If you post your own videos on TikTok, you’ll probably need to edit your videos at some point. While you can edit your videos on TikTok, you’re not really limited to the editing tools that TikTok offers within its app.
In this guide, we’ll walk you through your TiKTok video editing options, show you how to edit your clips in the TikTok app, and answer a few of your video editing questions about the popular short video sharing app.
How to edit a TikTok video
When it comes to editing TikTok videos, you have some options. You can edit your videos within TikTok using its native editing tools, or you can download a separate video editing app, edit your videos there, and then share your edited video with TikTok.
Editing tools within TikTok
TikTok is not just for recording and posting videos. You can also use TikTok for light video editing. After you’ve recorded a video clip or uploaded it to TikTok, you’ll be presented with a screen that offers several editing options. On this screen, TikTok lets you do things like add text, add stickers, use effects, add filters, and trim your video.
Editing TikTok videos using third-party video editing apps
You can also use a third-party app to edit your videos and then post them on TikTok. These apps tend to have more fully featured editing tools, but they also ask you to pay for access to more premium tools and for actions like removing watermarks from your final product.

Which app is the best for TikTok video editing?
It depends on your TikTok video editing needs. Overall, we like the Funimate app. It is free to use and available for Android and iOS. Funimate’s interface is easy to use and understand. It has a large selection of effects, overlays and transitions. And when it comes to editing your video clips, here you have more options like split, trim, crop and adjust speed.
When you’re ready to share your video, you can do so with other apps like TikTok, Instagram, or YouTube. You can even change the export resolution up to 720p for free, up to 1080p Full HD if you watch an ad, and up to 4K Ultra HD if you upgrade to a paid subscription.
However, this app has its drawbacks: although it’s free to download and use, Funimate will add a watermark to your videos unless you pay to remove them or watch an ad to remove them from your video. In addition, many effects and filters require a paid subscription or view an ad to access them.
Can you edit a clip in TikTok?
Yes, you can edit videos in TikTok. Here’s how to do it:
Step 1: Open the TikTok app and record a video using TikTok or upload an existing video to the TikTok app.
Step 2: You will then be redirected to a screen with several white icons on the right side. These icons represent various video editing and customization options. Here you can add text, add stickers, add effects, add filters, adjust (shorten) your video clip, add titles, adjust privacy settings, or add a voice track or voice effects.
For the purposes of this tutorial, we’ll focus on how to crop your video clip.

Step 3: Choose Adjust clips icon. This icon looks like a white play button with a vertical split.
Step 4: On Adjust clips screen, you’ll see a preview of your video at the top of the screen and a timeline of your video at the bottom (a rectangle that shows all the frames of your video). The timeline is surrounded by a red border with two thick handles on the left and right. Move those handles left or right to adjust the length of your TikTok video.

Step 5: Choose Save in the upper right corner when you are done trimming the clip.
A note about adding multiple clips to a post: You can add multiple videos and photos to a TikTok video post — you’ll just be redirected to a different type of editing screen (the one without the white icons). On this screen, select Default tab. Then tap each video clip to edit it individually. Move the red handles in the timeline area to shorten clips. Then choose Tick icon in the lower right corner to save your changes.
