Microsoft Clipchamp is a friendly video editor built into Windows and available in the browser, designed to turn everyday footage into polished videos fast.
Clipchamp is Microsoft’s consumer video editor, preinstalled on Windows 11 and also available on the web, iOS, and Android. Its timeline editor covers the essentials well — trim, split, crop, resize, rotate, speed control, filters, text, and transitions — with templates sized for YouTube, TikTok, and Reels. Recording is built in, so you can capture your screen, camera, and voice without extra tools. The AI features do much of the tedious work: automatic subtitles transcribe speech into editable captions, text-to-speech generates voiceovers in many languages, silence removal cuts dead air from talking-head videos, and Auto Compose turns a pile of clips and music into a finished edit automatically. A large library of stock video, music, and GIFs fills gaps in your footage. Exports are watermark-free even on the free plan, files back up to OneDrive, and a work version is included with many Microsoft 365 business and education licenses.
Clipchamp’s free plan includes 1080p watermark-free exports and the core AI tools. Premium — included with Microsoft 365 Personal and Family subscriptions — unlocks 4K exports, premium stock content, and the brand kit. Clipchamp for work is bundled with many Microsoft 365 business and education plans.
Clipchamp is for Windows users, teachers, office workers, and social creators who want quick, good-looking videos with AI doing the captioning and cleanup, without learning professional editing software.
