Overview

Clipchamp is a web-based video editor by Microsoft that lets you create, edit, and share videos directly from your browser without downloading software. It combines traditional video editing tools with AI-powered features like text-to-speech voiceovers, automatic subtitle generation in 80+ languages, and background removal.

The platform is designed for creators of all skill levels—from social media content makers to educators and business professionals. You can record video, screen, and audio directly in the editor, apply effects like green screen, and access a library of royalty-free stock footage, music, and images. Videos can be exported in up to 4K resolution without watermarks.

Clipchamp offers both a free tier with core features and premium plans for advanced capabilities. It's also available as a Windows desktop app and integrates with Microsoft 365 subscriptions.
