A browser-based video editor for creating, editing, trimming, and adding subtitles to videos without installing software.
Why it is useful
Handles the video editing tasks that come up most frequently — trimming, adding text overlays, auto-generating subtitles, and resizing for different platforms — in a browser without installation. The AI subtitle generation is accurate enough to use with light correction rather than manual transcription. Free tier includes most core features with a watermark on exported videos, which is acceptable for many use cases.
