Edits / About
Who we are, what this site is for, where the official Edits resources live, and the reference sources behind our guides.
This is not the official Edits website. editsais.com is an independent fan-made guide, and this website exists for educational purposes only. We publish tutorials, comparisons, and download guides to help creators learn and use the Edits app - nothing more.
The official Edits website is https://creators.instagram.com/edits, published by Instagram. For official downloads, always use the Google Play Store or the Apple App Store.
We are not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by Instagram or Meta Platforms, Inc. "Edits", "Instagram", and "Meta" are trademarks of Meta Platforms, Inc., used here only to identify and describe the app.
Edits is a free video creation app made by Instagram (Meta Platforms) that helps creators make great videos on their phones. Launched in 2025, it combines a frame-accurate editing timeline with creator-focused features - idea tracking, auto captions, AI tools like cutouts and green screen, and performance insights - all in one place, with no watermark on exports.
It's designed for short-form, vertical video: Instagram Reels first, but the results work just as well for YouTube Shorts or TikTok-style content. You log in with your existing Instagram account - no separate profile is needed.
This site is an independent educational resource about the Edits app. We write plain-language guides for questions the official documentation doesn't always cover - like how to run Edits on a Windows PC or Mac, how APK downloads and sideloading work on Android, and how Edits compares to CapCut, VN, InShot, and Canva.
We don't host app files, we don't charge for anything, and we always point readers to official sources first: the Google Play Store, the Apple App Store, and Instagram's own Edits pages. Information on this site is provided as-is and may become outdated as the app changes - when in doubt, the official website is the source of truth.
