CapCut: Photo & Video Editor16.8.1

Turn photos and footage on an Android device into edited videos with music, effects, text, and polished timing. CapCut: Photo & Video Editor is freeware published by Bytedance Pte. Ltd., designed for capturing, trimming, arranging, and refining personal moments. It suits creators preparing posts for TikTok, YouTube, Instagram, WhatsApp, or Facebook, as well as people making videos for personal projects.

A multi-track timeline lets users arrange and preview clips, while trimming, splitting, merging, transitions, zoom effects, brightness and contrast adjustments, and freeze frames shape the edit. Playback speed can be set anywhere from 0.1x to 100x, with speed curves for changing pace within a clip. Keyframe animation works across all settings, and optical-flow slow motion, chroma key color removal, and stabilization provide more advanced control over footage. Automatic background removal, motion tracking, speech-recognition captions, and text-to-speech with multiple languages and voices handle tasks that would otherwise require manual work.

Text tools offer fonts, styles, templates, locally imported fonts, and subtitles that can be positioned and adjusted on video tracks. Users can apply weekly-updated filters and effects such as Glitch, Blur, and 3D, add music or sound effects, or extract audio, video clips, and recordings from existing videos. Version 16.8.1 fixes known issues and improves the trimming experience; additional features are available through a paid version.

Free to use — a paid version with additional features is also available.
