About CapCut
ByteDance's video editor — the one most short-form creators actually use. Auto-captions, AI background removal, text-to-speech, effects library, and TikTok-native export, all free for most of what creators need. AI features strong enough that professionals have quietly switched from desktop editors for social content. The default video editor for a generation of short-form creators.
