A Kapwing alternative that never uploads your videos
Brume's video editor runs in your browser: your videos are read and changed on your device, so there's no upload to wait for and nothing kept on a server. Here's how it compares with Kapwing, fairly.
| What | Brume | Kapwing |
|---|---|---|
| Where your videos go | Stay on your device: read and changed in your browser, never uploaded | Uploaded to Kapwing's cloud; free projects are deleted after 3 days |
| Account | None | One, to start free |
| Mark on free exports | A small Brume mark on the editor's free exports; none on the one-job tools | A Kapwing watermark |
| Free export size | 720p | 720p |
| Subtitles | Heard on your device, with Basic | Automatic, up to 10 minutes on the free plan |
| Paid plans | From $3 a month, billed yearly, or once for life | Pro $16 and Business $50, as its pricing page shows |
Where Kapwing is the better choice
- Projects kept in the cloud, opened from any computer and shared with a team.
- AI tools beyond subtitles: translation, dubbing, voice clones and lip sync.
- Stock media and a brand kit to start from.
- Rendering on its servers, so a slow or old computer copes.

Questions
What people ask before they switch.
Is Brume's video editor free?
Yes. It exports at 720p with a small Brume mark on the free plan; Basic and up export without it and at larger sizes. Nothing to sign up for.
Do my videos leave my computer?
No. Brume reads and edits them in your browser, with its own video encoder. Nothing is uploaded, so nothing is kept anywhere but on your device.
Can Brume add subtitles like Kapwing?
Yes, with Basic and up: a speech model runs in your browser, writes the subtitles and times each word. Your sound never leaves your device.
