Video editing apps for Android and iOS not only help you edit on the go but also enables your content in social media platforms to stand out. This proves that you do not need powerful and expensive PC/laptops to edit and to create professional-looking videos. All you need is your smartphone or tablet, some imagination, and a bit of skill, of course.

We list down our top video editing apps for Android and iOS below that we love using on our phones.

For iOS users:

Splice

Splice claims to give you desktop editing performance on your iPhone or iPad. It has the usual array of editing tools – including trimming, cropping, effects, titles, speed controls, animation, transitions, and music. Just tap to trim clips, adjust transitions, add slow-motion effects, and more to create beautiful videos you love to share.

One of Splice’s strong points is its music offering. It has a wide range of music and sound effects to layer over your video and will even sync your video to the beat of your soundtrack.
