and relatively ad-free . While the torrent sites in this article are relatively safe, we recommend only accessing them with a VPN.

NordVPN is our top VPN for torrenting. It shields you from threats on torrent sites and encrypts your traffic so your ISP, hackers, and other parties can’t see you’re torrenting . Click the link below to get a limited-time deal on NordVPN.

Why You Need a VPN When Visiting Torrent Sites

Torrenting sites are notorious for containing malware. We’ve tried our best to choose torrent sites that won’t infect your device with malware. But, given the vast amount of content uploaded to these sites daily, we can’t guarantee that each one is completely safe.

Also, while we’ve sought to only select torrent websites that don’t contain copyrighted material, we can’t be 100 percent sure this is the case. In some countries, you may be fined for visiting sites that contain copyrighted material and downloading such content.

A VPN encrypts your connection and changes your IP address . This keeps you safe and blocks any attempt to track your online activities, ensuring you can download torrent files privately and securely.

We recommend using NordVPN when visiting torrent sites. Besides protecting you, this VPN can also unblock torrent sites, even in countries with strict online censorship. It hardly impacts your connection speeds, so you can download torrents quickly.

The Best Overall Torrent Sites

Looking for all-purpose torrent sites to download movies, software, TV shows, games, and more? The websites listed below host all kinds of content , making them a one-stop shop for all your torrenting needs.

Torrenting itself is not illegal, but downloading copyrighted content can be, depending on your jurisdiction. We recommend checking your local laws and steering clear of any illegal activities to avoid possible fines and other consequences.

1. The Pirate Bay: Best overall torrent site

• One of the largest torrent libraries
• Numerous mirrors ensure sustained accessibility
• Clean user interface
• Limited ad-intrusion

The Pirate Bay has been a crowd favorite for many years and is still widely regarded as one of the best torrent sites. It has managed to deflect countless blocking attempts, and it’s still going strong with over 18 million monthly users on its main site.

On accessing the Pirate Bay, we found at least one seeder for every torrent listed there — no matter how old. We also got speeds of 5 to 6MB/s on most of our downloads.

We also liked The Pirate Bay’s clean user interface, which shows the number of seeders, leechers, and file size. It has minimal ad intrusion and an active community.

However, its popularity also means that it is regularly in the crosshairs of law enforcement and is regularly blocked. NordVPN excels at circumventing such restrictions, allowing you to access The Pirate Bay from anywhere!

If none of The Pirate Bay mirrors above work, take safety precautions when trying to find another one on your own. There are a lot of Pirate Bay copycat sites out there used to conduct phishing scams.

2. 1337x: Well-designed torrent website for all kinds of torrents

• Excellent user interface
• Trusted source for movies, TV shows, and games
• Virtually no ads

While 1337x has been online since 2007, it has recently become very popular with users due to a recent site revamp, which made it easier to navigate and reduced security risks .

Moreover, its wide variety of torrents, spanning movies, TV shows, games, and software, makes it a great overall torrent site. However, it has a relatively smaller library compared to The Pirate Bay.

Based on our analysis, 1337x receives about 53 million users each month . Despite the heavy traffic, it provides impressive download speeds of 3 to 4 Mb/s.

The site’s owners earn money through Bitcoin donations, eliminating the need to host advertisements. As a result, 1337x is one of the best overall torrent sites today.

3. Torrentz2: Best torrent search engine

• Great platform to find torrents from leading torrent websites
• Good for finding obscure titles and movies
• Simple and easy-to-navigable interface

Unlike The Pirate Bay and 1337x, Torrentz2 is a torrent search engine . This means it indexes files from other P2P torrent websites and lists them for you to browse through. When you find the torrent file you’re looking for on Torrentz2, you can download it directly from the P2P website.

The original Torrentz2 website (named Torrentz) was shut down in 2016 due to legal issues, but its clone has risen to prominence and receives more than 10 million hits per month .

During our tests, Torrentz2 helped us find obscure titles on torrent sites we never knew existed. However, since it redirects you to other websites, we don’t recommend using it without a VPN, as these third-party sites could compromise your safety.

4. Torrends: Great alternative torrent search engine

• Great for hard-to-find torrents
• Sleek and minimal design

Like Torrentz2, Torrends tracks torrents from popular sites like The Pirate Bay and 1337x. It’s yet another torrent search engine that saves you a lot of time and effort.

The download speed and all other relevant metrics are the same as you’d find on the specific site Torrends.to pulls data from. We love the seamless design and the minimal ad intrusion of this site.

With a little under five million hits a month and a great What’s Trending section, Torrends.to could be a good choice if you’re looking for obscure titles.

5. Torrent Downloads: Popular torrent site for old titles and movies

• Extensive selection of TV shows, movies, and games
• Ads and pop-ups can be annoying

Torrent Downloads used to be one of the most popular torrent sites. However, its popularity has declined due to the growth of The Pirate Bay and 1337x. Moreover, it’s also been targeted by law enforcement agencies and remains unavailable in many regions.

Despite this, Torrent Downloads is an excellent choice if you’re looking for old gaming titles and movies , especially ones popular in Asia. We managed to get speeds of between 2 to 3 MB/s, even on older titles.

One major downside of using Torrent Downloads is the consistent ad intrusion . It even opens up new advertisement tabs, which can be annoying. Thankfully, you can block ads and declutter your Torrent Downloads browsing experience with NordVPN’s Threat Protection.

6. TorrentFunk: Great torrent site for magnet links

• Extensive library of magnet links for direct torrent downloads
• Helpful classification of torrents into different categories

TorrentFunk recently underwent a major revamp, reducing ads and improving its overall user experience. As a result, it’s moved up from the “Torrent Sites to Avoid” section and is now ranking among our best torrent sites.

We particularly like its great library of magnet links for direct torrent downloads . Moreover, all the files on TorrentFunk are separated into different categories, and you can access a list of the most recent and popular files from the homepage.

Although the website is incredibly user-friendly now, using a VPN is still important when accessing TorrentFunk, since it could redirect you to potentially unsafe downloads . Moreover, some of the movies and software listed on the platform are copyrighted, and downloading them could land you in legal trouble. We strongly recommend using NordVPN when visiting this site.

7. DirtyTorrents: Excellent torrent search engine for software

DirtyTorrents Discontinued:

As of April 2024, DirtyTorrents.com has been discontinued by the owners.

• Easy to navigate
• Nice categorization of content
• Large selection of software, games, and adult films

Like Torrentz2 and Torrends, DirtyTorrents also indexes other P2P torrent sites and lists search results in an orderly and convenient manner. We particularly like its extensive categorization of content and simple user interface.

Not looking for something specific? You can visit the “ Recent ” category to find all the content uploaded in the last 24 hours. This includes movies, games, apps, adult films, music, and more. DirtyTorrents has an extensive library of software tools.

8. Bitport: Best platform for downloading torrents in the cloud

• Download torrents safely to the cloud
• Allows downloads on phones and other devices
• Stream content while it downloads

When using Bitport, you download torrent files to a cloud server and access them from there. Hence, the torrent file is never downloaded onto your device, preventing malware infections.

Moreover, Bitport allows you to torrent from your iPhone or Android since files are downloaded to the cloud, not your device. We particularly like the option to stream movies and shows while downloading the torrent file.

However, unlike other torrent sites, you will need to create an account to download torrents from Bitport.

9. idope: Simple torrent site with a vast library

• Simple and clean interface
• Features the latest software and games

idope is a frequently updated torrenting site with a wide array of content, including movies, TV shows, music, anime, games, and more. There’s also a handy “Trending” filter that allows you to discover new content.

We found that idope has a decent amount of seeders for its files, allowing us to download content quickly. It also has the latest content, like newly released episodes of Secret Invasion and Adobe InDesign 2023. idope may contain copyrighted content, so accessing it can get you in trouble, depending on where you live.

Regardless of where you live, we recommend using NordVPN to hide your IP address and protect your privacy when visiting torrent sites.

10. YourBittorent: Torrent site with verified torrents

• Features verified torrents that are safe to download
• Lists torrents from multiple sources

YourBittorrent is a simple site with all the latest torrents on its homepage . From TV shows to anime, you’ll find the latest releases on this site.

The site gets its torrents from multiple sources, giving you several options to choose from. We also like that it has verified torrents that are safe for download. You’ll find the latest verified torrents in the “New & Verified” section.

The Best Torrent Sites for Movies and TV Shows

While movies and TV shows are easily accessible today on Netflix , Amazon Prime, and other streaming platforms, some people prefer torrenting them. This is especially true for the latest movies, which are yet to be released on streaming platforms.

The torrent sites listed below cater specifically to the latest movies and TV shows.

The sites below often host copyright-infringing content. Accessing such material, with or without a VPN, is a criminal offense in most countries. VPNOverview does not condone copyright infringement.

1. YTS: Best torrent site for HD movies

• Extensive catalogue of HD movie torrents
• Features classic movies and shows
• Clean interface with minimal ad-intrusion

YTS has quickly become the go-to torrent site for anyone looking to download movies and TV shows. The site specializes in HD-quality movie torrents optimized for different devices and bandwidth requirements.

Not only can you download movie torrents at speeds between 2 to 3 MB/s , but you can also stream them on the website. The site is designed beautifully and features minimal ad intrusion.

If you’re looking for obscure movies that are difficult to find, this is one of the top torrent sites to check out. In fact, it’s the only torrent site where we could find movies like 12 Angry Men in 1080p.

YTS has been hit with numerous lawsuits in the past, resulting in the site handing over user info to various organizations. With that in mind, we wouldn’t recommend using it without a bulletproof VPN like NordVPN to protect your data .

2. EZTV: Great torrent site focused on TV shows

• Features an extensive collection of the latest and classic TV shows
• Good seeder-to-leecher ratio on most torrents
• Ad-intrusion can be a little annoying

If you want high-definition episodes of your favorite shows, EZTV is one of the best torrent sites to check out. While its library isn’t as large as some other torrent sites on this list, there are hardly any TV shows you won’t find on this site.

Thanks to its active community — clocking in at around 20 million monthly visitors — the seeder/leecher ratio is pretty decent. While ad intrusion is sometimes annoying, its library size and download speed of 2 to 3 MB/s somewhat make up for it.

We were particularly impressed by the availability of classics, like Midsomer Murders, which are otherwise only available on platforms like BBC iPlayer.

3. LimeTorrents: Best torrent site for the latest releases

• New movies and TV shows are available within a few days of their release
• Good download speeds on virtually all torrents
• Allows streaming of movies and shows on the website

LimeTorrents is one of the best torrent sites for new releases. It has been around since 2009, and its library can give even The Pirate Bay a run for its money.

The average download speed on LimeTorrents is 3 to 4 MB/s , and the site has close to 20 million users a month . With a seamless interface and a very good seeder/leecher ratio on new torrents, it’s a solid choice for torrenters everywhere.

What we like most about LimeTorrents compared to other torrent sites is that you can stream movies on the site instead of downloading them. This saves you a lot of time waiting for downloads to finish. In our tests, we found the streaming to be reliable, too.

However, LimeTorrents displays many ads, which can make browsing the website quite annoying. Moreover, the website is blocked in several countries, including the UK and France, so you’ll need a top-notch VPN provider, like NordVPN, to access it.

4. Nyaa.si: Best torrent site for anime

• Extensive repository of anime shows
• Excellent download speeds on virtually all torrents

Nyaa is a dedicated anime torrent site. It has a variety of anime, from raw anime to English dubs, that are of excellent quality and synchronized well. It can compete with some of the best free anime streaming sites .

Roughly 46 million anime fans visit Nyaa monthly, ensuring a healthy seeder-to-leecher ratio. We downloaded the latest anime shows on Nyaa super fast, and the quality was superb.

To get the torrents with the most seeds (which results in faster downloads), click on the up arrow in the header of the table. This will arrange the anime torrents in descending order based on download speed (number of seeders).

5. AniDex: Great alternative torrenting site for anime

• Vast library featuring anime, manga, and other comics
• Some torrents may contain malware and Trojans

AniDex is an anime torrent website that’s updated frequently . You can expect to find anime dubs, pictures, audio, games, and manga. It has a great library with subtitles but is not as vast as Nyaa.

If you don’t find a specific anime title on Nyaa, AniDex is a great place to look. It’s important to note that some users have encountered malware like Trojans on the site.

If you have to download content from AniDex, use an effective VPN with malware protection like NordVPN.

6. Public Domain Torrents: Best torrent site for free movies that are legal to download

• Only hosts legal movie torrents, so there’s no risk of copyright violations
• An active community of torrenters

Public Domain Torrents is a legal site where you can download movies for free. These  movies are in the public domain . So, you shouldn’t be too concerned about breaking the law when downloading torrent files from this site.

Unfortunately, you  won’t find the latest movies  on Public Domain Torrents. However, there are old movies such as Sherlock Holmes, Charlie Chaplin, and other classics to keep you entertained.

Best Torrent Sites for Games

In addition to movies and TV shows, games are among the most popular torrent categories . While you’ll find games on some of the torrent sites listed above — like The Pirate Bay and 1337x — the sites below cater specifically to gamers.

If you’re looking for a specific gaming title, we’d recommend checking one of our best gaming torrent sites instead of a more general one.

1. FitGirl Repacks: Best torrent site for games

• Hosts the latest game titles in relatively small-sized torrents
• 100% lossless games that match the originals

FitGirl is the go-to site for serious gamers who want the latest and most  authentic gaming torrents . The games are as close to the original as you can get. According to FitGirl, most games are 100% lossless and  MD5 perfect .

More importantly, the games are compressed to almost 90% of their initial size. This means faster downloads.

Also, every game has a summary of requirements and features, such as the HDD space and RAM space required, installation time, and a description for each game. There’s also a “Monthly Archive” section that makes it easy to find any specific game you may be looking for.

2. GazelleGames: Private torrent site for games

• Member-only private site with fewer scammers and hackers
• Hosts only verified game torrents

GazelleGames is a members-only torrent site that hosts more than 60,000 verified and authentic game torrents . It boasts an active community of seeders that help to speed up downloads.

However, getting a GazelleGames membership is not easy. You need a pre-existing member to invite you . You can scour Reddit forums to find an existing member willing to give you an invite. If you’re lucky, you can even get a free membership without an invite, but GamesGazelle rarely opens its membership.

3. CRO: Best torrent site for PC games

• Large selection of PC gaming torrents
• Lots of pop-ups

If you’re a PC gaming enthusiast, CRO is a website you must check out. It features a great collection of game torrents that almost always work . Moreover, it has a clean and simple interface, which makes finding any game a breeze.

We only found games released in 2021 or earlier when we visited CRO. So, it’s not the best site for the latest torrents. Additionally, getting to your desired torrent files requires clicking through several pop-ups, which is rather cumbersome.

But if you’re looking for classic PC titles on a relatively malware-free website , CRO is a great pick. Of course, there’s no guarantee that all torrents on the site are safe, which is why we recommend using NordVPN when visiting CRO.

4. isoHunt: Classic torrent website for games

• Reputable torrent site for games and other kinds of torrents
• Frequently updated torrent library with the latest games

isoHunt has been serving torrents to users for a long time. It has a vast library of different content that’s updated frequently. You can expect TV shows, ebooks, software, movies, games, and so much more on isoHunt.

We especially like that the game selection is well-updated and has some of the latest games, such as Alien Descent. However, be prepared to click through several pop-up tabs when navigating the website.

5. TorLock: Torrent website with no fake torrents

• Only lists genuine and authentic torrents
• Features hard-to-find games

TorLock is a gaming torrent site that places a premium on security. It has a no-fake torrent policy and rewards any community member who finds a fake torrent with $1.

In addition to the latest games, TorLock even features some older games that are harder to find. However, the website is blocked in some countries. Hence, you’ll need NordVPN’s unblocking capabilities to access TorLock.

The Best Private Torrent Sites

Due to incessant government crackdowns, several popular torrent sites restrict their memberships . These private torrent sites can be hard to get into, but they typically feature high-quality torrents.

We’ll explain how you can access these private torrent sites later in this article.

1. IPTorrents – The best private torrent site

• Features high-quality torrents uploaded by members
• High download and streaming speeds on most torrents

IPTorrents is one of the  biggest private torrenting sites , boasting a vast library, an active community, and virtually no ad intrusion. But you’ll need an invitation to access it.

Getting into IPTorrents also requires a Bitcoin donation, which means fewer malicious users are on the platform. Moreover, most torrents on the site are legitimate.

Private torrenting sites generally have  significantly higher streaming speeds  than public ones because members must comply with seeding quotas. Despite the high level of security, we recommend encrypting your connection with NordVPN before accessing IPTorrents or any other private torrent site.

2. Bibliotik: Private torrent site for ebook lovers

• Extensive library of ebooks and comics
• Currently not accepting new members

Bibliotik is the  largest private torrenting site for downloading ebooks . Whether you’re an undergraduate doing research or just looking for obscure books like the Nick Stone series, Bibliotik is bound to have what you need.

With a library size and a traffic count clocking in the hundreds of thousands, it’s easily one of the top torrent sites. Unfortunately, Bibliotik is not currently accepting new members.

3. Demonoid: Highly trusted private torrent site

• Private torrent website that hosts movies, games, software, and other kinds of torrents
• Only features high-quality and secure torrents

During our latest tests, Demonoid was temporarily unavailable. We expect the website to be back up in the air relatively soon.

Demonoid is a long-standing torrent site. It has a simple and user-friendly interface with everything, from torrents to a forum. However, Demonoid requires users to sign up for an account to access its torrents.

This is to ensure that it maintains a trusted community of loyal users who contribute to the site. For this reason, the torrents are of high quality , with many seeders and few leechers. Sign-ups to the site are usually closed.

You must wait for the next open sign-up season to access it. To keep track of when the site opens the door for new users, we encourage you to hang out in the Demoinoid subreddit (r/Demonoid).

Unfortunately, users in certain parts of the world, such as Australia and some Asian countries, are blocked from accessing Demonoid. You can use NordVPN to  bypass geo-restrictions  and access Demonoid.

4. RuTracker: Private Russian torrent site with a vast library

• Massive library of content
• Open to new users

RuTracker is a Russian-owned torrent site that has existed for eons. It boasts a  massive library  of different content ranging from TV shows to apps. It also has obscure content, such as music production plugins.

Unlike other torrent sites that close sign-ups, users can register with RuTracker at any time and join its community of 15 million users. Just be sure to  read the numerous rules and adhere  to them to avoid a ban.

The site is  safe to use , according to our tests and the feedback from Reddit users.

5. REDacted: Private torrent website for music

• Huge library of music torrents
• Torrents are well-seeded, leading to fast downloads

RED is a  private torrent tracker  with a massive music library (1,000,000+ torrents). Of course, being a private tracker, you’ll need to pass an interview that gauges your knowledge of music to get in.

Sometimes, you can  get an invite from other members  of RED’s official IIRC channel, but that’s rare. Downloads are usually fast since all torrents are well-seeded by the community.

The platform is also safe since uploads are verified to ensure they are free of malware. Regardless, you’ll want to protect your identity using NordVPN when visiting RED.

6. MyAnonaMouse: Great private torrent site for ebooks and audiobooks

• More than 60,000 books, comics, and magazines
• Safe and verified torrents

MyAnonaMouse is another private tracker dedicated to providing users with free ebooks and audiobooks. It has legal books, comics, music, and magazines in its library of over 60,000 torrents.

Like most  renowned private trackers , MyAnonaMouse has an interview process that prospects have to pass to be admitted to the site. You can find available interview time slots on the site’s homepage.

Fortunately, MyAnonaMouse is more lenient during interviews than other trackers like RED. However, if you score an invite, read the rules carefully and abide by them . Otherwise, it’s easy to get suspended or banned.

How We Select Secure Torrent Sites

We only picked torrent sites that meet our strict criteria for this list. Some of the things we took into consideration are:

• Reputation : We assessed the overall standing of each torrent website within the online community. This involved examining user reviews, ratings on reputable forums, and endorsements from established tech websites.
• History of data collection : We investigated each website’s history of data collection and privacy practices. We didn’t include any websites that have been implicated in mishandling user data.
• Clear contact information : We looked for clear and accessible contact information on each torrent website. This includes email addresses, contact forms, or social media links that allow users to report issues or inquire about the website.
• Security measures : We examined the specific security measures each torrent website employs to protect its users. This includes HTTPS protocols, SSL certificates, and regular security audits.

Factors to Consider When Selecting Torrent Sites

When choosing a torrent site, there are several factors to consider if you want to enjoy fast download speeds, minimal ad intrusion, and a generally smooth experience.

Here are some things to look for when choosing a torrent site.

• Download speed : This will help you gauge how long it will take for files to download to your device. Your average download depends largely on the torrent site’s seeder/leecher ratio. 
• Monthly traffic : If many people are trooping to a particular website, it’s a sign that it’s popular and likely offering useful content. 
• Library size   and torrent type : The more extensive a torrent site’s library, the higher the chances of finding your favorite content. Look for sites with a wide range of torrent files, from movies to games. In some cases, specialized torrent sites offer better niche content than large torrent sites. 
• Comments and ratings : Read the comments and ratings from other users who have downloaded the same torrent. This can provide valuable information about the quality and safety of the file. Pay extra attention to comments about  computer worms , malware, or other issues. 
• Ad intrusion : If you have to go through multiple ads to download one file, that torrent site might not be worthwhile. Besides the inconvenience, such ads might contain malware and viruses.

How to Use Torrent Sites

A torrent is a small file with metadata about the files you’re trying to get. To download a torrent, you need a  P2P client , also known as a  torrent client .

A P2P client reads the metadata in a torrent file and includes your computer in a relevant P2P network. So, you’re basically downloading the file from people who already have it and are “seeding” it at that moment. If there are no seeders, your download won’t even start.

Here’s a short  step-by-step guide to using torrent sites :

• You’ll need a torrent client . We recommend  qBittorrent , a free, open-source, and ad-free torrent client. Other popular options include uTorrent and BitTorrent, but prepare to face plenty of ads when using those.
• Install your torrent client .
• Navigate to the torrent you want to download and either  download the torrent  or  open the magnet link .

When your file has been downloaded, go to the place it was saved on your device to view it.

How to Torrent Safely

It’s important to take safety precautions when downloading torrents. Otherwise, you may unwittingly expose your identity and leave your device vulnerable to malware, viruses, and phishing attacks . 

Here are the steps you should take while downloading torrents:

• Use a VPN . A VPN will route your connection through a secure server. This keeps you anonymous and allows you to access blocked torrent sites . Choose a VPN with dedicated P2P servers, like NordVPN . This type of server guarantees fast speeds for peer-to-peer file sharing.
• Install an ad blocker . Ads on torrenting sites sometimes take the form of a fake download button. Using an ad blocker disables ads altogether. You’ll never be confused about what to click or worry about accidentally downloading malware.
• Set up an antivirus on your devices: If you accidentally download a torrent file with malware, an antivirus scanner will ensure you can’t run it and prevent your devices from getting infected. Norton 360 is particularly effective at blocking threats in torrent files, thanks to its robust firewall.
• Beware of fake download links: To make money from your clicks, torrent sites will display a more predominant button that won’t download the torrent file but rather a different, unrelated software. Scrutinize torrent sites and ensure what you’re clicking is the actual download link.

NordVPN is our No. 1 torrenting VPN . It uses 256-bit AES encryption to secure your private data and online traffic. It also has a built-in ad-blocker and provides real-time malware protection.

How to Access Private Torrent Sites

Our list covers several private torrent sites with high-quality torrents and have an active community. However, becoming a member of these websites can be notoriously difficult.

We took a  deep dive  into the world of private torrent sites, and we could obtain invitations for some of them. For example, we got into  FileList , Romania’s largest private torrent site.

If you don’t know an existing member of a private torrent site to invite you, check out torrenting forums on Reddit, 8chan, and anonymous forums. You can also check the sites periodically (some have open registrations throughout the year) or visit the r/OpenSignups subreddit.

Torrent Sites to Avoid

A few potentially dangerous torrenting sites still get a lot of traffic, and you’ll find some articles online recommending them.

While you  don’t risk anything  per se when using those sites, they’re usually just  ad-riddled, inferior versions  of the aforementioned platforms. We outline a few of them below.

TorrentGalaxy

TorrentGalaxy is like a downgraded version of 1337x. While it has almost  eight million visitors each month  and boasts a decent library, the ad intrusion level is too severe to warrant praise, especially when compared to the alternatives available.

Kickass Torrents

Yes, a version of this website is still available online. Unfortunately, this is the Kickass Torrents you’re used to only in name and appearance — the service has changed a lot since the original site was taken down.

If you want to download anything using the current version of the site, you’ll have to install an obscure browser extension first. We can’t confirm that this extension is safe, and  we do not recommend installing  it under any circumstance as it may pose serious privacy and security risks. It’s better to use one of the many trusted  Kickass Torrents alternatives .

ExtraTorrents

ExtraTorrents was a popular torrent website that operated from 2006 until it was shut down in 2017. It was one of the most visited torrent sites, only rivaled by The Pirate Bay. It  offered a wide selection of content , such as movies, TV shows, music, software, and games.

Despite its popularity, ExtraTorrents faced numerous  legal challenges over the years , leading to its eventual shutdown. ExtraTorrent alternatives started popping up after that, but they proved to be malicious and unofficial. Read our  ExtraTorrent alternatives  guide for legitimate torrent sites you can trust.

RARBG was one of the largest torrent directories and was famous for its active community of seeders and high-quality torrents. In May 2023, the torrent giant closed its doors, much to the dismay of its estimated  40 million monthly visitors . While several proxies have popped up since, we can’t guarantee that any of them are safe.

Before its closure, the site was  banned in several countries , including Turkey, the UAE, Saudi Arabia, Portugal, Australia, and the United Kingdom.

RARBG cited several factors behind its decision to stop offering downloads, including health problems and the Russia/Ukraine conflict. Luckily, the sites in the list above are excellent  RARBG alternatives !

Which Torrent Sites Are Safe?

The Pirate Bay and private torrent sites  are reputed to be safe. In general, you shouldn’t have a problem downloading from the sites in our list as long as you  employ the basic cyber safety practices we’ve mentioned .

We strongly advise against downloading torrents from any random site that pops up after a Google search, and we recommend using cybersecurity software , like a VPN, to shield your device from online threats when downloading torrents.

Is Torrenting Legal?

Torrenting is legal  since it’s just data sharing between people. However, you need to beware of torrents that contain copyrighted content. Some scammers mislabel their torrents to trick you into illegally downloading copyrighted movies, shows, games, or music.

Remember that  downloading and sharing copyrighted material without the approval of its creator is illegal , and in some countries,  torrenting may lead to legal repercussions .

Different countries have different approaches to torrenting. Here’s an overview to give you an idea of what to expect.

We recommend checking your local laws and  steering clear of illegal activities  when using torrent sites. Stay safe on the web by taking the proper security measures; use a VPN to download torrents anonymously.

What Do People Download From Torrent Sites?

Are you curious about what people download from the best torrent sites? Below is a  top 10 list of the most downloaded HD movies and TV shows from this month .

We used data from The Pirate Bay to create this roundup. The Pirate Bay is a well-known torrenting site, so the top movies there will likely be popular across the board. 

• Poor Things
• Dune: Part Two
• Ricky Stanicky
• The Beekeeper
• Oppenheimer
• Code 8: Part II
• Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom

Disclaimer:

Torrenting is legal, but downloading copyrighted material is considered illegal in many countries and may land you in legal trouble. VPNOverview does not condone piracy, and we advise you to always check your local laws and regulations before torrenting copyrighted content.

Conclusion: The Best Torrent Sites

Torrenting sites are fantastic libraries of hard-to-find music, movies, books, software, and much more. However, it’s important to remember that downloading copyrighted material without permission is illegal in many countries and can result in legal consequences. Moreover, some torrent sites may expose you to malware and viruses.

Avoiding the pitfalls of torrenting requires using a  privacy-first and ultra-secure VPN and sticking to  verified and trusted torrenting sites  like those on our list. We recommend using NordVPN to hide your online activity, protect your device from malware, and stop annoying ads on torrent sites.

The 12 Best ExtraTorrent Alternatives That Work in 2024

The 10 Best Tips to Fix Torrents Not Downloading with VPN

Dear Mr. Janssen, I learned alot from this page....as a novice torrenter....and senior citizen there is ALOT to learn....I found your article informative and a definate help to my torrenting mission.....:-) thanks again for your good work.

Dear Jennifer, We really appreciate your kind words and are happy that our article was helpful to you.

I would like to (also) point out that NORD VPN is advertised quite a bit on this page, so I've been considering it. But after talking with NORD, and asking specifically about the very popular free "BitTorrent" for actually running P2P torrents, below is a quote from their response. (Note they just said "torrent", but I'm sure they mean BitTorrent since that's what I asked about.) So has anyone found that their installation of Nord prevented torrents from working?: ..... Nord's reply to my question: "Regarding, torrent usage it may not work with NordVPN proxies, or proxies in general, simply because Trackers, not seeders themselves, will block any connection when the torrent client reports that it is using proxies. We cannot circumvent this block, as it is impossible to hide the fact that a torrent client is using proxies."

Hi Randy, Thanks for your comment! As for our own experience with NordVPN (we test it monthly and many of us use it on a daily basis), we've never had this issue as far as I'm aware. From Nord's reply, it sounds like trackers blocking proxies is a possibility, but not a very common occurrence. Maybe some of our other readers would like to pitch in with their own experiences, too.

Don't mean to take the talk away from NordVPN, but I use ProtonVPN and they specifically call out you are welcome to use P2P services with it enabled. Been a paying customer for 1 1/2 years (they are free versions of the VPN also) and never had an issue and the speed is always great. You get a few other extras like drive space and calendar, but the VPN and Password Manager is what I use it for.

Hello! We are definitely Proton VPN fans ourselves as well! For this particular purpose, we recommend NordVPN because it's slightly more budget-friendly than Proton. But Proton VPN definitely does a good job at protecting P2P traffic, too!

the piratebay has been compromised, apparently with complaints going back to May 2023. As of Late August its still useless. You CAN search for and get a list of tottents, but clicking anywhere on the page (regardless of whether its a magnet site link or even just a blank white area) will open another browser tab with a download button, encouraging you to click it to start your download. The download will have nothing to do with your selected torrent, and if you have any kind of threat protection in your browser it will warn you not to proceed. You can google more folks reporting the problem with the phrase "thepiratebay has been hacked", and may even find some promises to rebuild it from backups and fix it. But 3 months later its still a trap waiting to make you download and install malware. The site has always been risky, but for now its completely useless

Thank you for sharing, Randy! We're looking into it, but as of five minutes ago, the link provided in this article appears to work as it should! There may be other TPB mirrors out there with dangerous content, however, so definitely be careful with that. If anything changes, we will of course update the information in our article accordingly.

IPTorrents does not require a donation, it requires an invite.

Both actually work! You can get in through an invite from an active member, or get a VIP account through a donation. We clarified this section of the article to highlight this a bit more. Thank you for your comment!

Hi, Please, how can I subscribe for an account in bibliotik.me? Thank you

Hi! Bibliotik only opens its platform to new members on occasion. If you'd like to get an account, unfortunately you'll have to wait for them to open up their invites again.

I couldn't download the torrent at 1337x it kept on opening a pop up, even with ad blocker. I went somewhere else.

Annoying that it kept coming up with popups. Luckily there are plenty of sites on the list for you to try out instead. If you'd like, you can also try downloading a different adblocker. Ours (uBlock Origin) didn't come up with any popups.

Why do these sites "attack" your computer when clicking their links. RARBG is notorious for it. Can't they sell regular ads like everyone else?

RARBG is my favorite torrent site. It has always worked perfectly and ad-free for me, because I use Epic Privacy Browser. I access all torrent sites from Epic. If you use a VPN, it won't matter whether you have Epic's proxy on or off.

In communities on Reddit, people say TBP is not safe. Nor do they recommend uTorrent and BitTorrent.

tbh I use TPB but only download from trusted sources (the one with the pink or green marks next to their name) and I use qBitTorrent as it's free and open source.

When I attempt to download off Torrent downloads. It shows the content to be 2.48GB. However once loaded into uTorrent it shows as ~250kb and says it a "downloader.exe". How safe is that???

That is not safe at all you are downloading a virus please don't go on that site

15 Best 123Movies Alternatives in 2022 [Unblocked]

• ENTERTAINMENT
• Gaming & Entertainment
• Streaming Services
• TECH REVIEWS

Movie streaming plays a huge part in the entertainment industry. It’s one of the most influential forms of leisure that’s patronized by millions of people from all walks of life. As a result, the number of movie streaming services available has increased to aid folks with a unique streaming experience and an endless catalog of shows and movies. However, there’s a catch — some streaming platforms require a monthly subscription fee to access their services. So what would you do if you want to watch free movies online without paying a single dime? You turn to 123Movies or, at least, some of the 123Movies alternatives.

Just like streaming services have changed how we watch movies, YouTube has flipped the script on content consumption. YouTube views are the currency of the internet , giving life to videos from creators all around the world. It’s a place where anyone can find something they’re into, all for free. Views reveal a video’s popularity and help creators get noticed and earn money. This blend of entertainment and opportunity makes YouTube a favorite. It’s similar to 123Movies but offers a more personal touch from individual creators.

With so many 123movies links on the internet, you might be wondering what is the real 123movies site. Don’t worry, we got you covered. In this article, we’ll tackle everything about 123movies, including its mirror sites and ideal alternatives.

What Is 123Movies?

123Movies is one of the largest movie streaming platforms on the internet. It showcases a whopping collection of films, TV series, documentaries, and others across different genres. If you’re fond of watching online movies or TV shows, there’s a high chance that you’ve encountered the service already. With over 98 million users recorded, 123Movies is the best option you can use to enjoy free online streaming.

Launched sometime around 2015-2016, 123Movies originally operated under the name and URL of 123movies.to. After being listed as one of the “Online Notorious Markets” in 2016, the website went through several name changes including 123movies.is, gomovies.to, gomovies.is, gostream.is, memovies.to, and 123movieshub.to/is before being shut down.

Today, various clone sites are still available across the internet to give users a similar experience rendered by the original 123Movies.

What Is the Difference Between 123Movies.to and 123Movies.net?

We all know how confusing it is to encounter a website link that’s almost similar to the original site you’re visiting. If you’re also wondering what is the difference between123Movies.to and 123Movies.net, the answer is pretty simple. 123Movies.to is the original website of 123Movies while 123Movies.net is a clone site of the aforementioned service.

What Are the Mirror Sites for 123Movies?

Here is a list of the working mirror websites and proxy links of 123Movies:

• http://wvw1.123movies.net/
• https://123movies.men/
• http://www1.123moviess.online/
• https://www9.0123movies.com/
• http://123moviesgo.ga/
• https://www4.123moviesfree.sc/
• https://movies123.work/
• http://123movies.unblockall.org/

15 Best 123Movies Alternatives

The original 123Movies may not be around anymore, but there are a plethora of worthy options you can choose from. Without further ado, here is the best 123Movies alternatives roundup you should check out now.

If you’re looking for a 123Movies alternative with zero pop-ups, look no further than Vumoo. This platform is one of the best free online movie streaming sites out there that renders high-quality movie streaming experience and a wide range of content to all of its users.

When you visit Vumoo, the website greets you with a clean and straightforward interface. The movies are arranged in four rows, with minimal to no ads. These ads will not annoy you as compared to pop-ups. Whether you want to stream old or new movies, you can find it all here on Vumoo. If you wish to view the details about your desired movie, all you have to do is to click the thumbnail and the information, along with the video, loads up.

Watching full movies or TV series on Vumoo is completely free. That means you don’t need to provide your personal details such as name, email address, credit card, etc. to access the service.

2. GoStream

If you’re a hardcore fan of movie streaming websites, you’re probably familiar with GoStream. It served as a replacement of 123Movies in 2017, and it remains operational to date under different sources after its official site has been blocked.

Browsing content in the GoStream site is pretty simple. When choosing what to watch, you can skim through laudable movies across different genres or select from the Most Viewed segment located on top of the website. There’s also a dedicated search bar in case you’re looking for a specific film.

Like Vumoo, GoStream is completely free of annoying pop-ups. You may spot some sponsored links in between thumbnails but that doesn’t cause much hindrance when navigating around the site. This earns brownie points a good 123Movies alternative. Additionally, you have the option to stream the movie directly from the site or download it for offline viewing. Either way, the service will not ask you for your personal details to watch the full content.

3. YIFY Movies

When it comes to downloading HD films, nothing beats YIFY Movies. It’s a popular peer-to-peer release group that offers a whopping number of free movies through BitTorrent.

YIFY offers a wide range of content, either classics or contemporary. Unlike most on this list, this 123Movies alternative doesn’t allow users to stream content online. Instead, you are provided with download links and you’re free to download them even without signing up.

As for the interface, YIFY Movies boasts a simple and user-friendly interface against a black background. The categorization is also robust as it allows you to filter your searches according to quality, genre, rating, year, language, and order. Hence, if you’re in search of some of the latest movies from these alternatives, YIFY has to be on the top of your list.

4. WatchFree

WatchFree is another great 123Movies alternative for online streaming. It shelters over 16,000 content in different genres such as action, adventure, romance, sci-fi, horror, etc.

WatchFree offers a similar interface as 123Movies. That means the contents are resting against a green and white-colored theme, which is fairly ideal to the eyes. When it comes to navigation, however, the service renders a different story. Movies are categorized according to genre and country. If you wish to view featured content, just click on List and you’ll see them in varied line-ups.

The platform allows you to watch movies for free — no sign-ups needed. It also employs two to three servers for each movie to eliminate problems while online streaming. However, you may encounter ads and pop-ups that can spoil your experience so consider using ad-blockers.

5. MoviesJoy

Is watching movies your happy pill? Do you prefer online streaming services with great ease? If your answer is a big fat yes, then, don’t forget to consider MoviesJoy. It provides over 10,000 movies and TV series to watch online for free without registration.

When it comes to online streaming, the platform is one of the most robust sites as it boasts four servers for each movie. The movies are also classified according to the genre, IMDB rating, country, and others. Film details are available as well if you click the thumbnail.

6. PutLocker

Just like 123Movies, Putlocker is another major online streaming platform that’s frequently accessed for movies, TV series, documentaries, and the like. It features a vast selection of content that are on par with 123Movies. Thus making it one of the most visited services with approximately 1.6 million visits per day.

There’s no shortage of films in Putlocker. Whether you prefer old movies to the newly released from cinemas, they all have a place here. Another noteworthy feature of the service is the ability to browse and watch movies in Night Mode. Plus, you don’t need to create an account to access its highlights. Everything is absolutely free in Putlocker.

As for the interface, the platform utilizes a green and white theme. Movies are also arranged in thumbnails with the icon to favorite for easy access later on. If you’re afraid of any security issues encountered in Putlocker, there are other Putlocker alternatives you can check out.

7. Popcornflix

As the name implies, Popcornflix makes you reach for popcorn while watching. This is because the platform has a dedicated amount of movies, TV series, as well as viral videos to your liking. Although the service is not primarily geared towards newly released films, Popcornflix offers solid content to all users of all ages.

As one of the best 123movies alternatives available, here on Popcornflix, the contents are diversified into different genres including action, comedy, drama, horror, family, and more. You can also browse a list of New Arrivals and Popcornflix Originals if you wish to see rising films.

What’s more, account creation is not needed to stream films. Plus, the service is highly optimized for computers and mobile devices so you can watch anywhere whenever your heart desires to.

8. Yesmovies

Yesmovies is yet another competent of 123Movies alternative. With an immense array of movies and TV series, the service remains as the primary source of entertainment media around the world.

There are many things to love about Yesmovies. First, it has a user-friendly interface and polished website design. The navigation tools reside at the top portion of the screen for easy access while browsing. You can watch your heart out as long as you like and not hurt your eyes since the site employs a dark theme.

In terms of the categorization, the platform touts a comprehensive classification of its content. You can choose movies according to the genre and country. The Top IMDb selection is present to boot. Just be sure to use ad-blocker to avoid pop-ups from ruining your streaming experience.

9. YoMovies

If you’re a fan of Bollywood and Hindi films, YoMovies is the perfect option for you. It accommodates commendable movies from Eastern countries including Bollywood, Punjabi, Tamil, Telugu, and South Indian Hindi-dubbed films. You can find content from Hollywood, too. It’s one of the more diverse 123Movies alternatives out there in the market.

Exploring what to watch is pretty easy with YoMovies. Major navigation tools are located at the top of the website. When you click one, you’ll be redirected to a list of films with genre selection at the right corner of the screen. If you’re looking for specific content, you can use the search bar to find it. YoMovies also do offer 18+ movies. However, most of the said content contains ads and pop-ups that can get pretty annoying if you’re not using an ad-blocker.

Note: Users under 18 is not recommended.

10. KissAsian

Just like YoMovies, KissAsian is another powerful 123Movies alternative. However, instead of Hollywood or Bollywood films, the service offers free Asian dramas to all users worldwide.

KissAsian has a tremendous reservoir of TV series, episodes, and anime, with expansive indexing to choose from. It includes a collection of movies across various genres and criteria. You can browse content sorted by alphabet and popularity, as well as “Latest Update” and “New Drama” options.

What makes KissAsian special among all platforms is its well-organized navigation tools. You can search for any film by status, whether the series is complete or ongoing, by country, and of course, by genre. Plus, there’s also an available FAQ section in case you encounter problems while browsing or streaming.

In terms of interface, the platform uses a black and yellow theme that’s relaxing and calming to your eyes. The streaming panel also integrates an active chatbox for users to share comments and information about a specific movie or episode. Sounds enticing? It is. You don’t even have to sign up to watch the full movie/series online.

11. Movie4U

Movie4U is another great 123movies alternative if you’re looking for a simple and 100% free online movie streaming platform. Apart from sheltering the best films, the service also touts a premium and elegant-looking website design and interface that provides easier navigation while browsing.

You can browse through its content according to criteria such as Featured, Trending, Top IMDb, and Ratings. Each movie also has three major servers to give users the freedom to jump into another link in case the first one is not working.

If you wish to watch a movie for later, you can download it since the platform has a dedicated download link at the bottom of each video. Some even claim that Movie4U is one of the best 123movies alternatives in the market.

12. FlixTor

FlixTor is another great 123Movies alternative on this list. It features a colossal number of movies and TV Shows arranged according to the genre and popularity. It also has the option to stream videos in HD.

Account creation is no longer required when accessing the website. All you have to do is to click your desired movie and watch it directly from the website. It may also contain 18+ content which might not be the best for underage users.

Make sure to install ad-blockers to prevent annoying ads and pop-ups from wrecking your streaming experience.

13. XMovies8

XMovies8 is a superior 123Movies alternative for many reasons. First, it allows you to watch online movies and TV series for free without registration. Second, it has a huge collection of HD movies, films, from classics to 18+ genres. However, it’s not recommended for users who are underage.

As for the interface, the content sits against a black and red-colored theme. Navigation tools are also decent, but the site requires improvement for better a searching experience.

Since it’s completely free to access movies and TV shows, expect several ads and pop-ups while using the website. However, if you prefer to download movies for offline viewing, you can check out our guide here . If the UX is not a problem for you, this might be one of the optimal 123movies alternatives you’re looking for.

14. Cmovies

CMovies is like any 123Movies alternative on this list. It has all the good features you’re looking for in an online streaming service — free, no registration, and a brimming compilation of impressive films and TV series.

You won’t be disappointed while streaming in CMovies. In fact, the service uses five and more servers for each movie or episode to ensure no one will ever report a broken link. A Facebook comment section is also integrated within each streaming panel so you can keep up with anyone who’s watching the same film.

In case you’re wondering what to watch next, CMovies also displays related films at the bottom part of the page. This way, you can find your next film with great ease. Overall, it’s a great 123Movies alternative you don’t want to miss out on.

15. Bmovies

Wondering what the letter “B” means in Bmovies? Well, the website has spoken. “B” pertains to “Box” or “Blockbuster.” That means the service is a massive box showcasing top-of-the-line or blockbuster films and TV series for free.

When it comes to online streaming, the platform doesn’t disappoint. Featuring similar interface and movie choices like on 123Movies, you can choose from thousands of movies arranged by genre and country. If you wish to see its list of Most Watched Movies or the Top IMDb recommendation, just click on their corresponding button at the top of the screen.

Just like most of the services on this list, Bmovies has a sleek interface with a black and blue theme that’s subtle for the eyes. You may encounter ads and pop-ups along the way, but it doesn’t cause much bother if you’re using an ad-blocker. Also, you need to create an account to watch the full movies. All you have to do is to click the thumbnail of your preferred film and you’re good to go. All in all, this makes one of the best 123movies alternatives available now.

It’s always a good practice to prepare for the rainy days. That means it’s absolutely no harm to know what are the 123movies alternatives available in the market today. You never know some other free movie streaming sites might offer something more than 123movies. Ultimately, these are some of the best alternatives out there that guarantee a safe, and smooth movie streaming experience like the 123movies. But, try it or not, the decision is yours.

13 Best Places to Watch Free Movies Online

Tubi and YouTube are the best sites for streaming free full-length movies, but you've got lots of other options

• Emporia State University

• J. Everette Light Career Center
• Prime Video
• Favorite Events

Watching free movies online is a convenient and frugal way to see the films you love right from the comfort of your own home. Yes, there are plenty of sites where you can get movies "for free" but I've taken the time to confirm that the ones listed below, although ad-supported, are clean from viruses and, importantly, 100% legal to use .

Our Top Picks

Best Overall: Tubi

Tubi has thousands of free movies and shows, including big titles and a kid-friendly area.

Best for User Feedback: YouTube

Among the millions of videos on YouTube are free movies with ads, curated by YouTube staff.

Best for Popular Titles: Freevee

Amazon's free movie streaming service includes tons of well-known films.

Best for a TV Experience: Pluto TV

It's like cable TV, but totally free. Watch on-demand movies and TV, plus live videos 24/7.

Best for High-Quality Movies: Fandango at Home

Fandango at Home's high-def movies are organized into unique sections like Blast From the Past, Hidden Gems, and Big Time Movie Stars.

Best for a Variety of Movies: Popcornflix

Jump right into watching free movies on your TV, phone, or computer without even setting up an account.

Best for Finding Movies Around the Web: Yidio

Yidio doesn't host any content, but it has a robust search feature that finds where you can watch films and shows for free online.

There's a huge variety of freely available movies on these sites, from comedies and dramas to horror and action films. There are movies from big-name studios, but also many older and independent movies that you'll love to watch over and over again. Just be sure you have the best TV you can to ensure a great viewing experience.

I spend some time each month looking for the best free movie sites on the internet. This list was last updated in April to confirm that they still work, are still free, and are still worth your time.

Most of these sites have a mobile app for watching their movies. Take a look at our list of the best free apps for streaming movies so you can take the films with you wherever you go.

High quality, popular movies.

Lots of categories.

Subtitles can be enabled for most movies.

Has a section just for kids.

You don't need to log in to start watching.

Genre categories don't separate movies from shows.

You don't want to miss the thousands of free movies and TV shows you can stream right now at Tubi.

I like to visit the Leaving Soon page to catch freebies before they start to cost somewhere else, but my favorite part of this website for inspiration is Trending Now — I often have no clue what I'm in the mood for, so to see what everyone else is watching right now is awesome.

For example, a few of the more popular titles people have been streaming over the last month include Van Wilder, Never Back Down, The Tuche Family, Black Mountain Side, Barbecue, and The New Adventures of Aladdin.

There are dozens of other genres and collections to pick from, too, like exclusives in Only Free on Tubi , and Black Cinema, Foreign Films, Based on a Book, Highly Rated on Rotten Tomatoes, and Cult Classics. There's also a Spanish section and live TV.

Tubi Kids is a section of this site perfect for streaming just kid-related films. It's available from the top of the website and has categories just for preschoolers and other kids, including Toon TV, LEGO, Animé, and Friendly Monsters films. There are also parental controls you can set through the normal website.

You don't even need a user account to watch this stuff. Just follow this link below, click something you're interested in, and enjoy!

Movies are rated by real viewers.

You can leave comments.

Single, easy-to-scroll-through list.

Most movies have subtitles.

No ads for Premium subscribers.

Many aren't in HD.

Relatively few genres.

No easy search tool for just the free movies.

I was shocked the first time I found out YouTube has free movies . And no, these aren't poorly filmed videos without subtitles that were uploaded by someone random. I mean proper, full-length, totally legal movies, uploaded and managed by YouTube.

Recently, I was able to watch Proximity and Twilight ; both included captions and were available in 1080p. Here are some other examples of free films I saw listed on YouTube this past month: The Godfather, Tremors, The Rookie, Ava, and 17 Again.

Something you can't get with YouTube, but that is supported by most of these movie sites, is the ability to search through just the free titles. However, here's a trick that has saved me loads of time: Open the full list of movies and use your browser's Find function to search by year, genre, or title.

YouTube's curated list (the link below) is the best way to find all their new and popular free movies. Some companies, like Cineverse , list movies in their own profile.

Great collection of newer free films and shows.

Browsing for movies is easy.

Includes original videos.

Locate movies with subtitles in your language.

Uncluttered video player.

User account required.

Most in-video ads are long.

Unhelpful search tool.

For US users only.

Freevee (formerly IMDb TV) is Amazon's collection of free movies. I use this a lot from my TV, but it's just as easily accessible from their website or mobile app. Everything I watch here is easy to find and seems to be high-quality.

Something I like about this site is how the genres and movie collections are organized. For example, if I'm looking through the most popular movies or recently added lists, I can filter by genre and/or subtitle language to make sure I find a movie that's a good fit for me.

The video player lets you turn on subtitles, adjust the way the captions show up on the screen, change the video quality, and go into full-screen mode.

Here are some of the most popular movies you can watch at Freevee: Fantastic Journey to Oz, All Saints, Space Explorers, Air Force 2, A Nanny's Revenge , and Emma.

Has the same feel as a TV's channel guide.

Includes thousands of on-demand movies.

Streams TV shows, news, music, and more.

No user account necessary.

Has only a dozen or so channels for just movies.

Live-streamed movies can't be watched again on demand.

There's always a video playing; you can mute, but not stop it.

Pluto TV is the closest thing I've found to free cable TV. It's owned by Paramount and fully supported by ads, so there's no worry that you might accidentally buy something.

My biggest joy about using this service is that I can just turn it on and let it play. There are hundreds of live channels, so some of them feature news, reality TV, or game shows, but there are also some with full-length movies.

Not everything is live, though, which is good. If I'm in the mood for something specific, I can look through thousands of movies and TV shows that are available on demand.

The unique categories for their on-demand films are a huge plus because most movie sites just stick to the traditional few genres. Examples include Hollywood Icons, Goofus and Goofus, Black Cinema, '90s Throwback , and Cult Films.

These are some of the most-watched movies on Pluto TV this last month: Hansel and Gretel: Witch Hunters, Norbit, The Quiet Man, Tommy Boy, She's the Man, Crawl, and The Truman Show.

In my experience, running Pluto TV through a TV makes it easier to use because the always-on video player gets in the way on smaller screens. But, there is a mobile app and a desktop player if you'd rather go that route.

Fandango at Home

Lots of high quality movies.

Several useful ways to find just the free movies.

Most are popular and well known, and include subtitles.

Films can be filtered and sorted in a number of ways.

Also supports buying and renting movies.

Some movies here cost.

You must log in (it's free).

There are thousands of movies on Fandango at Home (formerly Vudu) that you can watch right now. All you have to do is put up with a few commercials.

It's a great movie site whether you do or don't have an idea about what you want to watch. Films can be filtered by genre, and you can browse by most-watched or release date. All the basic genres are available: action, comedy, crime, romance, and a few others.

While it's true that the genres aren't interesting, Fandango at Home makes up for it with their curated lists. Check these out: Big Time Movie Stars , Critically Acclaimed , Hidden Gems , and Most Watched Movies . There are a few hundred videos in each section.

Something unique about this site is that not only does it let you look through the newest releases, but you can do so on a single page for every genre. Some examples of 2024 titles include Offworld: Alien Planet, Calber Island, Much Ado, Live Hard, Lola, Me & Will , and Mary Mary .

One great thing about Fandango at Home's movies is that some of them are in 1080p, so you don't have to sacrifice quality just to watch some free movies.

Once you settle on something to watch, you might be given the option to buy or rent it, but so long as you find it through one of the free pages, there will be a button you can use to stream the movie without paying. You can even watch movies still in theaters .

Popcornflix

Includes subtitles.

Has a one-page list of every movie available.

'Continue watching' section.

Can't sort by date or popularity.

Strange site navigation.

Popcornflix is another great place to watch free movies online. Their constant flow of new titles from Screen Media Ventures means they have lots of movies being added all the time.

Right off the bat, I appreciate that I don't need an account to use it. I also like that resume playback is supported so I can pause and watch the rest of the movie later.

However, there are a few things I don't like. While the website is definitely very modern-looking, it's not super user-friendly. Along that same line, I would love to have sorting options within each genre list because it's way more fun to see which documentaries, for example, were added recently so I'm not scrolling over all the same movies I always see.

There are several hundred movies here that include comedy, drama, horror, action, romance, family, documentary movies, and foreign films. They also feature web and film school originals and list some titles by a common theme. I've seen Disaster Movie Madness, Edgy Comedies, Behind Bars, Space Invaders, Pulse-Pounding Thrills , and Fear Factory .

Makes it easy to find free movies around the web.

Lots of unique filtering options.

Sort by popularity and date added.

Can be helpful for renting and buying, too.

Films are streamed through other sites.

Incorrectly labels some paid movies as free.

Shows the wrong synopsis and photo for some films.

I'm so happy I stumbled on Yidio years ago! It's like a search engine for all these other movie sites. It's incredibly handy because it shows where on the internet a movie is available for free.

A search box would be enough, but Yidio goes above and beyond with lots of other sorting and filtering options. These include MPAA rating, decade, genre, IMDb score, and others. Just fill out any of that information to get a list you can comb through, with links to free movie sites.

For example, I asked Yidio to find me free animation movies released since 2020 and to sort the list by IMDb rating. The top several results provided links to watch those films on Tubi, Roku, Pluto TV, and other free streaming sites.

This isn't a perfect service, but it works great nearly every time I use it.

Most if not all movies have subtitles.

Doesn't require a user account.

Several ways to browse the films.

Create a queue for easy passive watching.

Mostly uninteresting genres.

Lists shows alongside the movies.

Huge lists of videos that can't be sorted.

Plex is an interesting service because it's actually a much bigger package than it might seem at first. In addition to its massive collection of free full-length movies and TV shows, Plex also has live TV and associated software that serves as a really cool at-home media server .

Currently, there are tens of thousands of free movies and shows here. They're sectioned off in traditional genres like action and crime, but you can also browse by actor or channel. Plex has its own unique collections, too, including Based On a True Story, Til Death Do Us Part, Oh-My-Godzilla, Cheap Thrills, Midnight Movies, and Most Woof-listed .

On a movie's watch page are similar titles and additional details that help build a total picture of the film, like the full cast list, reviews, and trailers. I love this because it makes it easy to find other movies on Plex with the same stars.

See which movies on Plex are leaving soon to catch them before they go! Plex's Most Popular page lists these titles and more: Lord of War, Movie 43, The Impossible, To Kill a Mockingbird, and Knowing.

If you can't find what you want on Plex, the title you're interested in might still show up in the results, and you'll be given links to places you can buy/rent it (sort of like Yidio, listed above).

You don't need a user account.

Also has TV shows.

Save movies to a 'Watch Later' list.

Includes movie trailers.

The ads help fund the project and filmmakers.

Can't sort or filter any genre list.

Really distracting ads.

No age verification for NC-17 films.

Filmzie is built for streaming movies from independent filmmakers and both small and large studios. The site and app are well-designed, and there are plenty of great titles to stream.

Here are some collections I've seen here that are rare to find on a movie site: Directed by Women, Asia's Top Cinema, Cuddle-Up Comedies , and Independent Cinema .

Of course, over 20 traditional genres, like drama and thriller, are also available. Trending, new, and most-watched movies each have their own section as well.

Filmzie does a great job organizing its movies. This is the main reason I use it. That, and there are so many videos here that I have never even heard of, so it's the perfect place to find something brand new.

Some of this site's most-watched movies are The Wonderpill, The Hard Ride, and The Maid. Some trending titles over this last month include 5 Shells, In Tranzit , and Lady Chatterley's Lover.

I've used the website and the mobile app, and both work more or less the same as these other movie sites.

The Roku Channel

Provides high quality movies.

Includes newer films.

Works on computers, mobile devices, and TVs.

Offers customizable captions.

No user account needed.

Can't filter or sort any genre list.

Doesn't separate movies from shows in category lists.

Lists paid videos next to free ones.

You might already know about Roku's free movies if you have a Roku TV or streaming player. But even if you don't, you can still watch all the same free movies, TV shows, and live TV from a computer, phone, or tablet.

There are some ads in these movies, but the trade-off is high-quality videos and well-known movies.

On the home page are handy categories I have yet to find on another free movie site. They often change, but some that I've seen include Fools in Love, UFO Phenomenon, Teen Dramas, Reality Romance, Undercover Agents, Environment, and Mexican Action.

While there are also typical genre lists you can browse through, none of them let you sort by popularity or filter by rating or year. This is by far my biggest issue with the service. That, and both TV shows and movies are mixed into the same lists and said lists must be browsed horizontally in a carousel-like menu. It's just not super user-friendly.

However, I do like that you can search for actors and directors to find movies they're associated with. I also appreciate the Continue watching section.

Big selection, including recent films.

Good video quality.

Really great mobile app.

Can't sort films by popularity.

Available only in the US and its territories.

Crackle is a no-brainer for this list. I always come back to it to watch free movies online because of its list of hundreds of full-length films and original programming. These are big-name movies with stars I'm sure you know.

Although you have to sit through commercials, I find them to be relatively short, with only a few breaks during a movie.

Another reason I choose Crackle is because of its unique categories like Foreign Language, Stand-Up, British, Variety/Talk/Games, and Unidentified/Unexplained . It's fun to look through interesting genres like this.

A closed captioning toggle is available directly from the video player for all users but, if you sign up for an account (it's free), you can also enable parental controls (options are kids mode, teen mode, and grown-up mode).

Here are some examples of the most popular movies on Crackle: Rabbit, Ninja: Shadow Of A Tear, Red Line, Losin' It, Swift, and Dune Warriors.

Supports 'resume watching.'

Clearly shows which titles are leaving soon.

Genre lists can't be sorted.

Few unique genres.

Redbox is known for its DVD rental kiosks, but they also have free movie streams available through their website and mobile app. No matter where you use it, the user interface is quite bland, and you can't sort any of the lists. Still, I'll end up here from time to time if I can't find something good through these other services.

Like most movie sites, Redbox's collection can be browsed by genre to help you find dramas, kid movies, romance films, comedies, etc. Faith-Based is one category I haven't seen elsewhere.

Redbox also makes it super simple to see which movies are the most popular and which ones will be leaving the site soon. Some of the latest movies added to their streaming collection include Autumn Road, Repeat, Night Night, Megan , and Infinitum: Subject Unknown .

Includes thousands of free videos.

Adds new movies often.

No ads display within the movies.

Loads of genres to pick from.

Unique movies.

Must have a supported library card or school account.

The Kanopy movie streaming site is different from these other choices because you need a valid library card or university login before you can watch anything. However, there are zero commercials in the movies, and new films are added every month.

Use the Kanopy signup page to search for your library, whether it's a public library or one attached to a school. You can start watching movies after you've been approved.

Kanopy does a great job providing useful categories to look through. There's Short Film, History - Ancient, LGBTQ Cinema, War & Action, Sociology, Performing Arts, Human Rights, Everyday Health, and K-12 Lessons .

A few of the more popular movies here include Memento, The Girl on the Train, and Maurice.

There's also an entirely separate section for Kanopy kids movies . My son's old enough now to watch non-kid movies, but if he weren't, I'd be thrilled with this. There are subsections like Story Time and Read-Along Storybooks . You can also set up parental controls to force only age-appropriate content.

25 best free streaming sites for movies and TV: Legal and safe options

Looking for the best free streaming sites for movies and TV? We’ve compiled a list of the 25 best free streaming options across a range of content that you can view completely for free anywhere, whether you are in the US or abroad.

The best free TV and movie streaming services provide a safe and legal alternative to torrents and websites that illegally stream content. Websites that rely on torrents or unlicensed content streaming are more likely to carry malware or put users at risk of copyright infringement lawsuits.

Although there are no subscription fees, most free streaming sites use geographic content restrictions . So if you are currently traveling abroad, the only way to access free streaming sites back home is by using a Virtual Private Network , or VPN, that gives you a local IP address for your home country.

Note: Comparitech only recommends streaming services that have the legal rights to stream content, and only recommends using a VPN to access legally available TV shows and movies. Comparitech does not condone or support the use of piracy websites or services.

Below, we explore the 25 best free streaming sites you can use anywhere in the world, and when necessary, how to access their content libraries with a VPN.

How to use a VPN to stream free TV shows and movies

A VPN will help you securely access almost any free TV streaming service. Below we explain how to set up and run a VPN to change your IP address and watch free streaming sites for TV shows and movies.

Here’s how to use a VPN to stream free TV shows and movies:

• First, sign up for a VPN service of your choice. NordVPN works well for most streaming services, although Surfshark and ExpressVPN are reasonably-priced alternatives.
• Download and install your chosen VPN app onto the device you plan to use for free streaming. Unfortunately, most VPN services have no available app for some popular TV-connected devices (like the Roku) and most gaming consoles.
• Connect to a VPN server in the country where the free streaming services you want to use offer on-demand or live content. Most options we’ve listed geo-block any IP address outside the US, but there are several that US customers won’t be able to access without a VPN.
• Once connected , visit the streaming service website or app and try to load a stream. If it plays, you’re all set!

There’s a chance your streams won’t play on some devices despite a VPN connection . You may still get a message stating that your access is blocked. If that happens, try launching the website in a private web browsing instance (such as Incognito mode in Chrome). Additionally, delete cookies , clear your browser cache , and turn off browser or device location requests.

Why do I need a VPN for free TV streaming?

Most free streaming services are ad-supported. Ad-supported models typically result in lower profit margins, so services are usually forced to impose geographic content restrictions as part of the licensing agreement.

A  VPN will allow you to easily bypass these geographic content restrictions while traveling abroad. A VPN allows you to connect to an internet server back home in a country where the service is available. And thanks to anonymization technology, the VPN will prevent the streaming service from detecting your real location and identity .

There are hundreds of VPN providers on the market. Picking one that works to unblock free streaming sites and protect your privacy can be a challenge given how dense the market is.

The best VPNs for free TV streaming should meet the following criteria:

• Offer high-speed servers in dozens of countries (especially the US)
• Utilize well-respected privacy and security measures to protect your identity, particularly by providing a no-logs policy and data leak mitigation
• Provide multiple pricing options with discounts for longer service periods and a money-back guarantee
• Effectively works with the service you want to use
• Provides fast customer support and multiple ways to contact customer support
• Has app compatibility with multiple devices and operating systems

As an added note, we recommend you avoid free VPNs . They’re less secure, track your data, may sell your data to third parties, may display advertisements, usually have slower server speeds, and importantly, have data caps that make it impossible to stream TV shows and movies for more than a few minutes.

Best free streaming sites for TV shows and movies

We searched through hundreds of TV and movie streaming options to discover which services had free tiers, ad-supported subscription models, or free-to-air content. The following list comprises the 20+ services that have the best free streaming catalogs across a wide variety of genres. Some are not geo-restricted anywhere; however, most will require you to have a US IP address or a VPN that will give you one.

1. ABC News Live

If you’re hungering for TV news programs, you can’t go wrong with ABC News Live . The service provides completely unrestricted access to live news content directly from ABC News and operates 24/7.

This is a single-channel option for individuals who want to watch US news. What’s more, you don’t need a VPN to watch ABC News Live, regardless of where you live. It’s a truly free option for US news, without restrictions. ABC News Live is even accessible without a VPN in China , which often restricts content from Western countries like the US.

This site puts ads on all video content, which is to be expected. You can stream ABC News Live through its dedicated app on Android, iOS, Roku, Apple TV, or Amazon Fire TV, or you can watch using any modern web browser.

2. Adult Swim

Originally part of Comedy Central, Adult Swim is now its own, separate TV network currently owned by WarnerMedia. The WarnerMedia ownership gives Adult Swim access to not just a selection of Warner’s content, but a fairly large library of TV shows that you’ll only find on Adult Swim—including the ever-popular cartoon action-comedy, Rick and Morty.

This service has 100+ titles available on-demand . Much of its content library is offered free-with-ads, while many episodes require you to log in with a cable TV service provider, such as Hulu + Live TV. In both cases, you’re trying to stream Adult Swim outside the US.

If you try to connect from outside the US, Adult Swim will display a message that says “ BLOCKED: Sorry, there must be some sort of restriction on the content we are streaming here. Come back later or select another stream”.

If you see this message from your location, use NordVPN to connect to a US server so you can acquire a US IP address and zoom right past the geographic content blocking. We’ve found NordVPN easily unblocks what Adult Swim offers for free.

Charge! is one of several genre-specific TV streaming provides that focuses on 24/7 live streaming with an ad-supported model. Charge! is geared toward fans of action TV, although it does offer some sports content on occasion.

To reiterate, this is not an on-demand streaming service. All of its TV shows and movies are broadcast live. Its model means it operates like traditional over-the-air TV stations, except that its content streams online.

If you try to connect from outside the US, Charge! will display the following message: “This stream is not available in your area” .

Connecting to a VPN server in the US easily bypasses this message and allows you to watch all content streaming live through Charge!. If you don’t want to use a web browser, there’s an iOS app available that you can pair with a VPN app for iOS devices.

If you think Comet looks familiar, you’re right. It’s owned and operated by Sinclair Broadcasting Group, which also owns and operates Charge! The only difference between Charge! and Comet is that Comet is focused on science fiction TV shows and movies.

To that end, everything we said about Charge! above applies to Comet, right down to how it operates and where you’ll find available apps for watching it outside of a web browser. You’ll even see the same location-based blocking message if you try to stream Comet from outside of the US. NordVPN easily unblocks content streaming free through Comet as long as you’re connected to any US server.

CONtv began its life in 2007 as the streaming service Viewster. Content distributor Cinedigm purchased the website in 2019 and rebranded it. Alongside a new name, CONtv also upended the content library. What was once a free service focused on anime is now a free service focused on action and US-based cartoons.

The bigger change that occurred with CONtv, however, was the newly implemented geographic content restrictions. As Viewster, the service was available to stream anywhere. As CONtv, however, you may not be able to access the service everywhere.

That said, CONtv’s FAQs explain that it is only available in the US. We’ve discovered that’s not actually true . Through testing, we’ve found CONtv works in many other countries outside the US, including Canada, the UK, and Germany. It’s possible that some of CONtv’s content is blocked due to licensing agreements, but we did not find any among the titles we tested (and we did not test every TV series and movie on the site for accessibility). If you do find blocked content, a VPN to a US IP address will likely unblock it for you.

This service has apps for Android and iOS devices.

Crackle was previously owned by Sony (and previously named “Sony Crackle”) until Sony sold a majority stake of the service to the company Chicken Soup for the Soul Entertainment. The same company behind the well-known self-help book of the same name, Chicken Soup for the Soul Entertainment immediately went to work by changing the name (back to Crackle) and ramping up the original content production.

This service now has 1,300+ titles available. Crackle lost most of its top-rated Sony content with the ownership change. However, its library still has a wide range of ad-free, on-demand streaming TV shows and movies across different genres.

If you try to visit Crackle from outside the US, you’ll see this message: “Thanks for visiting. Unfortunately, we’re not currently available in this region.” . Connect to a NordVPN server in the US to get a US IP address and bypass Crackle’s geographic content blocking .

Crackle has a large number of apps on almost any device you may want to use, including most that also work with separate VPN apps.

The CW has some of the best TV show content available in the US, especially if you’re a DC Comics fan. Impressively, The CW also provides much of that content available for free through its ad-supported streaming service, CW Seed. The company even advertises the service with the tagline “Free For All”.

This service offers 80+ titles available on-demand. 

You’ll see the following message if you try to load CW Seed TV shows from outside of the US: “Due to licensing restrictions this content is only available in the US” . That’s pretty self-explanatory. Using NordVPN and a connection to a US server, you can easily bypass that message and access both the on-demand and live content available through CW Seed.

If you plan to download the app on an Android, iPhone, iPad, Apple TV, or Amazon Fire TV, there’s a NordVPN available on all of those devices that will still allow you to bypass geographic content blocking for the service.

8. Fawesome

This ad-supported streaming service is unique in its content is  only available through its dedicated apps. And its app library is fairly limited.

You can stream Fawesome’s 250+ titles on Roku and Amazon Fire TV devices, using its Windows app or using an app for LG smart TVs.

Fawsome has some excellent content available, despite inflexibility on how to watch it. Its multi-genre library includes major TV and movie hits, like Third Rock From the Sun and The Contract .

No VPN is required as far as we can tell, but blocking may be imposed if you’re in a country known for blocking American content, such as China.

9. FilmRise (via YouTube)

FilmRise is a content distribution company that acquires licenses for various TV shows and movies. Its content is available on a large number of different streaming services, but you can access most of it through the company’s YouTube channels or its dedicated iOS, Android, and streaming device apps.

This service carries 1,500+ titles in its library.

Geographic content blocking on FilmRise is a real hit-and-miss. We’ve found that some TV shows and movies on its YouTube channel are blocked to non-US users, while others will play almost anywhere.

For example, FilmRise has full episodes of the US TV show 21 Jump Street , but you can’t watch those episodes through FilmRise’s YouTube channel if you’re a country outside the US, such as Canada, the UK, or Germany. Instead, you’ll get YouTube’s standard content blocking message: “Video unavailable. The uploader has not made this video available in your country” .

Grab a US IP address by connecting to a NordVPN server located in the US to bypass any content blocking you might find when using FilmRise. If you’re in the US and you see a geographic content blocking message from FilmRise, you will also need a VPN. However, you may need to do some trial and error by connecting to servers in different countries to determine where that content is available.

10. BBC iPlayer

BBC iPlayer is the UK’s largest free-to-watch streaming platform, carrying a regularly-updated library of TV shows, movies, and radio broadcasts. What’s more, it allows users to watch around a dozen channels live. These include the big ones, such as BBC One and BBC Two, as well as regional channels like S4C and Alba, which are some of the only places you can stream Welsh and Gaelic content online.

The only catch is that you’ll need a TV license to use this platform. Still, with around 95 percent of UK households currently paying for one, there’s a strong chance you can watch BBC iPlayer without spending anything extra.

BBC iPlayer is only available in the UK, so if you’re traveling abroad, you’ll need a VPN to continue using the service.

11. Amazon Freevee

This service used to be called IMDb TV, but after being bought by Amazon, it has since been integrated into the company’s streaming library. Don’t worry, though: you do not need an Amazon Prime account to watch , though you will have to create a free Amazon account (if you have one that you use for shopping, this will do nicely).

According to JustWatch, Freevee currently has over 3,000 ad-supported titles to choose from. This includes high-profile movies like Hellraiser , Reservoir Dogs , and District 9 , but there are also plenty of great TV shows, such as Hell’s Kitchen , The West Wing , and Syfy’s drastically-underrated Dune series. Freevee even has a steadily-growing catalog of original content, which isn’t something most other free services can say.

Now, it’s important to note that Freevee is region-locked, which means the exact content will vary based on where you are in the world. Still, you can continue to access your home country’s library as you travel with the help of a VPN.

12. Kidoodle.TV

The Kidoodle.TV streaming service has an ad-supported “freemium” version and a paid version that has a few additional features, including an ad-free experience. Similar to HappyKids.tv, Kidoodle.TV has very few geographic content restrictions in place.

The company states its service is available in over 140 countries, so you’ll likely find it works just fine wherever you live. If you find you’re getting blocked, we recommend you try to connect to a VPN server in a country where it’s likely to be available, such as the US, Canada, the UK, or most EU countries.

Also similar to HappyKids.tv, Kidoodle cannot be streamed using a web browser. However, there are apps available for most Android and iOS devices, several smart TV brands, and popular TV-connected devices, including the Amazon Fire TV, Roku, and Apple TV. Just note that there is are no VPN apps for Roku devices or smart TVs, so if you do find the service blocked in your country, the simplest workaround is to use a different device.

Often considered the US version of the BBC, PBS does have one distinguishing factor: You don’t need to pay a TV license to access much of its content. That means it’s a legitimately free streaming service. PBS does lock some of its content behind a donation paywall, but a fair amount is freely available.

This service has 190+ titles in its content library.

PBS employs content blocking across its site. In some cases, you won’t be able to see available episodes for a show’s page. If someone without a US IP address does manage to get access to an episode’s page, PBS will display this message on the stream: “We’re sorry, but this video is unavailable” .

A VPN connection to a US server is required to access PBS on-demand TV shows and documentaries from outside the US. Note that PBS will also give you varied content based on your location if you’re trying to use the live option. The server you choose will impact what content you get in that case.

14. Peacock

As a counter to Paramount+ (formerly CBS All Access), NBC launched its own streaming service called Peacock. Peacock chose to go a different route than its competitor, however, and provides an ad-supported free tier for subscribers.

This service offers 1,300+ titles in its free library.

The free content available through Peacock comes with two conditions: 1) You need to create an account, and 2) You must be in the US (or have a US IP address). These are easy hurdles to jump, but if you’re outside of the US Peacock will block your entry completely. Going to the website with a non-US IP address yields the following message: “This service is unavailable in your region” .

Grab a US IP address using NordVPN, then load up the Peacock website. From there, you can register using any email address and some other basic information. Peacock does not ask for credit card details for the free account, so anyone can sign up to use it.

This service is also available via apps for most popular devices, many of which can be paired with a VPN app where available.

This service offers 7,100+ titles on-demand.

However, Plex will serve different content libraries and live TV channels to different users based on geographic location. So while it doesn’t use content blocking, you may want to install and load up a VPN, then connect to different servers worldwide to unlock the full library of free content Plex offers.

The service also has apps for popular operating systems and devices where VPNs will unblock content, including Android, iOS, Apple TV, and Amazon Fire TV.

16. PlutoTV

This service was one of the first to start offering free, ad-supported live TV channels streaming over the web. It’s now among the largest and best free streaming sites for TV and movies thanks to an extensive amount of corporate from 170+ content providers, including Lionsgate, MGM, and many US cable TV networks.

PlutoTV carries 6,800+ titles on-demand.

The good news is that PlutoTV is available almost anywhere in the world. The bad news is that the complexity of its content library means it displays different content to different people based on location. NordVPN works with PlutoTV and allows you to access its content libraries anywhere its available, including the US, Canada, UK, and EU countries such as Germany.

The Pluto.TV app is available on devices that also have a working NordVPN app: Android, iOS, and Fire TV.

17. Popcornflix

This service is a fairly generic free TV and movie streaming site. There’s nothing flashy about it, but it does carry an excellent variety of TV shows and movies across every popular genre.

There are 1,300+ titles available through this service.

From what we can tell, it does not impose a site-wide content blocking. In fact, the ads it plays on videos are localized based on your IP address. Live in Hong Kong? You’ll get ads for Hong Kong residents. Live in Canada? You’ll get ads for Canadian products and services.

There might be some title-specific geo-blocking applied, as this is common when sites like this have licensed content. However, we did not see any during testing. If you do find any content that’s blocked, we’ve verified that Popcornflix does work with a VPN.

If you plan to watch Popcornflix on devices outside of a desktop or laptop computer, its Android, iOS, and Fire TV apps can be paired with VPN apps for those devices.

18. SBS On Demand

SBS On Demand is singlehandedly one of the best streaming sites for TV shows and movies anywhere in the world. It carries top-rated streaming from around the world, including many Oscar-winning titles.

There are over 11,000 hours of content available through this service.

SBS On Demand is based in and serves the Australian market. Accessing its impressive content library requires an Australian IP address. If you try to go to the SBS On Demand website from outside of Australia, you’ll see the following message: “Content unavailable in your location. Most of our content is only available to stream within Australia due to publishing rights” .

We’ve found this service does not block VPNs. Connect to a VPN server in Australia to get an Australia-based IP address and stream SBS On Demand from anywhere, including from the US.

19. Sling TV

Although it’s known more widely as the second-cheapest virtual multichannel video programming distributor in the US (Philo takes the top spot there), Sling TV has an almost hidden free streaming section that anyone with a US IP address can take advantage can use, even without creating a Sling TV account.

The free version offers 550+ titles on-demand.

Sling TV imposes site-wide geographic content blocking. Even trying to access its homepage will give you the following message: “We’re sorry. Sling TV is only available inside the US. Thank you for your interest” .

To get rid of this message and get to the free content, connect to a VPN server in the US. Sling TV will then let you right in and allow you to enjoy its free TV shows and movies.

Stirr offers free TV and movies to anyone, but you’re going to be extremely limited if you’re outside of the US. This service takes a unique approach by mixing your free channel and movies based on what US city you live in, and not by country. If you try to use Stirr with an IP address from outside of the US, the service will show you its “National” package of content, which is almost nothing.

Connecting to a US VPN server through NordVPN or other VPN providers is necessary to gain access to Stirr’s content libraries. But you may also want to hop around to different servers in the US to see what type of content you get.

That recommendation also applies to US users, as well. Since Stirr will show you different channels based on your city, you may want to use a VPN to get the full benefit of the service.

Stirr has apps several devices that also work with VPN apps: Android, iOS, and Amazon Fire TV.

Tubi’s winning free-with-ad model allowed it to grow to become one of the largest and best-streaming sites for TV and movies. It also caught the attention of Fox Corporation, which purchased the site in 2020.

This service carries 28,000+ titles in its content library.

Tubi was previously available in multiple countries and offered different libraries where available. Now, however, its expansive library of top-rated TV shows and movies is only available to those with a US IP address.

If you try to stream from outside the US (but from a non-EU country), the service displays the following block message: “Content unavailable. Sorry, this video is not currently available”.

And if you try to connect from an EU country, you’ll get this message: “I’ll be back. – Terminator. Tubi is the largest free movie and TV streaming service in the US. We are not available in Europe due to changes in EU laws. The GDPR went into effect on May 2018; Tubi is working on compliance and planning to re-launch in European countries soon”.

There may be hope in the future that Tubi will bring its services overseas. For now, a VPN works well to bypass its existing content blocks.

Tubi is available through multiple apps for devices that work with a VPN, including Android, iOS, and Amazon Fire TV.

Although it primarily operates as a service for buying and renting digital TV shows and movies, Vudu also carries many free titles that are supported by advertisements.

You can watch 8,700+ titles through Vudu.

The service is only available in the US, however. It doesn’t even both to provide an IP block message. If you try to access the site from outside of the US, you’ll just see an HTTP ERROR 400 page.

Connect to any US VPN server to get an IP address and bypass this restriction. You can also watch with a bypass on multiple devices thanks to a large library of dedicated apps for Android, iOS, Apple TV, Fire TV, and more.

23. Watch4 and W4Free

Although most of the best free streaming sites for TV and movies are locked to the US, there still many options available elsewhere. Watch4 is an EU-based streaming website primarily serving German speakers across Europe. It also has an English-language version called W4Free that’s only available in the UK.

While both sites will let you make a connection if you’re outside of their respective licensing zones, the content libraries will be mostly blank. We’ve verified that a VPN connection using NordVPN will work with both services, regardless of where you’re located.

XUMO is owned by Comcast and was designed to take on PlutoTV. It utilizes the same style and concept that PutoTV developed, but carries some notable differences. The biggest distinguishing factor is probably the most important one: XUMO has a notably different package of 24/7 channels and on-demand TV shows and movies. That means you’ll find enough difference between XUMO and PlutoTV that it’s not really an either/or situation; both will have value for you.

This service provides 10,000+ in its on-demand library.

None of that matters if you can’t access XUMO’s content . XUMO is currently restricted to US IP addresses. If you attempt to access XUUMO from outside the US, you’ll see the following message: “We’re sorry. XUMO is currently only available in the United States. If you’re in the United States and are having problems accessing this site, please visit www.xumo.com/support” . XUMO will then automatically redirect you to its corporate site.

We’ve found VPNs work to bypass Xumo’s geographic content blocking, but the service uses fairly effective anti-VPN countermeasures. You may need to contact your VPN provider’s customer support to determine which VPN servers effectively bypass its content blocking.

25. YouTube

Although it’s available almost everywhere, YouTube’s content is not universally available. Many content uploaders place geographic content restrictions when they upload the content. YouTube then employs its own software to enforce those restrictions by detecting each users’ IP address to determine location.

YouTube’s content licensing arm offers 270+ titles on-demand, alongside the millions from its userbase.

FimRise (mentioned above) is just one example of a channel that uses geographic restrictions. Given its size, there are hundreds, if not thousands more that also block content. Thankfully, a VPN will work to bypass any geographic content restrictions you find through YouTube.

Best free streaming sites: FAQ

What are the best free streaming sites.

This depends on what type of content you’re looking for. If you want variety and well-known titles, SBS On Demand and Tubi TV are hard to beat. Both have the best quality of content we’ve found. You’ll also find that their libraries don’t intersect too often, so there’s value in using both services instead of one or the other.

Is 123movies safe? Is 123movies legal?

While it’s a popular go-to for people who want free TV shows and movies, 123movies is neither safe nor legal. It does not maintain any licensing agreements with copyright holders for any of the content you will find on the website. And as a pirate streaming site, it also does not have any reason to protect users from malware or other threats. We do not recommend this site for streaming. The options listed above are all free, just like 123movies, but without the privacy, security, and legality risks.

Where can I stream for free?

Any option on this list will allow you to stream for free. Crackle, Tubi TV, YouTube, Peacock, SBS On Demand, and all of the others are ad-supported streaming providers. Most do not even require an account.

Which illegal free streaming sites should I avoid?

Illegal streaming sites are platforms that offer pirated content for free, often in exchange for users watching ads. These sites are not only illegal but also pose significant risks to users. This can include potential legal trouble, exposure to malware, hacks, poor-quality content, and viruses.

Some of the most frequented illegal streaming sites for movies and TV shows include Moviesjoy, Putlocker, 123Movies, IndoXXI, SportsBay, WatchSeries, DramaCool, The Pirate Bay and uTorrent.

Watch Free Movies Online

What all these movies have in common is that they are available for viewing online free of charge. They might be part of the free movie catalog on a free movie site that also offers pay to stream films, such as Hulu. They might be available on an all free site such as Crackle or Snagfilms. Watching these free movies online does not require a subscription, a rental fee or a purchase of any kind. They're an easy answer to the question of how to watch movies for free online.

Free Online Movie Streaming Sites

You won't need to sign up for anything in order to watch free movies online. You don't need to have a subscription or an account with these sites in order to watch these movies. But the sites don't know who you are. They may require that you enter your birth date to verify that you're old enough to watch movies intended for mature audiences. All the movies should be able to stream without download, and you often can watch in HD movie quality. Use Yidio to sort by IMDB Score or Rotten Tomatoes.

Sometimes, streaming platforms will use free content to entice viewers to explore other content on the platform. Some TV networks, for example, will offer a limited number of episodes of the current season of TV series for free. These episodes are free to watch for a limited time. But if you want to watch entire seasons or older episodes, you'll often have to pay extra or sign up for a paid subscription.

Netflix, too, is increasingly offering access to some of its series and original movies to non-subscribers. This content is free for anyone to watch without a Netflix subscription. But the streamer hopes that you'll be so entertained by the free content when you watch movies online free. Then you'll be willing to pay for a subscription to the service.

Thousands of Free Online Movies

The catalogs of free content on these platforms can be extensive. Tubi offers thousands of free movies and TV shows, all of it available for free, no subscription or credit card required. Vudu has a library of more than 150,000 movies. Many of these movies are available for purchase or rental. But many of them, as well as many complete TV series seasons, are available at no charge.

Peacock, a new service from NBCUniversal, offers hundreds of movies and thousands of TV episodes from the media giant's catalog. And it's all free to stream on the platform's website. Crackle offers an impressive catalog of theatrical movies. And it also offers a library of original series and movies you can only watch on the Crackle platform. The Roku Channel offers hundreds of movie, live news and TV series. Some have complete seasons. All this is free to viewers who use Roku streaming devices.

Free Movies on Streaming Websites

The no-charge content on these platforms is a little different from the free trials offered by many subscription streaming services. The content on Crackle or Peacock, for example, is available without the need to set up an account on the platform. You also don't have to provide any payment information. Free-trial services work a little differently. Many premium streaming platforms, such as Disney+ and Apple TV+, offer free trial periods during which you can watch their content without paying. The same is true of many network streaming platforms such as STARZ or Showtime. The difference is that you'll need to sign up for an account on the platform and provide payment information. You won't be charged a subscription fee during the free-trial period. But if you don't cancel by the time the trial period ends, your account will automatically convert to a paid subscription. You'll be charged the subscription fee.

Keeping Free Movies Online

Of course, there's often a trade-off involved when it comes to watching movies for free. Sites often subsidize their free streaming movies offerings by including advertising along with the films. Movies may be prefaced with an ad or two. Sometimes there will be periodic commercial breaks throughout the movie. The ads are generally as unobtrusive as ads can be. And in the case of TV series, the experience is much like watching an episode on traditional broadcast TV. The ads allow the streaming platform to make money without charging the viewer a subscription fee. They're crucial to keeping the content free of charge. Many viewers find that it's worth a few commercials to avoid paying a subscription or rental fee.
