Free-to-start video editor with AI captions, templates, and background removal for social clips.
Overview
CapCut is a video editor from ByteDance available on phone, desktop, and in the browser. It covers trimming, multi-track timelines, transitions, auto captions, text-to-speech, AI background removal, and a large library of templates sized for TikTok, Reels, and Shorts. Small shops and service businesses use it to cut phone footage into product demos, before-and-after reels, and promo clips without a paid editing suite. Its commerce features include AI product shots and script-to-video for marketing videos. Exports go directly to TikTok and can be saved for other platforms. The free tier covers most basic editing, while Pro unlocks premium effects, 4K export, cloud storage, and heavier AI usage. One caveat: features and prices shift often by region and app store, and some effects and music tracks in the library are not cleared for commercial use, so check licensing before publishing ads.
