Collaborative browser video editor with AI repurposing, voice clones, and lip sync
What is Kapwing?
Kapwing is a browser-based video editor with a collaborative timeline that lets teams edit together the way they would in Figma. AI features include text-to-video generation, automatic subtitles and translations, voice cloning, lip sync, and a Repurpose Studio that splits long videos into platform-specific social clips. Free exports carry a watermark and 720p ceiling; Pro removes both.

Business fit
Right for you if you're a marketing, social, or training team cranking out short-form video weekly and want non-editor teammates to drop feedback directly on the timeline. Skip if you need pro-grade color grading or work primarily with multicam 4K footage, where Premiere or DaVinci still win. The Business tier ($50/mo annual) is where custom voice clones and lip sync unlock, which matters if you're localizing creator content. Watermark on Free makes it functionally a trial.
