CapCut

CapCut is a video editing application developed by ByteDance, available on mobile, desktop, and the web. It offers a full editing timeline alongside automated tools for trimming, transitions, effects, and audio, making short-form and social video production accessible to a broad audience.

The app is designed for social media creators, marketers, and casual users who want quick, polished results. Standout features include automatic captions, background removal, text-to-speech, a large library of templates and effects, and AI-driven editing that speeds up common tasks. Projects sync across devices for flexible editing.

CapCut is free to use with an optional Pro subscription that unlocks premium effects, assets, and cloud features. Launched in 2020 as the international counterpart to ByteDance's Jianying editor, it has become one of the most widely used consumer video tools worldwide.
