CutRoll turns a pile of raw iPhone clips into a polished, ready-to-post vertical video in about 60 seconds. Opinionated presets instead of a 20-minute editing session.
iPhone · iOS 26 · Everything runs on-device
General-purpose editors give you a thousand options and take twenty minutes. CutRoll gives you the handful that actually change the post, and gets out of the way.
You shot fourteen clips at dinner. Half are sideways, two are slow-mo, one is a photo. Posting them means trimming, reframing, captioning, and exporting at the right size — every single time, for every single platform.
CutRoll fixes the boring parts by default. Rotation metadata is normalised so nothing lands sideways. Mismatched clips get blur-fill instead of black bars. Cuts are hard cuts unless you ask for a crossfade.
What's left is the part only you can do: pick the clips, pick the order, pick the format. That's the whole edit.
Your footage never leaves your phone. Import, transcription, rendering and export all happen on-device using Apple's own media frameworks. There is no server, no upload, and no account to create. Read the privacy policy.
Four things that turn a folder of clips into something worth posting.
On-device transcription with word-level timing. Six caption styles, including karaoke word-highlight. Edit the transcript, and the timing follows.
Blur-fill, colour-fill, or crop with a draggable focal point. All eight rotation cases handled properly, so landscape footage never lands sideways.
Import music or lift the audio straight off another video. Beat markers appear on the strip, trims snap to them, and music ducks under speech.
CutRoll reads the GPS data already in your clips and offers the place name as a tag. One tap to add "Lisbon, Portugal" — no typing.
A format preset is more than a resolution — it changes the defaults for framing, transitions and splitting. Switch preset and the same project re-exports for a different platform.
1080 × 1920, up to 3 minutes, exported as a single file.
1080 × 1920, auto-split into numbered 60s or 15s segments.
1080 × 1080 for feed posts that need to work anywhere.
1080 × 1350, the tallest crop the feed will let you have.
The clip strip is the whole timeline. Drag to reorder, tap to select, pull the handles to trim frame-accurately with haptics on the boundaries.
Everything autosaves as you go. There is no save button anywhere in the app, and your originals are never modified.
Three steps between your camera roll and a finished post.
Multi-select videos and photos straight from Photos. CutRoll never asks for full library access.
Reel, Story, Square or 4:5. Framing, transitions and captions get sensible defaults instantly.
Saves to a CutRoll album in Photos, then hands off to the share sheet or straight to Instagram.
The free tier is a real editor, not a demo. Pro removes the watermark and unlocks the higher-quality exports.
No. Every step — import, transcription, rendering and export — runs on your iPhone using Apple's media frameworks. There is no server behind CutRoll, no account to create, and the app works fully offline.
The full editor. Every tool, every format preset, unlimited projects, auto-captions and location tags. The free tier exports at 720p with a small CutRoll watermark in the corner. Pro removes the watermark and unlocks 1080p and 4K.
English, Italian, Spanish, Brazilian Portuguese, German and French. The language is detected from your clip automatically, and you can override it per project. Transcription accuracy depends on Apple's on-device speech models and how clean your audio is.
No, and that's deliberate. CutRoll exports to your Photos library and hands off through the standard iOS share sheet, with a shortcut that opens Instagram directly. Automated posting requires private APIs that break constantly and put your account at risk.
Yes. Slow-mo imports at its recorded speed with an option to keep the slow-motion effect. Dolby Vision HDR footage is tone-mapped correctly on export rather than coming out washed out. Landscape and square sources are reframed with blur-fill by default, and rotation metadata is normalised so nothing ends up sideways.
An iPhone running iOS 26 or later. CutRoll is iPhone-only — there is no iPad-optimised layout and no Android version planned.
