By the far the most user friendly software to use.
As a housewife at home looking to start a Youtube channel for fun with absolutely zero editing experience, it was so easy for me to teach myself via their YouTube channel. It takes the tediousness out of editing and encourages creativity. As long as Kapwing is around, I will be using their software.

Love this site.
As an English Foreign Language Teacher, this site helps me to quickly subtitle interesting videos that I can use in class. The students love the videos, and the subtitles really help them to learn new vocabulary as well as better understand and follow the video.

[It] works perfectly for me. Have been using Kapwing for a year or so, and their automatic subtitle tool gets better and better every week, it's rare that I have to correct a word. Keep up the good work!

Frequently Asked Questions

Bob, our kitten, thinking

How do I change the format of a video file?

Video converters like Kapwing allow you to change a video’s format, whether to another video type or an image format like JPEG. Converting between formats may alter the file’s frame rate and size, depending on the output format. Kapwing supports conversions to MP4, audio files, and image files, offering flexibility and compatibility.

Can you convert an MP4 to MP3?

Yes, Kapwing allows you to convert MP4 videos into MP3 audio files without needing additional software. Upload your MP4 to Kapwing, select 'MP3' under the 'Export Project' options, and convert your video into audio, ideal for podcasts, social media clips, or streaming.

How do I convert a video to a GIF?

You can convert videos to GIFs with Kapwing. Simply upload the video (usually an MP4), and Kapwing will transform it into a GIF format. In the process, the sound will be removed, and the frame rate adjusted for smoother GIF playback, creating a silent, looping image that’s perfect for sharing.

Can I convert a YouTube video to an MP3?

There are several instances where you may be able to download and convert a YouTube video legally. Copy the video URL, paste it into Kapwing’s 'Add Media' section, and once it loads, add it to the timeline. Click 'Export Project' and select 'MP3' to download the audio. However, any form of YouTube download violates YouTube's Terms of Service, and could lead to serious repercussions. Read this article if you need more information.

How do you convert a video to slow motion?

Converting a video to slow motion with Kapwing is simple. After uploading your video and adding it to your timeline, click 'Edit' in the right panel. Find the 'Speed' option, then adjust the speed to slow down the video. When you're satisfied, export the video with the new speed settings.

Can you convert a video to audio on an iPhone?

Yes, you can convert videos to audio files using Kapwing on an iPhone. Here’s how:

  1. Upload the video to Kapwing.
  2. Add it to your timeline and separate the audio.
  3. Delete the video layer and export the audio as an MP3 using the 'Export Project' button. Your audio file is now ready for use as a podcast clip or social media soundbite

What is the best and safest video format to use?

MP4 is one of the most widely used and versatile video formats. It is compatible with social media, YouTube, media players, and video editing software. MP4 files can store video, audio, subtitles, and images, making them ideal for most creator needs. While generally safe, like all files, MP4s can be prone to corruption.

Can MP4s have transparent backgrounds?

Yes, Kapwing lets you remove the background from any video, including MP4 files, to make it transparent. Using our AI-powered 'Remove Background' feature, you can achieve this with just a few clicks — no need for manual tracking.

Is Kapwing's video converter free?

Yes, Kapwing's online video converter is free to use. Jump into the editor and upload any file to get started, with conversions to MP4, MP3, GIF, and more. However, the free version adds a watermark to all exports. To remove the watermark and unlock additional features, you’ll need a paid subscription, which also allows for larger uploads.
