Kapwing

Kapwing is the 2025 AI-powered video workspace that lets teams edit, subtitle and resize content in minutes, directly in the browser. Trusted by Morning Brew and Stanford, it turns raw footage into TikTok-ready clips with one-click Smart Cut, 94 % auto-caption accuracy and real-time collaboration. Free tier offers 720p; Pro unlocks 4K, brand kits and 120 GB cloud storage at $24 per seat.

Instant Resize

One click re-frames 16:9 source into 9:16, 1:1 or 4:5 while keeping the focal subject center-weighted. Marketers routinely repurpose hour-long webinars into 15-second Reels in under five minutes .

Timeline-less Editing

Non-technical users love the drag-drop interface, but power editors miss J-cuts and audio scrubbing. The compromise: a simplified layer stack plus keyboard shortcuts for ripple trims.

Template Ecosystem

Over 3 000 pre-built templates span podcast audiograms, product drops and e-learning lower-thirds. Each template is natively responsive—change the text once and Kapwing auto-reflows positioning for every aspect ratio.

Cloud Exports & Storage

Free plan keeps projects for 30 days; Pro lifts the cap and unlocks 4K exports. All renders happen server-side (AWS G4dn GPU instances), so even a Chromebook churns out broadcast-quality files.
