History

The app was first released as JianYing [zh] in China in 2019 and was initially available for iPhone and Android.^[1]^[2] In 2020, it was renamed as CapCut and became available internationally.^[3] It later expanded to include web and desktop versions for Mac and Windows.^[2]

In 2022, CapCut reached 200 million active users.^[4] According to The Wall Street Journal, in March 2023, it was the second-most downloaded app in the U.S., behind that of Chinese discount retailer Temu.^[5]^[6]

Features

The free version of CapCut has multiple features, including speed options for adjusting the duration of clips.^[2] The Auto Captions tool can be used to generate video captions that can be edited within the app; however, it is no longer a free feature with the latest updates.^[2]

CapCut supports basic video editing functions, including editing, trimming, and splitting clips.^[2] It allows the addition of new clips to projects but is limited to single-layer editing.
