How Do I Make My Account Private?

📍 This Means:

• All projects you choose to publish or share publicly (e.g., via "Share to CapCut Community" or public links) will be visible to other users.
• However, projects saved locally or stored in "My Projects" without sharing are private by default—they are only accessible to you on your devices (when logged in).

Below is a platform-by-platform confirmation:

CapCut Online

• After logging in, click your avatar → "Account Settings".
• Available settings include email, password, language, and data management— but no privacy controls for account visibility.
• Projects are only visible to others if you explicitly export with a public link or share to community (if enabled in your region).
• Otherwise, everything stays private.

📍 Notice: Web does not support social profile pages like TikTok or Instagram—so there's no "follower" system or public profile to privatize.

CapCut Desktop (Windows / macOS)

• The desktop app has no account privacy settings at all.
• It focuses purely on editing; all projects are saved locally or to your cloud account as private drafts unless you manually export or share them.

📍 Reminder: Desktop is a creation tool, not a social platform—so "private account" isn't applicable here.

CapCut Mobile App (iOS / Android)

• Go to your profile → Tap the three-dot menu or "Settings".
• You'll find options like "Account Settings", "Privacy Policy", or "Content Preferences"— but no toggle for "Private Account" or "Hide My Profile".
• Any project shared to the CapCut Community feed becomes public.
• Unshared drafts remain on your device or cloud account and are not visible to others.

📍 Note: While you can control what you share, you cannot make your entire account private (e.g., hide your profile or restrict who sees your public posts).

🔑 What You Can Control (Best Practices)

Even though you can't set your account to "private", you can protect your content by:

1
1. Never sharing to the CapCut Community unless intended for public viewing.
2
2. When exporting, avoid generating public links (on Web/Desktop)—use "Save to Device" instead.
3
3. Regularly review "My Projects" (in AI Design or main library) to ensure only desired content is published.
4
4. If you've shared something by mistake, delete the project—this removes it from public access (where applicable).

We recommend treating all unshared projects as private by default—and only sharing when you intend to.
