About EditClips.online

A privacy-first, browser-based video editor.

I'm a software engineer who got tired of online video tools that demanded a signup, slapped watermarks on free output, capped uploads at 100 MB, or quietly sent files to a server I couldn't see. EditClips.online is the tool I wanted to exist — free, browser-based, with the heavier AI work running on hardware I personally maintain.

You can find my code on GitHub or read more about me at bernis.dev.

How it works

Most of EditClips runs entirely in your browser using FFmpeg compiled to WebAssembly. When you stretch a video, invert colors, merge audio, or trim a clip, the file never leaves your device. There's no upload, no queue, no server-side log of what you processed.

The AI tools — background removal, watermark removal, frame interpolation, upscaling — require GPU acceleration that browsers don't have. For those, files are temporarily uploaded over an encrypted connection to our own GPU server (not a cloud provider), processed, and deleted within 7 days. We don't review file content, train models on user uploads, or share data with third parties.

Why this matters

Privacy-respecting tools shouldn't be paywalled, and free tools shouldn't require trust in an opaque cloud pipeline. Every tool on this site does exactly what its name says — nothing more, nothing tracked beyond standard anonymous analytics. Read the Privacy Policy for the full breakdown.

What's under the hood

  • FFmpeg WebAssembly for browser-side video and audio processing
  • Self-hosted GPU server (RTX-class, Ubuntu) running open-source models — BiRefNet, SAM 3.1, FLUX.2 Klein, SeedVR2, Whisper, GFPGAN, Demucs, RIFE
  • Astro + Bun on a dedicated server behind Cloudflare
  • SQLite + Drizzle ORM for the data layer
  • No third-party trackers beyond Google Analytics
