The free Kapwing alternative — subtitles, no watermark
eziclip auto-captions your video for free, entirely in your browser — no watermark, no sign-up, and nothing uploaded. Kapwing's free plan puts a Kapwing watermark on every export, caps videos at about one minute and 720p with a 250MB upload limit, requires a Google or email account, and auto-deletes free projects after three days. eziclip has no watermark, no length or quality cap, and your video never leaves your device.
Kapwing is a polished online editor, but its free tier is hard-capped: a watermark on every export with no free way to remove it, a roughly one-minute, 720p ceiling, and a forced sign-up. For the most common reason people open Kapwing — adding subtitles to a clip — eziclip does it free, in full quality, with an editable transcript and styled captions, and exports clean every time.
