Download CapCut on Windows 11 or 10 without emulator

CapCut revolutionized smartphone video editing with its trendsetter features. A compact and ad-free suite of editing tools made it one of the first apps to leverage the potential of smartphone hardware.

Good news! CapCut is now free on Windows and macOS. You can download CapCut on your Windows 10 or 11 machines via the Microsoft Store. The app is also available on the App Store for Mac devices.

CapCut now runs on Windows and Mac!

Until recently, CapCut only supported mobile operating systems like Android, iOS, and iPad OS. The only way to enjoy CapCut’s simple UI and powerful editing features on your computer were to use an Android emulator.

Emulating CapCut was such a growing trend that BlueStack even featured a dedicated page on downloading and running CapCut using their emulator. However, the experience was often laggy, especially on low-end devices that could not run the big boys and Capcut alternatives like Filmora and Premier Pro in the first place.

Tune in as we discuss how to download CapCut on your computer!
