What it does
CapCut is an editing suite for video, images and audio that is offered as an online editor and as desktop, tablet (Pad) and mobile apps. The site presents it as a way to make content for platforms such as YouTube and Instagram. AI features on the site include video and image generators that work from text, reference images or keyframes, an AI design tool for layouts, and a video studio where you chat with the AI editor to have a video built from scratch. For sound and text there are automatic captions, speech recognition, text to speech with natural-sounding voices, voice enhancement and background-noise reduction. Image tools listed include background removal, upscaling and enhancement, resizing, an online photo editor, a meme generator, and removal of text or people from pictures. Video tools cover trimming, background removal, format conversion and adding subtitles, and a library of templates for social media, business and holiday content gives a starting point. The homepage invites visitors to try the editor online for free with no credit card required. Plan prices are not shown on the page.
