Edits, an Instagram app, is a free, standalone video creation and editing application developed by Meta Platforms, specifically designed to empower content creators with all the necessary tools to produce polished, high-quality short-form videos directly from their mobile devices.
Launched to compete with similar mobile editors, Edits is built around a comprehensive, frame-accurate timeline editor that allows for precise trimming, splitting, and arrangement of clips, supporting high-resolution exports up to 4K with no watermark.
The app integrates powerful creative features, including AI-powered tools such as image animation, green screen effects, and background cutouts, alongside a vast library of Instagram’s licensed music, sound effects, fonts, and customizable auto-generated captions.
Crucially, Edits simplifies the creator workflow by offering seamless sharing to Instagram, a dedicated workspace for saving content ideas and trending audio inspiration, and a live insights dashboard that provides real-time analytics like skip rates to help creators optimize their content strategy.
