Free Online Video Editor

ClipForge is a quick video editor that runs in your browser. Cut and arrange parts of a clip on a timeline, add a text caption, choose a vertical, square or widescreen canvas, and export a video with its audio. There is nothing to install and your footage is not uploaded.

How to edit a video online

  1. Add your media

    Upload a video, image or audio file, or drop it on the canvas.

  2. Cut on the timeline

    Move the playhead, then split, trim, duplicate or delete parts of the clip. Undo and redo are always available.

  3. Add text and set the canvas

    Type a caption, pick its size, colour and alignment, drag it into place, and choose 9:16, 16:9 or 1:1.

  4. Export

    Choose 480p, 720p or 1080p and export a WebM video with sound, or save a single frame as PNG.

Frequently asked questions

Is ClipForge free and without a watermark?

Yes. It is free, needs no account and adds no watermark.

Is my video uploaded?

No. Everything is processed in your browser.

What format does it export?

WebM video with audio, or a PNG frame. WebM plays in modern browsers and many players; convert it if another app needs MP4.

Why does exporting take as long as the video?

The edit is recorded in real time in your browser. Keep the tab open until it finishes.

Can I edit several videos together?

ClipForge edits one video, image or audio file at a time. For several clips on one timeline, use our timeline editor, Azen Studio.

Which browsers work best?

A recent desktop Chrome, Edge or Firefox.
