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!

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 :)

MOV works more smoothly with MacBook tools like Final Cut Pro and supports editing-friendly codecs, additional metadata, and features like multiple audio tracks or transparency. The conversion doesn’t improve quality by itself unless the video is re-encoded with a higher-quality codec.

Can I convert to other file types?

Yes, you can use Kapwing to convert MP4 videos into MOV, WebM, and GIF formats. You can also convert MOV videos to MP4.

Will my video quality be affected?
