Free video tools for small businesses

You don't need editing software to post good video: turn product or listing photos into a video with music, generate a voiceover from a script, add captions (most social video is watched on mute), make a vertical version for Reels and TikTok, and shrink files for email. Free, no watermark, and your files stay on your computer.

The workflow, step by step

    Photos to a video with gentle motion, title cards and music cut on the beat; or record your screen for a walkthrough.

  2. 2

    Give it a voice

Questions

How do I make a video from photos for free?

Drop the photos into the photo slideshow tool, add music and a title card, choose vertical or square, and export. Cuts can land on the beat of the music.

Do I need captions on social videos?

Yes: much social video is watched with the sound off, and captions also help accessibility. The caption tool burns them into the video so they show everywhere.

Is there a watermark?

No. Exports are yours, and there is no account.
