Kapwing
Kapwing is a cloud-based video editor accessed through a browser on Mac, Windows, Chromebook and mobile devices. Users can edit video sections by changing an automatically generated transcript, and Smart Cut removes silences. Projects can be created, edited and exported at up to 4K on supported plans. Users can add material by pasting URLs from TikTok, YouTube, Twitter and other internet sources. Subtitles, dubbing and lip-sync technology support more than 100 languages. Pro users get Brand Kit tools for color palettes, logos, fonts and templates. The Free plan provides 10 credits, exports up to four minutes at 720p, and 5 GB of cloud storage. Pro costs $16 a month billed annually, per member, and includes 1,000 credits per month, 4K export, a 120-minute export limit, a 6 GB upload limit and 100 GB of cloud storage. Pro exports are watermark-free. Kapwing has no desktop or mobile app. Enterprise pricing is custom and not listed.
Purupuru Maker
Purupuru Maker turns selected areas of still images into looping motion for GIFs or browser-made video. Its web editor accepts PNG, JPEG, and WebP files: paint a mask over the area to animate, preview the effect, then export. Motion presets include Jelly, Sway, Bounce, Wave, Pulse, and Quake, with controls for speed, amplitude, damping, and gravity. Batch mode applies one preset and its tuning controls to a group of images. Processing happens in the browser, so the source image, mask, preview, and export are not sent to a Purupuru Maker application server. The site says it keeps no account library copy; closing the tab ends the session unless an export was downloaded. GIFs have no added logo or watermark. MP4 export depends on a compatible browser recorder, while WebM works in many modern browsers. The editor supports phones, mouse, stylus, and finger input, and a Chrome extension can open the studio or send an image URL.
