CapCut is a video and photo editing app made for content on YouTube, Instagram, TikTok and similar platforms. It runs as a desktop program (CapCut Desktop), a mobile app, a tablet app (CapCut Pad) and an editor in the web browser (CapCut Online).
The editor does the usual timeline work: it cuts and trims clips, adds transitions and exports HD video. Many steps use AI models. Auto captions turn the speech in a video into subtitles in several languages, text-to-speech reads a script aloud with synthetic voices, and background removal cuts the person or object out of a video or photo. Generators turn a text prompt, images or keyframes into new video clips or pictures. Ready-made templates give the layout, effects and timing for common formats such as social posts and holiday videos.
A free plan includes basic tools and free templates. Paid plans (Pro, Ultra and Teams) are monthly or yearly subscriptions that add premium templates, cloud storage and a monthly amount of AI credits.
