Free Online Video Editor — Cut, Grade & Mix
A real nonlinear video editor in your browser: a multitrack timeline for cutting and arranging clips, color grading, and audio mixing. Exports carry no watermark, and your footage is decoded and encoded on your own device — nothing is uploaded to a rendering farm.
FilmCraft
Nonlinear video editing with color and sound — no watermark, no upload.
First launch downloads ≈13 MB, then it's cached for a year. Nothing is uploaded — your files stay on this device.
This is a desktop-class app — it works best on a larger screen.
Quick Answer
This free online video editor is a nonlinear editor that runs in your browser: drop clips onto a multitrack timeline, trim and arrange them, grade the color, and mix the audio, then export a finished video. Decoding and encoding happen on your device, so footage never leaves your machine and exports carry no watermark. First launch downloads about 13 MB; after that the editor is cached for a year.
How It Works
Click Launch — the editor downloads once (about 13 MB) and is cached for a year
Import your clips and drag them onto the timeline
Cut and arrange, then grade color and balance audio
Export the finished video straight to your downloads folder

Frequently Asked Questions
Is there really no watermark on exported videos?
Correct — exports are clean. The editor is FilmCraft, an open-source application (MIT/Apache-2.0) embedded here exactly as published. There is no paid tier to unlock and no branding stamped on your work.
Are my videos uploaded to a server for processing?
No. The editor runs as WebAssembly in your browser, and video decoding, editing, and encoding all happen on your device. That is also why it works offline once loaded. Browser-based does mean your machine does the rendering — for long videos, a desktop gives the smoothest experience.
Can it replace my paid video editor?
For everyday cutting — trimming, rearranging, color, and audio — yes. It is a genuine nonlinear editor with a keyframable timeline, not a template toy. High-end features of mature suites (collaborative workflows, some specialist effects) are beyond it; the project moves quickly, and it costs nothing to keep it installed alongside your main tool as a free option.
What file formats does it handle?
It works with the standard browser-decodable media formats — MP4/H.264 and WebM among them — for both input and export. For pure format conversion (e.g., MP4 to WebM or GIF), the single-purpose converters on this site are quicker than opening the full editor.
How much computer do I need?
Video is the most demanding media type: a modern laptop or desktop with 8 GB of RAM or more gives a comfortable experience, and a current browser with WebGPU (or WebGL2) handles the preview rendering. Phones can open it, but timeline editing wants a bigger screen and a pointer.
