InShot

InShot is the world's most downloaded mobile video editor for one precise reason: it works well, is quick to learn, and does everything needed to produce social content directly from your smartphone.

InShot is a video editing app for iOS and Android designed specifically for mobile content creation. The editor lets you trim and merge clips, adjust speed and audio, add music from the included library or your own device, animated text, stickers, filters and transitions. A widely used feature is aspect ratio adjustment: with a gesture you reformat the video for Instagram (1:1 or 9:16), TikTok (9:16), YouTube (16:9) or any other format. Clip transitions, scene splitting and reordering, audio effects and voice narration are also available. In recent years InShot has added AI features such as background noise removal, automatic music fade-out and speech-to-text generation. The free version is functional but adds a watermark and shows ads; the Pro plan is among the most affordable in the category and removes both, adding full access to premium filters and assets.

For creators, influencers and anyone producing video content for social media directly from their smartphone, without wanting to use desktop editing software.

InShot is free to download with full editing features, but adds a watermark to exported videos and shows ads during use. The Pro plan removes the watermark and ads and gives access to all premium filters and assets: it costs around $3.99 per month, $14.99 per year (about $1.25 per month) or around $34.99 with a lifetime license. It's one of the most affordable paid plans among quality mobile video editors.
