How to create videos for social media

  1. Start a new project or upload a video file

    Upload your video, image, or GIF into your own media library within Kapwing. Then, drag and drop any media into your timeline to start editing.

  2. Edit videos or repurpose content

    To fit the ideal social media video format, resize your video, embed subtitles, and trim it down to a shorter video. 

    (TIP): Use Magic Create to automatically turn any video into a social media video with the correct aspect ratio and scroll-stopping subtitles.

  3. Download and publish to social media

    Once you’re satisfied with your project, export your new social media video and download a file to publish it.

Best online video service ever. And a miracle for deaf people.
[Subtitler] is able to autogenerate subtitles for video in almost any language. I'm deaf (or almost deaf, to be correct) and thanks to Kapwing I'm now able understand and react on videos from my friends :)

Spend less time learning... and more time crafting stories.
Kapwing helps you spend less time learning complex video editing platforms and more time crafting stories that will connect with your audience and customers. We've used the platform to help create engaging social media clips from our clients' podcasts and we can't wait to see how the platform simplifies this process going forward.

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!
