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.

Frequently Asked Questions

Bob, our kitten, thinking

Is Kapwing's AI Image Generator free?

No, Kapwing's AI Image Generator is not free and requires a paid subscription.

How do I create AI images in different sizes?

Kapwing's AI tool generates images in a 1:1 ratio (1080 x 1080 pixels) by default. To resize the image, you can use the 'Magic Fill' feature in the right-hand toolbar under 'Edit'. This tool extends the background of your image to match your selected aspect ratio while preserving the overall context of the image.

Can you re-create celebrities using Kapwing?

No, you cannot use Kapwing's AI Image Generator to create replica images of celebrities. This is due to two key considerations:

  1. Right of publicity: Celebrities have a "right of publicity," which protects their name, image, and likeness from being used for commercial purposes without their consent
  2. Copyright: If AI-generated images are based on existing copyrighted photos or artwork, this could infringe on the copyright of the original creators

Can AI images be monetized on YouTube, TikTok, Instagram and other social media?

Yes, AI Images be monetized on YouTube, TikTok, Facebook, Instagram, and other social media channels. Every social media network has a unique set of community standards, copyright laws, and platform restrictions so make sure you read them to fully understand monetization policies. Nonetheless, as the license holder of any AI-generated image on Kapwing, you should be free to upload and monetize the content.

Can I add custom branding to AI-generated images on Kapwing?

Yes, you can add branded backgrounds, colors, images, and logos to your AI-generated images. First, you need to generate your image using AI. Next, upload your desired branding and add it to the editing timeline at the bottom of the screen. To remove Kapwing's watermark branding, you need a paid subscription.

Are AI image generators safe?

Advancements in AI have led to various concerns and confusion. Some are skeptical about using AI to assist with their work because of what may feel like a sudden jump in technology. Others are unsure about data collection. Rest assured, Kapwing is very safe to use and we have strict moderation guidelines and ethics policies in place. You can read more under our full Terms of Service and Privacy Policy.

Are AI-generated images copyrighted?

AI-generated images are generally not protected by copyright because copyright law typically applies to works created by humans, not by machines or algorithms. This means that, in most jurisdictions, you cannot claim copyright over artwork created entirely by an AI. Likewise, when using an AI image generator, it's important to respect the copyrights of other artists, especially if you are trying to emulate a specific artistic style or aesthetic, as this could still raise legal issues

What are the best prompts for image generation?

Try these example prompts to get the most accurate images:

  • "A realistic portrait of a family under soft, natural lighting"
  • "Concept art for a tiny magical forest city"
  • "An oil painting of Whitney Houston"

After a couple of examples, try Kapwing's image generator with your own words to explore the creative possibilities.

Can Kapwing's AI Image Generator produce accurate hands, teeth, and text?

Yes, Kapwing's AI Generator can handle intricate human and text details, and if the result isn’t quite right, you can tweak the prompt and regenerate the image. However, there are a few reasons why AI image generators sometimes create 'weird' visuals, especially with features like hands, teeth, fingers, and text:

  • Complexity of features: Hands, fingers, and teeth are highly detailed and vary in shape, making them challenging for AI to replicate accurately
  • Training data limitations: AI models are trained on large datasets, which may not always include enough high-quality examples of complex features, leading to distorted or unrealistic results
  • Text rendering challenges: AI models are typically not designed to fully understand written language, so generated text can appear garbled or nonsensical
  • Rendering focus: AI often prioritizes overall shapes and composition over fine details, which can make features like hands and teeth look less precise
Ready? Let's do this.

Kapwing is free to use for teams of any size. We also offer paid plans with additional features, storage, and support.
