Terms of service

Fair and transparent terms for our free, open-source video editor. Contact us if you have any questions.

Your Content, Your Rights

You own everything you create. All editing and processing happens locally on your device. We never see, store, or have access to your files. We make no claims to ownership, licensing, or rights over your videos, projects, or any content you create using VCut.

  • Your content never leaves your device
  • You retain all intellectual property rights to your content
  • You can export and use your content however you choose
  • No watermarks or licensing restrictions from VCut

How You Can Use VCut

VCut is free for personal and commercial use. You can:

  • Create videos for personal, educational, or commercial purposes
  • Use VCut for client work and paid projects
  • Share and distribute videos created with VCut
  • Review and modify the underlying OpenCut software under its MIT license

You're responsible for how you use VCut and the content you create. Don't use it for anything illegal in your jurisdiction.

AI Features

AI features like auto captions run entirely in your browser using on-device models. No content is uploaded to any server. These features are optional - you can use VCut without them.

Service

VCut does not currently require an account. The service is provided "as is" without warranties. While we strive for reliability, we can't guarantee uninterrupted service.

Open Source Benefits

Because VCut is built on MIT-licensed OpenCut code, you have additional rights:

  • Review our code to see exactly how we handle your data
  • Self-host the software on your own servers
  • Modify the software to suit your needs
  • Contribute improvements back to the community

Limitations and Liability

VCut is provided free of charge. To the extent permitted by law:

  • We're not liable for any loss of data or content
  • Projects are stored in your browser and may be lost if you clear browser data
  • We're not responsible for how you use the service
  • Our liability is limited to the maximum extent allowed by law

Since your content stays on your device, we have no way to recover lost projects. Consider exporting important videos when finished editing.

Service Changes

We may update VCut and these terms:

  • We'll notify you of significant changes to these terms
  • Continued use means you accept any updates
  • You can always self-host an older version if you prefer
  • Major changes will be discussed with the community on GitHub

Stopping Use

You can stop using VCut at any time:

  • Clear your browser data to remove local projects
