Terms of service
Fair and transparent terms for our free, open-source video editor. Contact us if you have any questions.
Your Content, Your Rights
You own everything you create. All editing and processing happens locally on your device. We never see, store, or have access to your files. We make no claims to ownership, licensing, or rights over your videos, projects, or any content you create using RawCut.
- Your content never leaves your device
- You retain all intellectual property rights to your content
- You can export and use your content however you choose
- No watermarks, no licensing restrictions from RawCut
How You Can Use RawCut
RawCut is free for personal and commercial use. You can:
- Create videos for personal, educational, or commercial purposes
- Use RawCut for client work and paid projects
- Share and distribute videos created with RawCut
- Modify and distribute the RawCut software (under MIT license)
You're responsible for how you use RawCut and the content you create. Don't use it for anything illegal in your jurisdiction.
AI Features
AI features like auto captions run entirely in your browser using on-device models. No content is uploaded to any server. These features are optional - you can use RawCut without them.
Service
RawCut does not currently require an account. The service is provided "as is" without warranties. While we strive for reliability, we can't guarantee uninterrupted service.
Limitations and Liability
RawCut is provided free of charge. To the extent permitted by law:
- We're not liable for any loss of data or content
- Projects are stored in your browser and may be lost if you clear browser data
- We're not responsible for how you use the service
- Our liability is limited to the maximum extent allowed by law
Since your content stays on your device, we have no way to recover lost projects. Consider exporting important videos when finished editing.
Service Changes
We may update RawCut and these terms:
- We'll notify you of significant changes to these terms
- Continued use means you accept any updates
- You can always self-host an older version if you prefer
- Major changes will be discussed with the community on GitHub
Stopping Use
You can stop using RawCut at any time:
- Clear your browser data to remove local projects
