Deliver video content like a professional

Improve on-camera engagement and eliminate reshoots

Fix unnatural eye movements and look confident on camera

Kapwing’s online AI Eye Contact tool takes the pressure off filming. Creators can record with a teleprompter or glance away naturally, knowing they can adjust their eye contact later in the editing studio.

The AI-powered corrector smooths out moments where you blink awkwardly, break focus, or look off-screen, reducing the the need for time-consuming reshoots and giving every recording a clean, professional finish. It empowers vloggers, influencers, and social media producers to stay relaxed on camera, producing natural results with direct audience engagement — even if you're reading from notes.

Expand your video strategy with more social-ready posts

Content without direct eye contact feels less personal and struggles to engage viewers, but that doesn't mean it should go unused. Kapwing’s AI Eye Contact corrector transforms imperfect recordings into engaging, social-ready clips, allowing creators, teams, and businesses to get more value out of existing video libraries.

Repurpose interviews, webinars, and podcast clips into content that directly connects with your audience and captures attention in the first few seconds on TikTok, Instagram, and YouTube. Whether it’s a Zoom interview or a live panel discussion, eye contact correction helps turn casual footage into polished, camera-focused videos that feel both personal and purposeful.

Reduce time spent reshooting and memorizing scripts

Busy content creators don’t have time to rehearse scripts or reshoot videos. With AI Eye Contact correction, you can focus on saying what matters without worrying about breaking eye contact or glancing away mid-sentence. This means you don’t have to memorize scripts or spend hours training like a presenter.

For time-conscious thought leaders, YouTubers, and small businesses without access to on-camera talent, Kapwing helps bridge the gap between casual and professional video production without additional resources.

By the far the most user friendly software to use.

As a housewife at home looking to start a YouTube channel for fun with absolutely zero editing experience, it was so easy for me to teach myself via their YouTube channel. It takes the tediousness out of editing and encourages creativity. As long as Kapwing is around, I will be using their software.

Love this site.

As an English Foreign Language Teacher, this site helps me to quickly subtitle interesting videos that I can use in class. The students love the videos, and the subtitles really help them to learn new vocabulary as well as better understand and follow the video.

Excellent subtitling features

[It] works perfectly for me. Have been using Kapwing for a year or so, and their automatic subtitle tool gets better and better every week, it's rare that I have to correct a word. Keep up the good work!

Natasha Ball

Best online video service ever. And a miracle for deaf people.

[Subtitler] is able to autogenerate subtitles for video in almost any language. I'm deaf (or almost deaf, to be correct) and thanks to Kapwing I'm now able understand and react on videos from my friends :)

This tool should be in every social media account managers' bookmark list.

●Just the FAQs

Frequently Asked Questions

We have answers to the most common questions that our users ask.

Is AI Eye Contact correction free?

No, to use Kapwing's AI Eye Contact correction a subscription is needed. Upgrade to a Pro account to unlock advanced editing features such as Smart Cut, Clean Audio, and Split Vocals.

What is eye tracking?

Eye tracking (also known as eye contact correction) is a technology that detects where a person is looking. In video, it's used to monitor eye movement and determine whether someone is making eye contact with the camera or looking elsewhere.

How does an eye tracker work?

Kapwing's eye tracker is powered by Texel, a video optimization API provider. The AI-powered software helps to follow the position and movement of your eyes. In the context of video editing, it detects when your gaze shifts so corrections can be applied to make it look like you're maintaining eye contact.

How do I use AI Eye Contact with a webcam?

To use the online AI Eye Contact correction tool in Kapwing, start by recording your video directly in the browser using the Record feature — you can also turn on the built-in Teleprompter to read your script. After recording, open the video in the editor and apply AI Eye Contact from the right-hand sidebar to enhance your eye alignment and engagement.

Will AI Eye Contact correction distort my face?

No, the correction is subtle and designed to preserve your natural appearance. It adjusts eye movement only, so your facial expressions and overall look remain unchanged.

Why is eye contact important for viewers?

Eye contact helps build trust and keeps viewers engaged. When someone appears to speak directly to the camera, the message feels more personal — which can improve viewer retention and connection. Research from Stanford University highlights how powerful eye contact is in digital communication, noting that mutual gaze is a key social cue that shapes how we connect with others, even through screens.

Can I use AI Eye Contact correction for live-streaming?

No, Kapwing’s online correction tool works in post-production, so it can’t be applied during a live stream. It’s designed for editing recorded video content.

How long does it take to apply AI Eye Contact correction?

For videos under one minute, it usually takes just a few seconds. Longer videos may take a little more time depending on the file size and length, but the process is still quick.
