A video editor for Chromebook that runs in Chrome
Chromebooks are built around the browser, and so is this editor. Open a tab, drop in your clips and edit on a real multi-track timeline — no Linux setup, no app store.
Made for Chromebook
Video editors made for Windows or Mac don’t install on ChromeOS, which usually leaves you with phone apps stretched to a laptop screen or a Linux setup. CutLuma is a full editor that runs inside Chrome, so it works on a Chromebook the same way it does on any other laptop.
Pick clips from your Downloads folder or anywhere the Files app can see, and they open straight away. Exporting happens on the Chromebook itself, so the time it takes depends on its processor: shorter videos and lower resolutions finish fastest, and a long 4K export will take a while on a budget model.
Chrome on a Chromebook can capture the screen too, so the studio recorder works: record a tab, a window or the whole screen with your camera in a bubble, and get auto-zoom and silence removal when you stop. It’s handy for school projects, presentations and how-to videos.

Tools that help
Questions? Answers.
Is there a free video editor for Chromebook?
Yes. CutLuma’s editor is free and runs in Chrome. Free exports are 720p with a small watermark; paid plans remove it and export at higher resolutions.
Do I need to install Linux or an Android app?
No. It is a website — open it in Chrome and start editing.
Can I record my screen on a Chromebook?
Yes, with the built-in studio recorder in Chrome — unless your school or work administrator has turned screen capture off.
Will it work on an older Chromebook?
Keep Chrome up to date and it should open. Editing and exporting use the Chromebook’s own processor, so older or budget models are slower; shorter projects and 720p exports are easiest on them.
