OpenCut is a free and open source video editor that runs in your browser. It is simple but powerful - it gets the job done on any platform, without installs, uploads or lock-in.
Edit in your browser
OpenCut runs entirely in the browser. Drop in your footage, cut, trim, split and merge clips on a timeline that feels natural, then export in the format you need. No installs, no waiting.
Privacy-first
Your footage is processed locally and never leaves your device. OpenCut is privacy-first by design - your videos stay yours.
Open source and free
OpenCut is open source and free to use, with no watermarks and no subscription required. You can self-host it, contribute to it, or build on top of it.
Built for every platform
One codebase powers desktop, mobile and browser, built on a Rust core. The same editor, wherever you work.
Extensible and automation-ready
OpenCut is plugin-first, with an Editor API, an MCP server for AI agents, headless mode for batch rendering, and a scripting tab directly in the editor.
Whether you are a creator, developer or hobbyist, OpenCut gives you a fast, simple and private video editor that just works.
