Nowadays, going viral on TikTok is not as easy as it may seem. Content creators are looking for new ways to spice up their videos and make it to the mystical For You page. In the early days of TikTok, you didn’t have to do much to get views. Stick to one niche, make similar videos, enjoy the constant growth. Sadly, it isn’t that easy anymore.
If you really want your TikToks to stand out from the rest of the crowd, you are going to have to do something different.
Using a TikTok video editor app is the best way to create unique, quality videos that people will be naturally attracted to. These are the 5 best apps to use for this exact purpose.
Let’s dive right in.
5 Best TikTok Video Editor Apps to Make Extraordinary Content
Top 5 Free TikTok Video Editor Apps for 2021
When we decided to rank the best 5 TikTok video editor apps in 2021, we based our selections on usability, mobile functionality, price, and overall impact.
Here is the list, starting with number 1.
Animoto is our pick for the best TikTok video editor that will actually make your content stand out (and hopefully go viral!). You can choose from a selection of new fonts, styles, templates, and features that all work together to enhance your TikToks. With a functioning mobile app, this software has literally everything you would need to spice up your videos.
It basically works like this: First, you record a video on TikTok as you would ordinarily. Then, you upload that video to Animoto, where you access an intuitive vertical editor, snazzy tools, and dazzling effects.
The best part? You can use this tool for free, forever. Upgrading to the premium plan gives you access to more music, stock images/videos, and removes the branding from your edits. I would highly recommend choosing the professional plan and going with annual pricing. (you save nearly 50% off if you pay by year vs. by the month) This way, it only costs $15 a month for an easy-to-use, HD video editor that will almost certainly be worth the investment.
Of course, you can always get started with the free plan first.
CapCut (originally Viamaker) is a free, all-in-one video editing app that was developed by the original creators of TikTok—Bytedance. Notable features include new fonts, more effects, a reverse speed tool, a music library, and trending stickers.
With over 2 million reviews on Google Play, CapCut already has a reputation for being a reliable video editor.

InShot is perhaps the most popular app for free video editing and video making. The best part of this tool is how you can use it to create custom sounds for your TikToks. With the ability to import your own music, you can bypass TikTok’s copyrighted block and create videos with any sound you want.
You can also combine videos, use trimming tools, and add video effects. Check out InShot on:
BeeCut is another free TikTok video editor app that is targeted for beginners. You don’t need extensive knowledge of marketing tools, editing software, or anything else to use this app.
The features included in BeeCut include: transition effects, filters, cropping, rotating, transitions, picture-in-picture effects, frame cutter, and more.

Last but not least, we have Zoomerang. This TikTok video editing tool is unique because it allows you to watch step-by-step in-app tutorials right before creating your own videos. This way, you can see how creators make your favorite TikToks and replicate it for yourself.
There are also the same basic video editing tools that are present in most of the other software we talked about today.
