Online Video Editor

A full video editor that runs in your browser

This free online video editor lets you cut, caption and finish a video without installing anything and without uploading your files. Drop in videos, photos and music, arrange them on a multi-track timeline, add text, captions, effects and sound, then download an MP4. It’s built for YouTube videos, vlogs, Shorts, Reels and TikToks, and there’s no watermark and no sign-up.

Everything is processed on your own device. Your footage never leaves your computer, which also means there’s no waiting for uploads.

How to edit a video

1. Add your clips. Drop videos, photos and music onto the page or click Choose files. You can also record your webcam, your screen or a voiceover from the Record tab. Click Try a demo to explore with a sample project.
2. Arrange and trim. Clips land on the timeline. Drag a clip to move it, drag its ends to trim it, and press S to split it at the playhead. Drag across an empty part of the timeline to select several clips at once.
3. Add text, captions, music and effects. Use the tabs on the left. Click any item on the preview to move, resize or rotate it, and fine-tune it in the panel on the right.
4. Export. Click Export, choose a resolution from 480p to 4K and a quality, and download your MP4.

Can’t find something? Type what you want to do in the search box at the top, such as “remove background” or “slow motion”. It explains the steps and takes you to the option.

AI tools that run on your device

• Remove background: cut a person out of a video or photo with no green screen, then blur the background, replace it with a color or put your own picture behind them.
• Auto captions: turn speech into captions timed to every word. Choose full lines, a few words or one word at a time.
• Remove silences: cut the pauses out of a talking clip automatically.
• Enhance voice: make speech clearer and more even.
• Auto-lower music: background music dips by itself while someone is talking.
• Blur a face or area: hide a face, a number plate or part of a screen.

The models for captions and background removal are small and download once, the first time you use them.

Captions people actually watch

Pick from 12 caption styles, including Karaoke, Hype, Neon, Comic and Typewriter. Add a word effect so each word lights up, pops, gets a box or is revealed as it’s spoken, and choose an animation, a position and a size for all your captions in one place. You can import or download captions as an .srt file.

Need just one thing?

If you only need a quick fix, a single-purpose tool can be faster. Use the Video Trimmer to cut a clip without re-encoding, the Subtitle Generator to make a subtitle file, or the Video Background Remover to cut out a background.

Frequently asked questions

Is this video editor free?

Yes. It’s free, with no sign-up, no watermark on your exports and no limit on how many videos you make.

Are my videos uploaded?

No. The editor runs in your browser, and your videos, photos and audio stay on your device. Only the tool’s own files are downloaded, such as fonts and the small models used for auto captions and background removal.

What formats can I import and export?

You can import the video, photo and audio files your browser can play, such as MP4, MOV, WebM, MP3, WAV, M4A, PNG and JPG. You can export MP4 (H.264 with AAC sound) or WebM, from 480p up to 4K, at 24 to 60 frames per second.

How do I add captions to a video?

Open AI tools and click Auto captions. A small speech model runs in your browser and turns speech into captions timed to each word. Then pick a caption style and a word effect in the Captions tab. You can also type captions yourself or import an .srt file.

Can I remove a video background without a green screen?

Yes. Select the clip and click Remove background in AI tools. The person is cut out, and you can leave the background transparent, blur it or fill it with a color. Put a photo or video on the track below to use it as the new background.

Can I make vertical videos for Shorts, Reels and TikTok?

Yes. Click the size button in the top bar and choose 9:16. There are also 16:9, 1:1, 4:5, 4:3 and 21:9 canvases.

Where are my projects saved?

Each video is saved automatically as its own project in your browser on this device. Click Projects to open, switch or delete them. To back up a project or move it to another computer, save it to a project file.

Which browser works best?

Use a recent version of Chrome or Edge on a desktop or laptop. The editor also has a phone layout, but long or high-resolution videos need the memory of a computer.

How long can my video be?

There’s no fixed limit. Long videos work, but the export is built in your device’s memory, so very long 4K exports may need a smaller resolution on computers with little memory.
