TikCut 4.3 — coming soon!!

Tikcut now knows you a little better. • Personalisation: The editor now greets each creator by name, with a new message on every daily open, building familiarity into the product experience. • In-app discount redemption: Promotional codes can now be applied directly at the paywall or from the account screen, removing a support dependency from the conversion path. • Copy overhaul: Rewritten interface copy across every screen for clarity and consistency. • Performance: Latency and stability improvements to the editing pipeline, delivering faster processing than 4.2. Film the take. We'll handle the rest!

Jul 2026Update

Smaller update, one big addition! ONBOARDING WALKTHROUGHS! TikCut now walks you through everything the first time you land on it. Each screen guides you through what the buttons do, step by step, right where you are. No guessing, no jumping to a video and back. Get walked through each part the first time you open it. Follow along at your own pace, or skip it if you already know your way around. New walkthroughs appear automatically as we add features, no update needed. Plus the usual round of polish and small fixes. Questions or ideas? Join our Discord from the home screen.

Jun 2026Feature

Auto Zoom hits the mobile app

The AI scans your transcript for emphasis moments and punches in 1.4× at exactly the right beat — live in the preview, baked into the export. Same engine as the web editor, now in your pocket.

Jun 2026Feature

Multi-take mode — film it five times, post the best one

Upload every take of the same video. TikCut analyzes each one, lets you cherry-pick segments across takes on a master timeline, and stitches a single clean export.

May 2026Release

TikCut is now a PWA — install it on your home screen

Install straight from your browser on iOS and Android. Core assets are cached for offline access, so you can load a project and scrub the timeline even without a connection.

May 2026Product Update

Silence removal now works on Safari and Firefox

An AudioContext fallback handles cross-browser waveform analysis without WASM downloads. The 'unsupported browser' gate is gone — every modern browser cuts now.

May 2026Feature

Script Polish — filler words don't survive the cut

An LLM scans your transcript for stutters, trailing fillers ('um', 'like', 'you know'), and sentences that restart mid-thought. It surfaces every cut point so you approve them in one tap.

May 2026Behind the Scenes

How we export video in the browser without a server

WebCodecs for frame-accurate decoding, FFmpeg.wasm for muxing, all inside a Web Worker. Your video never leaves your device — silence removal and trimming happen entirely client-side.

⚡ Origin story

TikCut started with one observation — TikTok Shop affiliates were spending hours editing videos that should take minutes. So we built the thing. Idea to beta in under a week, no waiting, no overthinking.

"We don't move slow to protect our ego. We move fast to earn your trust. Every feature you see exists because someone actually asked for it."
