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

What video files does Kapwing work with?

Kapwing's video editor works with all popular file types for video (MP4, AVI, MOV, etc.). Note that video exports in Kapwing will always be MP4 and audio files will always be MP3. We feel these files represent the best tradeoff between file size and quality.

Is there a Kapwing watermark on exports?

If you are using Kapwing on a Free account then all exports — including from Video Enhancer — will contain a watermark. Once you upgrade to a Pro account the watermark will be completely removed from your creations.

How do I enhance video quality?

There are different approaches to enhancing video quality. For example, you can use ring lights or soft boxes when filming to improve lighting distribution or minimize shadows. That said, the easiest, most cost-effective way to enhance the quality of a video is by using an online video editor like Kapwing.

This way, all you need is a web browser. All your files are saved in one convenient place, and you can avoid expense lighting and technical editing software. Instead, use intuitive sliders and AI to easily adjust your video's brightness, contrast, saturation, and color grading.

Does Kapwing’s Video Enhancer export videos in 1080p?

Yes, Kapwing's Video Enhancer does export videos in 1080p, as well as in 4K. Kapwing offers standard quality (720p) for users on the Free plan and high definition exporting (1080p and 4K) for users on the paid Pro plan.

Is it free to try Kapwing's Video Enhancer?

Yes, Kapwing's Video Enhancer is available for free including the slider tools for opacity, brightness, contrast, saturation, blur, and zoom. However, there are some limitations around AI features and video length for users on the Free plan, and a small watermark is applied.

Why is my video pixelated?

There are a few different reasons for pixelated video, including low-lighting environments, video compression, and the file format you're using.

  • Low-Lighting Environments: Filming in low light may signal your camera's sensor to increase the ISO, a setting that controls how much light is let in. This compensation can lead to pixelated video.
  • Compression: This involves removing similar or identical frames from video to reduce file size, and often happens automatically when uploading to platforms like YouTube. It can cause pixelation when applied to video with fast movements or fine detail.
  • Imbalanced File Format: Some video file formats don't balance file size and image quality efficiently. This is why Kapwing's video exports are in MP4 — we feel this file type represents the best tradeoff between file size and quality.

Will Kapwing's Video Enhancer affect the original video's aspect ratio?

No, your video maintain its original aspect ratio and format when uploaded to Kapwing. However, you can quickly alter the size of you video to fit a selection of pre-made templates designed for TikTok, YouTube, Instagram, LinkedIn, Facebook, and more.

Can you remove the background from a video?

Yes, Kapwing's Video Background Remover automatically makes your video background white, so you can layer new photos or videos behind your main subject. To remove the background from a video, click 'Remove Background' in the Effects tab — and that's it.

Can Kapwing's Video Enhancer improve blurry videos?

You can use Kapwing's Video Enhancer to help upgrade the quality of video by adjusting the brightness, contrast, and saturation settings. However, aside from manual tweaks, there is no AI-powered tool that fixes blurry videos.
