Top 5 Best Free Video Editors for Chromebook

Introduction

In the age of digital content creation, video editors have become essential tools, especially for users who prefer online platforms. Many users, particularly those using Chromebooks, shy away from downloading software. To accommodate this need, we’ve compiled a list of the top five free online video editors that can facilitate simple edits without the need for software installation. While browser-based video editors may lack some advanced features found in traditional editing software, they often provide the fundamental tools needed for straightforward video adjustments. If you require a more advanced experience and the capability to work offline, check out our guide on the top five free video editing software; the link is provided in the description.

1. Capwing

Our top pick is Capwing, a versatile online video editor. While it may not be as well-known as others, it offers an impressive range of free features without time limits or annoying watermarks. Users can trim, crop, insert text, subtitles, images, audio, and even create memes. Additionally, videos can be exported in full 1080p HD.

The layout is user-friendly, with features located conveniently on the right side for adjusting output size and a play button located in the lower left for previewing changes. Upon finishing your project, you can publish and download your video or share it directly on Facebook, Twitter, or Instagram. However, to remove the watermark, you will need to sign in. Capwing's upload limit is 500 megabytes, and projects are stored on their servers for up to seven days — unless you opt for the Pro version which allows for more extensive storage and higher upload limits.

2. Adobe Spark

Adobe Spark combines video creation with graphic design capabilities, allowing users to create videos alongside flyers and social media posts. The interface is intuitive, letting you record audio directly from your computer and upload videos and images from various online platforms like Google Drive and Dropbox.

The downside of Adobe Spark’s free plan is that export quality is limited to 720p, and projects feature a watermark unless you upgrade. Nevertheless, it remains an excellent choice for straightforward projects.

3. Clipchamp

Clipchamp is a well-established online video editor worth mentioning. It offers robust features, including a webcam recorder and video converter. Users can add media either by dragging it into the project area or clicking the media button, and all essential tools are easily accessible through the interface.

Clipchamp stands out because, while the free version doesn't add a watermark, it restricts export quality to 480p, which is quite low for modern standards. They recommend using the Chrome browser for optimal performance.

4. Kizoa

Kizoa is another user-friendly platform designed for producing videos and slideshows. It provides numerous effects and animations to enhance your projects. Users can upload clips, arrange them on a storyboard, and easily dabble with transitions and effects.

To access certain features, such as high-resolution exports, users may need to upgrade, and the free basic plan includes limitations such as a watermark and a maximum length of 2 minutes per movie.

5. WeVideo

WeVideo is an easy-to-use online creation tool with features that resemble those found in more advanced desktop software. Users can import media from various cloud services and utilize a timeline to drag and drop video and audio files efficiently.

However, the free plan imposes restrictions including a watermark, a maximum of five minutes publish time per month, and a maximum resolution of 480p. Although the limitations might be frustrating for some, it remains a solid choice for those starting out.

Bonus: Online Video Cutter

As a bonus, Online Video Cutter is a straightforward tool for users wanting to make basic edits. Users can upload files up to 500 megabytes and trim, rotate, or crop videos easily. It supports saving videos in full 1080p HD, making it suitable for quick adjustments.
