Clipchamp vs Kapwing

Clipchamp

• Windows users, who find it in the Start menu on Windows 11
• Free 1080p exports without a watermark
• Microsoft 365 Personal and Family subscribers who want 4K export

Kapwing

• Marketing and social teams editing video together in a browser
• Subtitling, translating and dubbing videos for other languages
• Cutting long recordings into short clips for social platforms

Clipchamp

• Premium is not sold on its own: 4K export, premium stock assets and effects, and the brand kit come with Microsoft 365 Personal or Family.
• The browser editor works in Microsoft Edge and Google Chrome, and is not optimized for touch devices such as iPads or tablets.
• Microsoft ended support for the Clipchamp iOS app on June 9, 2026, leaving the browser editor and the Windows desktop app.
• Work and school accounts use a separate Clipchamp for work version, included with some Microsoft 365 business and education licenses.

Kapwing

• The Free plan watermarks every export and caps videos at 4 minutes, 720p and 30 minutes of exports a month.
• Free workspaces keep project files for 3 days, and free projects are unlisted rather than private.
• There is no free trial of the paid plans, and Kapwing says it does not refund subscriptions.
• There is no downloadable app; the help center says the Android app is paused and phone users edit in a browser.

Timeline video editor

Trim and combine clips on a drag-and-drop timeline, add overlays, transitions and stock assets, then export as MP4, GIF, MP3 or an image.

Subtitles and translation

Subtitles are generated automatically and can be translated into more than 60 languages or downloaded as SRT or VTT files. Minutes are metered: 10 on Free, 1,000 a month on Pro.

Dubbing, text to speech and lip sync

Dubbing translates dialogue into 40+ languages and text to speech turns text layers into voiceovers. Custom voice clones are listed under the Business plan, and lip sync minutes are metered by plan.

AI video generation and repurposing

The Video Generator builds a video with voiceover, visuals, subtitles and music from a text prompt, and Repurpose Studio cuts a long video into clips sized for social platforms.

Screen and camera recording

Record the screen, a browser tab or a window, with or without the camera and microphone, from inside the editor, then edit the recording in the same project.

Team workspaces

Members share a workspace with folders, leave comments on the video and can edit a project at the same time. Brand Kit stores logos, fonts and colors on paid plans.
