WeVideo

WeVideo is a browser-based video editor from WeVideo, a company founded in 2011. It lets users edit online without downloading a desktop app, and mobile apps are available for iOS and Android. Projects autosave to cloud storage, and the editor supports multiple video formats. Finished videos can be exported as MP4 or GIF, or as audio-only MP3; resolution depends on the plan and can reach 4K Ultra HD. Other listed tools include automatic captions, brand kits for logos, colors, fonts and templates, and team collaboration. The free plan provides five minutes of publishing time per month, 1 GB of cloud storage, and a 480p maximum resolution; videos made on it include a watermark. Paid options include Power at $4.99/mo (annual), Unlimited at $7.99/mo (annual), and Professional at $19.99/mo (annual). Creator and Instructor plans offer a seven-day trial without a stated credit-card requirement. Annual subscriptions are charged upfront for 12 months, renew automatically, and are non-refundable, including the current billing period after cancellation.

WeVideo combines browser and mobile editing with cloud autosave, captions, brand tools, and collaboration. Check the plan limits and billing terms, especially if you need higher resolution or longer publishing time.

WeVideo suits people who want to edit video in a browser or on an iOS or Android device. Its brand kits and collaboration tools may also suit teams managing shared or branded video work.

Overview

WeVideo is a browser-based video editor with companion apps for iOS and Android, cloud autosave, and export options up to 4K on eligible plans. It suits people who want to edit across web and mobile, with teams and educators served by dedicated plans. The free tier is tightly capped; the practical choice depends on how much publishing time, resolution, and collaboration you need.

Key features

The browser editor needs no download, and projects autosave to cloud storage for access across devices. That combination makes WeVideo a reasonable fit for people who move between a computer and a phone, though the free plan's 1 GB storage leaves little room for a growing library.

Exports range from 720p to 4K depending on plan. The free tier tops out at 480p and adds a watermark, so it is better for trying the workflow than publishing polished work. The editor supports many video formats and can export MP4, GIF, or audio-only MP3. Automatic captions are supported.

Brand kits can keep logos, watermarks, colors, fonts, and branded templates together, while collaboration features include real-time work and asset sharing on eligible plans. These tools matter most for recurring branded output or shared projects; they are not a reason to pay more if you only edit occasional personal videos.

Pricing

WeVideo is freemium, with paid plans from $4.99/mo (annual) and a 7-day trial. Trials are available for Creator and Instructor plans without a stated credit-card requirement. Monthly and annual subscriptions renew automatically; annual billing charges once upfront for 12 months. Fees are non-refundable, including the current billing period after cancellation.

The cheaper plans trade away resolution, publishing time, or both: Free is watermarked and limited to 480p, while Power caps publishing at 30 minutes a month and 720p. Payment uses SSL encryption and a PCI-compliant processor; full card details are not stored.

Platforms

WeVideo runs in a web browser and has mobile apps for iOS and Android. There is no desktop app. Web plus mobile access is useful for flexible workflows, but anyone who specifically wants a native desktop editor should look elsewhere.

Who it's for

Choose WeVideo if you want browser and phone editing, cloud autosave, and a path from short capped projects to unlimited 4K publishing. It is also a fit for small teams that can work within three seats, and educators who need the listed teacher or instructor plans. Skip it if you need generous free exports, do not want annual billing on the lower paid tiers, or need a larger team plan than the stated seat counts.

Pros and cons

• Pro: Browser editing and iOS/Android apps support work across devices without a desktop app download.
• Pro: Paid tiers scale to unlimited publishing and storage, with 4K on Unlimited and above.
• Pro: Brand kits and collaboration tools address repeatable team or business workflows.
• Con: Free exports are watermarked, limited to 480p, and capped at 5 minutes of publishing per month.
• Con: Power is capped at 30 minutes per month and 720p, while annual subscriptions are charged upfront and renew automatically.
• Con: Business and Teams are limited to three seats, so larger teams need another arrangement.

Verdict

WeVideo is best for people who want a browser-and-mobile editor that can grow into cloud-based 4K publishing, branded work, or small-team collaboration. Its strongest reason to choose it is that range; its strongest reason to look elsewhere is the restrictive free tier and the annual billing and seat limits that shape the paid choices.
