What Is Kapwing?

Kapwing is an online editor for producing and repurposing video, image, and audio content without installing desktop software. Its editor includes automatic subtitles, Smart Cut, Automatic B-Roll, resizing, vocal separation, and Eye Contact tools, while shared workspaces support link-based collaboration, timestamped comments, Brand Kits, and reusable branded assets.

Best for: Social, content, and creative teams producing short-form and marketing videos collaboratively in a browser.

Kapwing keeps collaborative video editing in a browser environment, useful when non-editors contribute captions, formats and revisions. Export quality and AI usage allowances vary with subscription level, making it important to plan how many projects will require higher-resolution deliverables or extensive generated media.
