Kapwing

Kapwing is a browser-based, AI-powered video creation platform used by more than 30 million creators and creative teams to generate, edit, caption, translate, dub, and repurpose video from a single prompt. Core tools include a drag-and-drop video and audio editor, subtitle and transcription generation, text-to-speech and dubbing in 40+ languages, a prompt-to-video generator, smart cut and clean audio, B-roll generation, and a repurpose studio for turning long videos into social clips. Kapwing (San Francisco, CA) is backed by CRV. It does not publish a public REST API; its developer surface is the official Kapwing Plugin API (the @kapwing/plugin-helpers npm package), which lets whitelisted plugins add media to the Kapwing editor canvas.

Kapwing is profiled on the APIs.io network. Tagged areas include Company, Media, Video, Video Editing, and Content Creation.

Kapwing’s developer surface includes pricing, engineering blog, support, and 9 more developer resources.
