A free online video editor that runs in your browser
vidr is a free online video editor that runs entirely in your browser, so there is nothing to install and your footage never gets uploaded to a server. It handles the common editing jobs fast: a multitrack timeline with trim, split, and blade; speed and reverse; keyframes for opacity, fades, pan/zoom Ken Burns, and color; color grading with curves, HSL, and LUTs; Gaussian blur; dip-to-black and cross-dissolve transitions; text and captions with SRT import/export; and mp4 export. All of it runs client-side via ffmpeg.wasm. It is lightweight, not a full Premiere clone, but it covers the everyday cut, grade, and export work without a download, an account, or a fee.
Who it's for
vidr is for anyone who needs to cut and ship a video quickly without installing desktop software or learning a heavy editor: creators trimming clips for social, marketers assembling product cuts, students and educators adding captions, and anyone on a locked-down or shared machine where installs are not an option. If you want privacy, you also get it by default, since the editing happens on your own device. It is a strong fit for the common cut/grade/caption/export jobs, and a poor fit if you need the full professional feature depth of Premiere or DaVinci Resolve.
How it works
- Open vidr in your browser and drag your video, audio, and image files onto the timeline. Nothing uploads, the files load straight from your device.
- Cut and arrange on the multitrack timeline: trim, split, and blade clips, adjust speed or reverse, and layer text and captions (or import an SRT).
- Polish with keyframes and grading: animate opacity, fades, and pan/zoom, apply curves, HSL, and LUT color grading, add Gaussian blur, and set dip-to-black or cross-dissolve transitions.
- Export to mp4 directly in the browser via ffmpeg.wasm and download the finished file.
FAQ
Is vidr really free?
Yes. vidr is free to use with no account required. The editor runs in your browser, so there are no server costs to pass on and no paid tier gating the core cut, grade, caption, and mp4 export features.
Does my video get uploaded anywhere?
No. All editing and export happen client-side in your browser via ffmpeg.wasm. Your media stays on your device and is never sent to a server, which keeps your footage private.
What can vidr do, and what are its limits?
vidr covers the common jobs: a multitrack timeline with trim/split/blade, speed and reverse, keyframes (opacity, fades, pan/zoom, color), color grading with curves/HSL/LUT, Gaussian blur, dip-to-black and cross-dissolve transitions, text and captions with SRT import/export, and mp4 export. It is deliberately lightweight, so it is not a feature-complete Adobe Premiere replacement for deep professional workflows. There is also an AI-storyboard workspace if you want to plan shots, but the timeline editor is the main tool.
