Why not other editors?

NaiCut is the most affordable, privacy-first alternative to other video editors. Here's how they compare.

NaiCut is the most affordable, privacy-first video editor that keeps your files on your device

Most popular video editors upload your media to remote servers, require an account, and lock many features behind expensive subscriptions. NaiCut takes a different approach: it runs entirely in your browser, your files never leave your device, and it offers the most affordable pricing with a generous free tier. If you care about privacy, simplicity, or simply want a video editor that works without sign-ups and watermarks, NaiCut is designed for you.
