Welcome to Capcut: a complete guide

• A note to users .

• Capcut has updated it terms of use As of June 2025. Therefore I would not  recommend using Capcut until you have read and understand  the new terms .

• Here’s a clear summary of why many users are strongly warning against using CapCut following its Terms of Service update on June 12, 2025:

• 
  

  1. Permanent, Irrevocable License Over Your Content

  • By uploading or syncing anything—even drafts or clips stored in the cloud—you grant CapCut (and ByteDance) a perpetual, worldwide, royalty-free, sublicensable and transferable license to use, modify, distribute, monetize, and even resell your content without compensating you or requiring permission

  • This license remains active even if you delete your account or remove content

    
    

  • 2. Rights to Your Likeness, Voice & Biometric Data

  • The update explicitly allows CapCut to use your name, image, voice, and biometric data (like facial recognition, voice patterns) in promotions or ads, with no compensation or approval required

  • This has serious implications for privacy and identity exploitation, particularly concerning for journalists and public figures .

  3. Non-Confidentiality of Uploaded Content

  • All content you upload is now considered non-confidential, meaning CapCut can share it broadly, including with third parties and across ByteDance platforms (e.g. TikTok), potentially for profiling or algorithmic targeting.

    
    

  4. Liability Shifts & Future Term Changes

  • Users must also agree to broad liability waivers, making them responsible for their content.

  • CapCut reserves the right to change pricing, plans, features, or terms at any time, and continued use is deemed consent

  5. Content Use Restrictions & Monetization Risk

  • Built-in assets like templates, stock footage, music, filters, and stickers are now typically restricted from commercial use unless you get a Pro license or explicit permission
