The all-new VideoKidnapper for iPhone, iPad, and Mac is on its way to the App Store. The full desktop studio is available now.
Import from your photo library, trim with frame-accurate precision, add styled captions, and export MP4 or GIF — all on device, no account, no watermark.
Requires iOS / iPadOS 17 or later.
The same fast editor, native on the Mac. Trim, caption, reframe for any platform, and export — sandboxed and App Store safe.
Requires macOS 14 or later.
The full studio: download from 1,000+ sites, motion-tracked captions, overlays, screen recording, batch export, and more.
Also via winget. Auto-updates through the Store.
The full studio for Linux, with FFmpeg bundled. AppImage, .deb, APT repository, or PyPI — pick your install.
chmod +x VideoKidnapper-x86_64.AppImage and run.
The full studio as a signed & notarized .dmg — web downloading, Whisper auto-captions, and everything else, outside the App Store sandbox.
Apple Silicon and Intel builds.
Everything you need to go from clip to shareable — nothing you don't.
Set in and out points to the exact frame. Queue multiple cuts from one video.
Pick fonts, sizes, colors, outlines, and positions. What you see is what exports.
Hardware-encoded MP4s and tuned GIFs, ready for any feed.
Original, 16:9, 9:16, or 1:1 — one tap to fit Shorts, Reels, TikTok, or widescreen.
No account, no analytics, no upload. Your videos never leave your device. Privacy policy
Free to use, clean exports, open source. Just edit and share.
