Cutmallow at work: the awkward pauses on a clip's timeline are cut in one tap, then words deleted from the transcript cut the clip itself.

Try it: silence cutting

Awkward silences? Still there.Gone.

This waveform is a real 0:11 speech. The pink bars are the silent gaps between words. Flip the switch to cut them the way Cutmallow does: same words, now 0:09.

How an edit goes

From a quick take to posted, in 7 steps. All in one tab, all free.

  1. The teleprompter: a script scrolling over the camera preview, with record and pause buttons

    01 Record

    Drop in a clip, or record one.

    Open any phone video, or read your script on the teleprompter right under your camera. The take opens straight in the editor.

    Open the teleprompter

  2. 02 Cut

    Cut the silences in one tap.

    The dead air between your sentences (the pink gaps) is found and cut for you. Same words, a tighter clip.

  3. 03 Clean

    Clean up the sound.

    Fans, traffic and room echo fade out, and your voice is levelled so it sounds the same from start to end.

  4. 04 Caption

    Captions write themselves.

    Word-by-word captions in 99 languages. Delete a word in the transcript and that bit of video goes too.

  5. The same project in a wide 16:9 frame with a neon overlay

    05 Frame

    Fit it to every app.

    Trim, split and reorder on the timeline, then frame it 9:16 for Shorts and Reels, 1:1 for the feed or 16:9 for YouTube.

  6. The Look panel with color look swatches and a strength slider

    06 Style

    Give it a look.

    Color looks, skin retouch, background removal, stickers and Studio Packs with motion overlays. One tap, one slider each.

  7. Post options for YouTube Shorts, TikTok, Instagram Reels and other apps

    07 Post

    Export and post.

    A 1080p MP4 with no watermark. Title, caption and hashtags come from your captions, then on to Shorts, TikTok or Reels.

Questions, answered.

What is Cutmallow?

Cutmallow is a free video editor for YouTube Shorts, Instagram Reels and TikTok that runs entirely in your web browser. It cuts pauses, removes background noise, writes word-by-word animated captions and exports a 9:16 MP4 with no watermark, no signup and no upload. Your video never leaves your device.

Is Cutmallow really free?

Yes. Every tool, every export and every AI feature is free, at full quality and with no watermark. There are no credits and no limits besides a 15 minute source clip. Ads on these pages, Ko-fi tips and optional Studio Packs pay for it.

Do my videos get uploaded anywhere?

No. Editing, captions, noise removal and background removal all run in your browser on your own device. Your video only leaves it when you choose to post it to a platform yourself.

Do I need an account?

No signup and no login. Your project saves itself in this browser, and you can download a project file as a backup.

Does it work on my phone?

Yes, on recent iPhones and Android phones as well as computers. Chrome, Edge and Safari get every feature; Firefox on a computer works too, with slower AI tools.

Can I use it offline?

After your first visit the editor installs itself in the browser and opens without internet. Add it to your home screen or dock to use it like an app. AI tools work offline after their first use.

Which formats can I export?

An MP4 in 1080p, 720p or 540p, shaped 9:16 for Shorts, Reels and TikTok, 1:1 for the feed or 16:9 for YouTube. You can also aim for a file size.

What are Studio Packs?

Optional packs of motion overlays with a matched look. One is free. Buying a pack only adds style: it never unlocks a feature, a quality setting or watermark removal, because those are already free.
