Stabilize videos and fix shaky footage in one click
Guarantee every video is smooth and steady
Unlock the potential of every video recording
Kapwing's online Video Stabilizer is a simple, one-click solution for unsteady footage that anyone can use regardless of video editing experience. The tool instantly reduces camera shake, helping every clip you record contribute to a consistent, professional, and polished video strategy. By minimizing the need for expensive recording equipment, it gives content creators the flexibility to film on the go from any device. Stop dragging video files into the trash and make the most of every recording with a cost-effective stabilization assistant.

Increase watch times and boost engagement
You have about 8 seconds to grab a viewer’s attention — even less in a fast-moving social media feed. Shaky, unsteady footage can feel amateur, making it easy for users to scroll past without a second thought. Smooth, stable shots create a professional look that keeps viewers engaged and strengthens brand recognition.
The longer viewers watch your video, the more likely they are to comment and share. Watch time is especially important on platforms like YouTube, where a higher average viewing duration boosts your video's ranking and visibility. Whether you're an adventure vlogger, travel influencer, or filming on the go without expensive equipment, our automatic video stabilization tool smooths out jerky movements, making fast-paced scenes easier to watch.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is Kapwing's Video Stabilizer free?
No, Kapwing's video stabilization feature is not free to use and requires a Pro Account. When you sign up for a Pro Account, you get access to the entire suite of AI video tools, including automatic Background Noise Removal.
Is there a Kapwing watermark on exports?
Since Kapwing's online video stabilizer is an AI feature only available with a Pro Account, the Kapwing watermark will be completely removed from the videos you create with it.
Why is my video shaky?
The reason your video is shaky depends partly on what kind of device you're using. On a computer or laptop, video can be shaky due to things like loose connections, hardware issues with the webcam, unstable power supply, movement while recording, improper camera settings, or even a faulty mounting surface on your laptop itself.
When it comes to iPhone and Android devices, shaky video is often simply the result of hand movement while recording. However, there can be more technical culprits, such as a lack of built-in image stabilization on your phone, or the camera settings you're using. Sometimes, even if your phone has image stabilization, it isn't powerful enough to completely counteract your hand movements, especially if you're zooming in or recording in low-light conditions.
How can I stop my iPhone camera from shaking?
If your iPhone footage looks shaky, you can smooth it out for free by using a few different tactics. First, make sure the "Lock Camera" feature is on in your camera settings, and try holding your phone firmly with your elbows tucked in while filming. If that doesn't do the trick, update your iOS, clean your camera lens, restart your phone, and remove your phone case. Finally, you can purchase a tripod to keep your camera steady, or use a stabilizing tool like Kapwing's.
Do iPhones and Androids naturally remove shaking from video?
Thanks to a nifty piece of in-built tech called "Optical Image Stabilization" (OIS), your iPhone or Android naturally tries to smooth out shakiness when you film. When your mobile phone senses a shake or wobble, tiny motors in the camera lens shift to try and keep everything steady.
However, OIS is more of a helping hand — it can only do so much. If you're moving quickly, OIS can’t always keep up and leaves some wobble behind. Your phone likely also uses software stabilization as an extra layer to smooth out video, but sometimes it makes mistakes, like cropping or leaving in little glitches. That's where Kapwing's Video Stabilizer comes in, allowing you to easily remove shaking from any video in one click.
What’s the most effective software for stabilizing video?
When you're trying to stabilize a video, the most effective software choice largely depends on your goals. If you are trying to fix shaky long-form footage, like sections of documentaries, movies, or music videos, software like Adobe Premiere Pro and Final Cut Pro offer detailed editing experiences, with automated stabilization features and specialized functions for different sorts of shots.
For creators looking to curate viral social media videos and content marketing material, we recommend Kapwing. The free online editor tool is intuitive and doesn't require prior editing experience, whether you're working on a Mac, PC computer, or mobile device. The editor has been specifically designed to help modern content creators make more content in less time through a range of time-efficient and easy-to-use tools.
What video files is Kapwing compatible with?
Kapwing's video editor works with all popular file types for video (MP4, AVI, MOV, WEBM, MPEG, FLV, WMV, MKV, etc.). Note that video exports in Kapwing will always be MP4. We feel these files represent the best tradeoff between file size and quality.
Does Kapwing support online collaborative video editing?
Yes, Kapwing supports collaborative video editing by allowing users to create free, shared workspaces they can invite team members to join. 100+ collaborative video editing tools to streamline the creative process are available in the online video editor. Teams can also upload a Brand Kit to their workspace or set one up together in real time, helping ensure that assets are readily available and organized.
How to stabilize a video on iPhone
To stabilize a video on your iPhone, upload it to the Kapwing editor and add it to a new canvas. Tap the video to select it, then tap the "AI Tools" icon at the bottom of your screen. The Stabilize feature will appear — simply tap it, and your video will be stabilized with one click.
How long does it take to stabilize a video?
