What's Special About CapCut on iPad?

CapCut for iPad is a newly launched product designed to provide a more advanced and optimized editing experience. During this Beta stage, CapCut is offering selected premium features as a limited-time free trial so users can explore and test them without restrictions.

Why Are Other Platforms Different?

The app, web, and PC versions are already fully released products with established pricing models. That's why premium features on these platforms may require credits or a Pro subscription, while the iPad version temporarily offers free access as part of testing and improvement.

Will iPad Features Always Be Free?

No, free access on iPad is not permanent. As the product continues to develop and moves out of Beta, CapCut may introduce updated subscription plans and align feature access across all platforms.
