CapCut is published by ByteDance, the parent company of TikTok. It has become the go-to editor for vertical videos, first on phones, then on desktop and in the browser.
What CapCut is for
Cutting and joining clips, adding music, transitions and text, generating captions automatically, reframing for TikTok, Instagram or YouTube Shorts. Templates let you put a video together in a few minutes.
Who is it for?
Short-form creators and anyone starting out with video editing. More demanding users will turn to DaVinci Resolve or Kdenlive, which go further on desktop.
Download CapCut safely
Install it from Google Play, the App Store or capcut.com. The “free CapCut Pro” versions offered elsewhere are modified apps, often bundled with malware.
