Clipchamp is Microsoft’s browser-based editor, and it comes pre-installed on Windows 11. There is nothing to download, and it handles trims, captions, voiceovers, and templates well.

The free plan is unusually generous: Free exports up to 1080p with no watermark, as long as you avoid premium assets. Auto captions, text-to-speech and background removal are included.

The pricing change to know: As of September 2026, Clipchamp’s own pricing page no longer lists a standalone Premium price. Premium comes through a Microsoft 365 Personal or Family subscription.

Older articles quoting $11.99 a month are out of date. If you already pay for Microsoft 365, you may already have Premium.

What Premium adds: 4K export, the premium stock library, premium filters and a brand kit. Using a premium asset on the free plan watermarks that video.
