Meta is looking to take a bite out of CapCut with its latest app. The video-editing app Edits is now available worldwide for Android and iOS devices.

Edits Is a Free App With Some Compelling Features

The free Edits app offers a surprisingly robust set of features. You can capture videos of up to 10 minutes and start editing immediately. The app also allows you to keep track of all your drafts and videos in a single location, making it easier to juggle multiple projects.

When done, you can share the results to Instagram and other social networks at 1080p. As a nice touch, there is no watermark on any video.

During the editing process, you can edit with single-frame precision. There are a number of settings for resolution, frame rate, dynamic range, and upgraded flash and zoom controls.

As no surprise, the app features AI to help bring images to life. There is also a green screen option or a video overlay.

To better customize a video, you can choose from fonts, sound effects, video filters, stickers, and more. You can also enhance audio and remove background noises. Captions will be generated automatically and can also be customized.

Other features include a live insights dashboard, a breakdown of engagement of followers and non-followers, and better understanding of what factors affect engagement.

Overall, the app looks well-polished and should provide another great option for content creators and everyday fans who enjoy making videos.

Meta says it’s planning to add additional features in the future. Some of those include keyframes, collaboration with others, and additional customization options.

An Interesting Shot at ByteDance and CapCut

Edits was first announced back in January 2025 in what seems like ages ago, at least in the world of technology.

Just a few days before the announcement of the app, CapCut, along with the hugely popular social network TikTok, were removed from the App Store for just a few hours. But the long-term future of both remains in doubt as ByteDance still needs an American buyer.

Even though that situation has changed somewhat, it still makes sense for Meta to launch Edits. While providing a nice way for Instagram fans to quickly edit and upload video while looking at results, it could easily help draw TikTok and YouTube Shorts fans looking for another way to edit videos. And if somehow ByteDance doesn’t find a way out of its situation, Meta will be happy to reap the rewards of new users.

One big advantage of Edits is that all video is exported without a watermark. You’ll need a $9.99 monthly subscription to do that on CapCut.
