About MyFreeVideoTool

MyFreeVideoTool is a full multitrack video editor and twenty-two focused video tools — trimming, compressing, converting, GIF-making, green-screen keying, subtitling and more — running entirely in your web browser.

Why we built it

The "free online video editor" category has a business model problem: processing video on servers costs real money, so every competitor recoups it from you — upload waits, file-size caps, watermarked exports, account walls, and a paid tier that holds your own video hostage. We sidestepped the entire economics: modern browsers ship WebAssembly, WebGL and powerful media APIs, so the processing can run on your hardware. No server costs means nothing to paywall.

What that buys you

• Speed — a 500 MB file opens instantly because it never travels anywhere.
• Privacy by physics — there is no server that could store, leak or train on your footage.
• No ransom — full-quality exports, no watermark, no account, no caps. Ever.

The technology

The editor composites layers on a canvas in real time, mixes audio through the Web Audio graph, keys green screens with a WebGL shader on your GPU, and exports via your browser's recording APIs — with FFmpeg (compiled to multithreaded WebAssembly, self-hosted) handling conversions and the compatibility MP4 path. The single-purpose tools use the same engine with fast paths where possible: lossless trims and mutes are stream copies that finish in seconds.

Honesty corner

Editor exports run at playback speed — every frame is composited on your machine, so a 3-minute project takes about 3 minutes. Auto-AI subtitles aren't built yet (manual entry + SRT import are). When something has a trade-off, we say so on the page where it matters.
