About
CapCut is a video editing app made by ByteDance, the company behind TikTok. It launched internationally in 2020 after starting in China as Jianying. Many people use it to edit short videos for TikTok, Instagram Reels and YouTube Shorts.
The app lets users cut and join clips, add music, text and stickers, and apply filters, transitions and effects. Templates let people drop their own clips into a ready made edit. Auto captions turn speech into on screen text. The desktop and web versions add a fuller timeline for longer projects. CapCut also offers tools for product videos and ads aimed at small businesses.
The core editor is free. CapCut Pro is a paid subscription that unlocks more effects, extra cloud storage and advanced tools, and some features are limited to paying users. CapCut runs on iOS, Android, Windows, Mac and the web. In the US the app was briefly removed from app stores in January 2025 alongside TikTok under the US ban law, then returned. It is widely used by young creators in the US, the UK and Europe.
