How do I make a split screen video for free?

Open your first video in Cutmallow's free editor, open Library and choose Layouts. Pick one of 12 layouts, such as top and bottom, side by side, picture in picture, a round bubble or a 2 x 2 grid, and add up to three more clips from your device. Move and zoom each clip inside its cell, swap them, then export a 9:16 MP4 with no watermark. Nothing is uploaded.

How to do it in three steps

  1. Drop your main video into the editor.

  2. Open Library, then Layouts, and pick a layout.

  3. Add your other clips, frame each one, then export.

Then keep going in the same place: add captions, zooms and a style, so the Short is finished before you leave the page.

How it works

Every frame is drawn by Cutmallow's compositor: each clip is decoded on your device and placed into its cell of the layout, then the whole frame is encoded into the MP4. Captions, overlays and a look apply on top, like with a single clip.

Picture-in-picture layouts put the second clip in a corner you choose, as a rectangle, a wide inset or a round bubble, which suits reaction and tutorial videos.

Tips for a better result

  • Use top / bottom for reactions in a 9:16 Short: both people stay big on a phone.
  • Use the round bubble for a face-cam over a screen recording.
  • Trim every clip to the same moment before you start, so they line up.

One flow instead of three apps

Every free tool here opens the same Cutmallow editor, so the whole Short gets finished in one place.

  • Pauses, noise and captions in one editor, instead of a different app for each job.
  • Private: the video is processed on your device and never uploaded.
  • Works on phones as well as laptops, in the browser you already have.
  • No credits, no usage limits, no watermark.

How many videos can I put on one screen?

Up to four: your main video and three more, depending on the layout.

Can I make a reaction video?

Yes. Top / bottom or picture in picture are the usual reaction layouts. Put the video you react to in one cell and your face cam in the other.

Does it work on my phone?

Yes. It runs in Safari on iPhone and in Chrome on Android, as well as Chrome, Edge, Safari and Firefox on computers. An older phone takes longer, because your own device does the work.

Are my clips uploaded?

No. Your video never leaves your device. Every clip is read and composed on your device.

Is there a watermark or a paid plan for this?

No. The export is clean, in full quality, with no account. Cutmallow runs on your device, so there are no server bills to pass on.
