Shaky Video Stabilizer is a mobile app that converts shaky footage into motion-stabilized video intended to resemble gimbal-shot footage. Users select a clip from the gallery or another video app, start stabilization, compare before and after results, and share the saved video from the phone. The maker says output has no watermarks. Processing can run on the device without internet access or in the cloud with an internet connection. Cloud-processed videos download to the device and are periodically removed from the maker’s servers every hour; uploaded clips can also be deleted from History. The app listing says stabilization can run in the background and preserve original quality, with minor distortions depending on settings. It runs on Android and iOS, supports six listed languages, and offers a free ad-supported plan at free with in-app purchases. The pricing note also lists a 3-day trial. Google Play marks it Everyone and shows 1M+ downloads.
