About Kapwing
Kapwing is a browser-based video editor built around team collaboration. Several people can work in a shared workspace with brand kits and comments, and the editor covers trimming, a multitrack timeline, text and captions, resizing for different platforms, and AI tools such as subtitles, translation, dubbing, speaker focus, silence removal, clip generation from long videos and text-based editing. It is used by marketing, social and training teams who want fast turnaround without installing software. Pricing uses monthly credits for AI features: the free plan allows unlimited exports with a watermark, at 720p and up to a few minutes long, while Pro removes the watermark and allows 4K exports and larger uploads, and Business adds more credits and team controls. Like other browser editors it depends on upload speed and is not ideal for long, high-resolution footage, and the credit system can be hard to predict. It suits teams that edit social and marketing content together.
Best for: Content and marketing teams editing social videos together in the browser.
