InShot
An app that trims, resizes and adds music to quick social videos.
What InShot does
InShot is one of the most downloaded video editors on iPhone and Android. It makes quick work of trimming clips, adding music and text, and resizing for Reels, TikTok or YouTube. It's free with ads, and Pro is a subscription or a one-time purchase.
InShot keeps things simple. You pick a clip, trim it, add music, text or a filter, choose a canvas size for the app you're posting to, and export. It also has a timeline for layering clips, keyframes, speed changes and a photo collage maker.
Recent versions added AI tools like auto captions, background removal, text to speech and smooth slow motion. They're handy for social posts, but it's still a casual editor, not a pro one.
The free version shows ads and adds a small InShot watermark to exports. Pro removes it, and some reviewers say you can also remove it in the free version, so check when you export. Pro is sold monthly, yearly or as a lifetime purchase, and the lifetime option is nice if you dislike subscriptions. If you want a free editor with no watermark at all, look at VN or Edits.
