Video Tools

Video work is heavier than image work — files are large, encoding is slow, and the cloud tools here run on a dedicated processing server so your laptop stays cool. The category splits into quick local utilities and credit-metered cloud jobs, and knowing which is which saves you time and credits.

Local and instant: Video to Audio pulls the soundtrack out of a clip for podcasts or sampling, Video Frames exports still images — the fastest way to grab a thumbnail or check focus frame by frame, Screen Recorder captures your browser tab or screen for tutorials and bug reports, and Video Merge joins clips into one file.

Cloud and metered: AI Subtitles transcribes speech and burns in synchronized captions — the biggest time-saver in this category for social clips; accuracy is best with clear speech and minimal background noise. Cloud Video Studio and Cloud Video Effects handle heavier conversions and visual effects server-side. Replace Audio swaps a clip's soundtrack, and Video Watermark stamps your brand on the corner.

How to choose: if the job is extraction or capture, stay local — it is free and instant. If it is transcription or heavy encoding, use the cloud tools and check the credit cost shown on the tool page before starting. Failed jobs are refunded automatically, so a network hiccup never costs you credits.

Practical tips: cut and merge first, subtitle last — subtitling a final cut means the timing survives edits. Record screen at the size you will publish; upscaling screen text looks blurry. And keep source clips; re-encoding generations lose quality, so always render from the original file.
