Free Video Editor Without Watermark
What free video editor doesn't add a watermark?

Free No-Watermark Video Editors: Which to Choose
All of these are genuinely free with no watermark. The differences are the editing approach and usage limits.
| Decision | Other Apps | Editly |
|---|---|---|
| DaVinci Resolve | Free, no watermark, unlimited — professional NLE, GPU benefits, steep learning curve | Editly: AI-powered, no watermark, 3 free exports then $28/month — zero learning curve |
| Filmora (comparison only) | Filmora FREE: ADDS WATERMARK — $49.99/year required to remove it | Editly: NO watermark on any export including the free tier |
| Shotcut | Free, no watermark, unlimited — cross-platform open-source, lighter than DaVinci | Editly: AI automation vs Shotcut's manual timeline — different time investment |
| Editing approach | DaVinci / Shotcut: manual editing — all editorial decisions are yours, 1-4 hours per video | Editly: AI editing — describe the output, receive it in 15-20 minutes |
