You shoot videos regularly, but you don't always need to edit those videos. On the off chance that you want to edit, try these free online video editors with no downloads and no registration.

With these free online video editors, you can resize, rotate, trim or cut, and reduce the file size of any video with ease. You can even add captions or subtitles, and increase the volume. Plus, since these websites need no signups nor registrations, you are virtually anonymous and protect your privacy.

1. Kapwing: Resize Videos for Social Media and Add Subtitles

Kapwing is a free online video editor to resize videos for social media or add subtitles

Kapwing has a series of free online video editors for common alternations. Two of these outclass the others: a video resizer for social networks and a tool to add subtitles.

The resizing tool will instantly fit your video to the best size for popular social networks. Upload your video and choose what you want to resize it for: Instagram feed, Instagram Story or IGTV, uncropped Instagram story, Facebook, or Twitter. Kapwing has built-in settings for that and will show you a preview too. You can directly publish the video on that social network, or download it to your hard drive.

The subtitle or caption tool is as simple as they come. Pause the video where you want and add the text. Create a new line and a new timestamp for more text. It's super easy and the best online tool we've seen to add captions.

These features make Kapwing one of the standouts among free online video editors.

2. VideoLouder: Increase or Decrease the Volume of Any Video

VideoLouder is a free online video editor to increase or decrease the volume of any video without registration or signup

This is simple, isn't it? You've got a video where the volume is too low to hear clearly. So head over to online video editor VideoLouder, and artificially boost it. Or if the video is too loud, decrease the volume, even all the way to mute it.

VideoLouder works with any AVI, MPEG, MP4, MOV, or XVID file, of up to 500MB. It's as simple as it comes, but you can't change the file format while you're at it. The site also protects your privacy by removing the video from its servers a few hours after the initial upload.

Like Kapwing, VideoLouder is part of a larger set of free online video editing tools. You can extract or remove the audio of any video file as well. There's also a video file size compression app, but forget about that and use the next tool in this list, Compressify.

3. Compressify: Reduce File Size Without Affecting Quality

Compressify is a free online video editor to reduce file size of videos by up to 60%

Social networks drastically limit the file size of videos. So when the size is too large, pass the file through Compressify to shrink your video without losing quality.

The "magic" lies in using Google's WebM format, a file format designed for videos on the internet. It makes videos 20 to 60 percent smaller than the original. All the major social networks support WebM, so you're good to use the video. And you can check a before-after comparison to see how good the file compression is.

Like the others in this list, Compressify requires no registration and no downloads. And if you like this file size reduction tool, check out other apps to reduce the file size without losing quality.

4. RotateMyVideo.net (Web): Rotate Any Video Quickly

RotateMyVideo.net is a free online video editor with no registration and no download that lets you rotate any video and change its aspect ratio

Shooting videos on your smartphone can be problematic later. Vertical (or portrait) videos don't look good on YouTube, while horizontal (or landscape) videos are weird on Instagram or Snapchat. RotateMyVideo is a free online video editor to fix this in a jiffy.

Upload a video from your hard drive, and you're ready to flip it. Rotate it left or right with the buttons. You can also change the aspect ratio of the video, flip between 4:3, 16:9, or keep the original. Once you're done, download the video or share it directly on social networks.

Of course, when faced with a large file, you are probably better off using offline Windows or Mac tools to rotate the video. But this free online video editor works well for smaller ones.

5. Online-Video-Cutter: The Best All-in-One Tool

Online-video-cutter is the swiss army knife of free online video editors with no registration and no downloads

If there is one site you need to remember in this whole list, it's Online-Video-Cutter. It has been around for a long time and is a Swiss Army knife of free online video editors.

The web app works with files up to 500MB in size, and in almost any file format. Here's a quick list of what you can do:

  • Trim: Cut a small clip out of a longer video. You can preview it too.
  • Crop: Like cropping a photo, you can crop a video and change its frame.
  • Rotate: It's as easy as RotateMyVideo, but you can't change the aspect ratio.
  • Convert: You can convert the file from one popular video format to another.

Online-Video-Cutter is completely free, and unlike some other online tools, you don't need Adobe Flash to use it. The web app also protects privacy by deleting your video a few hours after you are done, so no one else can access it.

For Advanced Video Editing...

While Online-Video-Editor does all of the jobs well, the other apps in this list that specialize in one or two tasks are better at those tasks. For example, none of the other file size reducers manage compression as well as Compressify.

That said, these are basic free online video editors with no registrations and no downloads. If you need more than the aforementioned features, you're better off with these advanced free online video editors, which require you to sign up to use. And if you're looking for a video editor suitable for kids, you're one click away from our recommendations.
