Frequently Asked Questions

🔎

No results. Try a different keyword.

Is this tool really free? ⌄

Yes! All features are completely free to use. There are no hidden fees, subscriptions, or paywalls.

Do I need to create an account? ⌄

No, you can use the tool without signing up. Your video is processed directly in your browser and never stored on our servers.

What file formats do you support? ⌄

Input support depends on your browser and the video’s codecs. Try MP4 or WebM first; MOV and AVI are not guaranteed to play. Export produces WebM where MediaRecorder is supported.

Can I use edited videos for commercial purposes? ⌄

Yes! You’re free to use the final videos for YouTube, social media, advertising, or any other project. Just make sure you respect copyright laws when using third-party content.

How long does it take to process a video? ⌄

Recording follows video playback and depends on the video length, selected effect and device performance. Keep this tab visible until export finishes.

Why does my local video not open? ⌄

No upload takes place. Check that your browser can decode the file’s codecs. Try MP4 or WebM, a shorter clip or a smaller resolution. Large files can exceed your device’s available resources.

How to add video effects without uploading

Choose File or drag a local video onto the preview. The browser must be able to decode its video and audio codecs.
Choose one effect, such as Sepia, VHS Glitch or Glitch, and adjust intensity.
Preview the result, then use Save Video to start recording the effect into a WebM file.
Keep this tab visible during recording. Download the result when recording finishes.

Try a VHS or glitch look

Choose VHS Glitch for a retro videotape look, or Glitch for digital distortion. Begin with a modest intensity and preview faces, captions and motion before exporting. Selecting another effect replaces the current effect.

Compatibility and export limits

This tool relies on browser video decoding, canvas processing and MediaRecorder. File extensions alone do not guarantee support. If a file does not open, try an MP4 with a browser-supported codec or a WebM file. Large videos and complex effects use more device resources. The output is WebM; this tool does not provide MP4 conversion or a timeline trimming control.

Selected media stays on your device through this editor. Website hosting and support email are separate services described in the privacy policy.
