Published: October 30, 2026
Sometimes you need to edit a video right now, on a computer that is not yours, or without waiting for a big download. An online video editor solves that. DepCut runs at depcut.com in your browser, with a full multi-track timeline and nothing to install.
What you can do in the browser
- Cut and trim clips on a multi-track timeline. See trim a clip by dragging its edges.
- Add titles, shapes and stickers, with animations in and out.
- Add transitions between clips, from simple fades to glitch effects.
- Add music and sound effects, then balance them under speech.
- Generate subtitles and translate them into other languages.
- Change the aspect ratio for YouTube, TikTok, Reels or Shorts.
- Use the AI assistant to make edits by asking in plain words.
- Export finished video. See how DepCut renders your export in the browser.
Your projects follow you
Cloud projects save to your DepCut account. Sign in from any browser and pick up where you left off. Read work on a cloud project from any browser.
You can also share a cloud project as a read-only link for review, so a client or teammate can watch your cut and give feedback.
Free to use
The editor is free. The free plan includes the full editor, 1 GB of cloud storage, and import and export. You only pay for AI-generated media such as images, video clips and voiceovers. Pro adds 50 GB of storage and monthly AI credits.
When to add the Mac app
The browser editor covers most jobs. On a Mac, the free DepCut app adds:
- Local projects stored on your own disk, so large footage does not need to upload.
- Exports through your Mac's encoder, saved straight to a folder.
- Screen recording from the menu bar.
- On-device dictation for prompts.

Tips for editing online
- Keep your browser up to date.
- Keep the tab open while large files upload.
- Trim long recordings before you add effects.
- Keep editing while your video exports rather than waiting.
