Where there are silences, there are cuts

Use our Smart Cut feature to automatically remove silences and filler words like “uhh” and “umm.” Click once, and all the unwanted sections of your video (awkward pauses, stutters, etc) will get cut out of your video automatically. Don't worry! You can adjust the sensitivity of the auto cut.

Best online video service ever. And a miracle for deaf people.

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.

Excellent subtitling features

[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!
