Cut, caption, and export short video on any device
CapCut is a timeline editor for phone, desktop, and web. Trim clips, add text and effects, and export, with paid plans for premium assets and AI tools.
Free to download and edit. Projects that use assets marked Pro need a subscription to export.
What you can do
One account across devices
CapCut runs on phone, desktop, and web, and a Pro subscription applies on all three once you sign in.
A real free tier
Cutting, trimming, filters, transitions, and text are free. You can export as long as no Pro assets are in the project.
Paid assets are clearly marked
Anything that needs a subscription carries a Pro icon, so you can swap it for a free option before export.
Room for bigger projects on Pro
The current Pro plan lists 1,200 AI credits and 1 TB of cloud storage for work that moves between devices.
How it works
- 01
Import your media
Start a new project on the app, desktop, or web and bring in video, photos, or audio from your device.
- 02
Edit on the timeline
Trim and split clips, then add transitions, text, stickers, effects, and audio. Assets marked with a Pro icon need a subscription.
- 03
Export the finished clip
Pick the resolution and frame rate, then save the file or share it. Pro adds 4K and 60fps export without a watermark.
Who it’s for
CapCut suits people who edit short social clips, class projects, product demos, or family videos and want one editor across a phone and a computer. It fits quick turnarounds where you trim, add text and music you have rights to, and export the same day. If you need premium templates or more AI credits, the paid plans are there.
Choose whether you need paid assets
Basic editing is free. CapCut sells Standard and Pro subscriptions, and the price you see depends on your region, device, taxes, and promotions.
