Clideo is a collection of quick video tools for casual users that helps merge, compress, and resize videos.

About

Clideo

Clideo is like a Swiss Army knife for video tasks—but each tool is separate. Need to merge videos? There's a tool. Compress a file? Another tool. Add subtitles? Yep, different tool. It's all browser-based, super simple, and gets the job done when you need one specific thing fixed fast. No software, no account (for basic stuff), just upload and go.

The catch? It's not really "editing" in the creative sense. Each tool does one thing, so you're bouncing between them if you need multiple edits. And forget about complex projects—this is for quick fixes only. It's utility, not artistry. Perfect when you're thinking "I just need to resize this real quick," not so much for "let me craft a masterpiece." What's your need: quick fixes or creative control? For a unified experience, try tools that combine AI video trimming with sound effects and other features in one platform.

CapCut is a full-featured video editor for mobile and desktop, popular for its trendy effects, templates, and easy social sharing.

About

CapCut

CapCut is TikTok’s editing sidekick, packed with free tools and viral-ready features. It works on both mobile and desktop, offering trendy effects, a massive music and sound library, and AI tools like auto-cutting, background noise removal, and those bold animated captions you see all over your feed. It’s fast, intuitive, and built to keep pace with the rhythm of social media.

But let’s be real—it’s made for short-form content. You won’t find deep color grading, multi-cam editing, or timeline finesse you'd expect in something like Premiere. And since it’s backed by ByteDance, folks with privacy concerns might raise an eyebrow. Some features also rely on a live internet connection, which can slow things down. That said, for quick-turn clips, reels, and TikToks, it delivers exactly what today’s creators need—fast, fun, and optimized for scroll-stopping content.

I often try to reduce videos in three web sites and Clideo is always the one which reduces the most

Thank you so much! I was panicking for an MP3 dance when I came across your easy to use App. I will be loyal to you, my SAVIOR App.

I would rate it a Zero if possible. I used professional audio in a 3-min video, but couldn't figure out how to trim it. So I bought the 'premium' or 'pro' to download the highest quality Clideo had to offer. If there was any change, it was only for the worse! I asked for a refund. And hot nothing but harrasment.

I'm not sure why people don't like it, but it's a very good editing app that isn't a "scam." You may need to pay for a subscription for some features, but I think it's worth it for the price. For example, I pay 50 dollars a year for it, and it's awesome.

Revised! I just went ahead and purchased Pro. So far big improvement. I really detest the way I got here. But I have to say working cross platform so far seems ok. I will revisit UX once I have used for a bit. I am improving rating to 4 stars. Saved me a fair amount of time.
