Edit long videos right in your browser.
Edit long videos in your browser — trim, add effects, sounds, text and captions, then export. It is free, adds no watermark, and your videos never leave your computer.
What you get
A full video editor with nothing to install.
Made for creators who cut long footage, add effects and sound, and publish to YouTube, Shorts and Reels.
Trim, split and arrange
Cut long footage on a multi-track timeline, drag clip edges, duplicate, change speed from 0.25× to 4× and cut out silences with one click.
Over 50 effects and 17 filters
Film grain, vignette, light rays, fog, rain, lightning, VHS, glitch, golden aura and more. Hover a card to see it move, then drop it on the timeline.
Themes: Devotional, Horror, General
Pick a theme and the effects, sounds, stickers and caption styles that fit it appear first — diyas and temple bells for devotional videos, fog and creaks for horror.
More than 40 built-in sound effects
Bells, gong, shankh, damru, door creaks, footsteps, thunder, whooshes and risers are generated inside your browser, so they work offline and are royalty-free.
Text, stickers and shapes
Animated titles with letter-by-letter effects, lower thirds, emoji stickers, shapes and keyframes to move or fade anything over time.
Captions from your script
Paste what is said and Longcut times each caption to the voice, import an .srt or .vtt file, or try on-device speech recognition in recent Chrome.
Music, voiceover and ducking
Add music layers, record a voiceover while the video plays, apply 8D, reverb or echo, and let music lower itself when someone speaks.
Reels, Shorts and YouTube sizes
Switch the frame to 16:9, 9:16, 4:5, 1:1, 2:3, 4:3 or 21:9, reframe horizontal footage for vertical, and use green-screen removal on clips and photos.
Export up to 4K and beyond
Export MP4 or WebM from 720p to 4K (8K where your computer allows), choose frame rate and bitrate, and split a long video into parts so each file stays manageable.

Made for
Videos people actually make.
YouTube and long videos
Cut a long recording down, add a title and lower thirds, and export in 1080p or 4K split into parts.
Reels, Shorts and TikTok
Switch to a vertical frame, reframe wide footage and add captions that follow your voice.
Devotional and spiritual videos
Use golden light, diya embers, temple bells, shankh and om sounds, and a devotional caption style.
Horror and storytelling
Add fog, flicker, jump-scare hits, creaks and whispers to build tension in a story.
Private by design
We never see your videos.
Longcut edits and exports inside your browser. Your videos, photos and music stay on your computer and are never uploaded. The account is only used to open the editor; see the privacy policy for what we keep.

FAQ
Questions about Longcut.
Is the Longcut video editor really free?
Yes. There is no price, no watermark and no time limit set by us. You only need a free NewDigitalBharat account to open it.
Why do I need to log in?
The editor is only sent to signed-in visitors. A free account lets us keep it free and open to real people instead of automated downloads. We do not sell your details and we do not see your videos.
Are my videos uploaded anywhere?
No. Longcut edits and exports inside your browser, so your videos, photos and music stay on your computer. Your project settings are saved in your browser; your media files are not, so you reconnect them when you reopen a project.
Which browsers and devices work best?
A computer with a recent Chrome or Edge gives the best results, especially for export and on-device captions. Longcut is built for desktop screens; on a phone the layout stacks and editing is limited.
How long can my video be?
There is no length limit set by us, but your computer’s memory and speed are the limit. Export runs in real time, so a one-hour video takes about an hour. Use the “split into files” option so each part stays a manageable size.
Which formats can I export, and in what quality?
You can export MP4 where your browser supports it, or WebM, at 720p, 1080p, 1440p, 4K and 8K, at 24, 30 or 60 frames per second. 8K depends on your browser, graphics card and memory, so try 4K first. Footage with a lower resolution than the export size is upscaled, not sharpened.
Can I add captions in Hindi or other languages?
Yes. “Sync script to voice” works with any language: paste your script and Longcut times it to the speech. You can also import .srt or .vtt subtitles from any tool. Automatic listening is a beta feature that depends on the languages your browser can recognise on your device.
Are the sound effects and effects free to use in my videos?
Yes. The sound effects are generated inside your browser and the effects are drawn by the editor, so there is nothing to license. If you add your own music or footage, you are responsible for having the right to use it.
