About
Kapwing AI Video is a powerful, browser-based AI-powered video editor designed to dramatically speed up the video creation and editing process. Whether you're starting from a prompt, a script, an article, or raw footage, Kapwing's AI helps you build a polished first draft and refine it to a final export — all without leaving the browser. Key capabilities include trimming video by editing transcripts, auto-generating captions and subtitles, translating and dubbing audio into 40+ languages, generating relevant B-roll footage, removing background noise, and auto-removing silences with Smart Cut. The AI Resizer adapts videos for different social media formats, while the Repurpose Studio converts long-form content into short, platform-ready clips. Kapwing also offers a Script Generator, Text-to-Speech voiceovers, a Song Generator for background audio, lip-sync avatars, and a chatbot for iterative scene editing. The storyboard preview lets you iterate before committing to a final export. Kapwing is built for marketing teams, training departments, educators, and individual content creators who want to produce YouTube Shorts, video ads, tutorials, and social media content efficiently. Its intuitive interface requires no video editing experience, making professional-grade production accessible to everyone.
