Kapwing offers a surprisingly powerful video editor that runs entirely in the web browser and requires no installation. The AI features include automatic subtitle generation, intelligent background removal, and “Smart Cut” which automatically removes silences and pauses. Particularly practical is the ability to collaborate in real time, allowing teams to work together on projects.
The free offering is comparatively generous: videos up to 4 minutes in length can be exported unlimited, though with a Kapwing watermark. For professional use without a watermark and with access to all premium features, the Pro subscription from $16 per month is the right choice. Compared to native desktop apps, Kapwing can be somewhat slower with very long or complex videos, but for most social media projects the speed is perfectly adequate.
