Edit Instagram Reels on your computer

Phone apps are fiddly for anything beyond a quick cut. Edit your Reels on a big screen instead, with a real multi-track timeline, colour looks, emoji stickers and music, then export an MP4 for Instagram.

Why edit Reels on a computer?

A laptop screen and a mouse make precise edits far easier: you can see the whole timeline, trim to the exact moment, and line captions up with what's being said. Each layer has its own track, so moving a sticker never knocks your music out of sync.

Effects that suit Reels

Twelve built-in effects and transitions cover the popular Reels styles: beat zoom-punch, bass shake, strobe flash, spotlight, colour cycle, mirror flip, white flash, fade to black, whip slide and circle wipe. Place each one exactly where you want it on the FX1 track.

Music and sound

Add your own music or voice-over on two audio tracks, set each clip's volume up to 200%, change speed, or detach a clip's original sound to edit it separately.

Your files stay with you

Everything runs in your browser on your own computer. Nothing is uploaded, so your unreleased content stays private.
