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 covers the full cut, grade, keyframe, caption, and export workflow in the browser — a real Premiere alternative, not a toy — 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. Your media also stays on your own device by default — only uploaded if you sign in and save. 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. Files load straight from your device — nothing uploads just to edit (saving to your account is optional).
- 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 free tier is ad-supported, with an optional one-time $5 to remove ads. The core cut, grade, caption, and mp4 export features are all available for free.
Does my video get uploaded anywhere?
No — all editing and export happen in your browser via ffmpeg.wasm, so your media is processed on your device and isn’t sent to a server just to edit or export. If you sign in and save a project, that project’s media is stored to your account.
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 covers the full cut, grade, keyframe, caption, and export workflow in the browser — a real Premiere alternative, not a toy. There is also an AI-storyboard workspace if you want to plan shots, but the timeline editor is the main tool.
