No upload · No watermark · No account
A video editor with no watermark — actually none
Kapwing and VEED stamp a watermark on every free export and cap it at 720p; Descript watermarks free output too. Clipforge never watermarks anything, at any tier — free is unlimited 1080p exports from a real multi-track editor, with no account and no upload. We can afford that because your own hardware does the rendering; there is no server bill to recover.
No signup · No upload · No watermark — verify it in DevTools
- No watermark on any export, free or Pro — published as a permanent principle
- Free tier exports unlimited 1080p MP4 — no daily caps, no minute meters
- Real editing: multi-track timeline, transitions, text, music, audio mixing
- No account and no upload — your footage never leaves your device
How it works
- 1 Open the editor — no signup, nothing to install.
- 2 Drop your clips; they're copied to local project storage, never uploaded.
- 3 Cut, arrange, add text and music on the multi-track timeline.
- 4 Export 1080p MP4 free — and check every corner of the frame: nothing stamped on it.

Frequently asked questions
Is the export really watermark-free on the free plan?
Yes, permanently. No watermark exists anywhere in the codebase — not on free, not on Pro, not on any format. Watermarking free output is how upload-based editors push upgrades to recover server costs; Clipforge renders on your hardware, so free users cost us nothing and there is nothing to recover.
What's the catch then — how is it free?
The honest economics: cloud editors pay for every render minute, so they meter free tiers with watermarks, 720p caps and export limits. Clipforge's rendering happens on your device, so unlimited watermark-free 1080p costs us nothing. Pro ($9/mo, $69/yr or $119 once) sells 4K/60fps and extra formats — capability, not the basics.
Are there export count limits or daily caps?
No. Unlimited exports, unlimited projects, unlimited project length — published as a never-gated list on the pricing page. The only free-tier limits are resolution (1080p) and frame rate (30fps).
Do I need an account?
No. Open the editor and start; there is no signup, no email, no trial timer. A license key exists only if you buy Pro.
Can I use free exports commercially?
Yes. Commercial use is on the never-gated list — your exports are yours, whatever tier you're on.
