About OpenReel — Browser Video Editor
OpenReel is a free, open-source (MIT) browser-based video editor with a multi-track timeline, effects, text and graphics, and export. The build here is self-hosted directly from the project's own source and runs entirely client-side using WebCodecs and the MediaBunny library, with WebGPU-accelerated effects that fall back to Canvas2D: your media never leaves your browser.
How to use
- Pick a format (Vertical, Horizontal, or Square) on the welcome screen, or press Esc to jump straight into the editor.
- Import video, audio, or images with the "Import Media" button in the Assets panel, or drag files onto the canvas.
- Drag clips onto the timeline, then trim, split, and arrange them across tracks; add Text and Graphics layers from the tabs.
- Click "Export", choose your resolution and format, and save the finished video to your device.
Frequently asked questions
- Is my data uploaded anywhere?
- No. Importing, editing, and exporting all happen entirely in your browser using WebCodecs and the MediaBunny library — your media is never sent to a server by this site.
- Which browser do I need?
- A recent desktop Chrome, Edge, or other Chromium-based browser works best, since export relies on the WebCodecs API. WebGPU effects fall back to Canvas2D where WebGPU is unavailable. It is desktop-only (mobile is blocked).
- Do the sharing, cloud-template, and AI/transcription features work?
- The core import-edit-export workflow is fully offline. Optional extras (project sharing, the cloud template gallery, and speech/transcription) call the upstream project's own hosted services and are not part of this self-hosted build.
