Inshot is a widely used mobile application and a powerful, designed tool that allows to edit videos, create collages with various layouts to enhance the videos. Mostly the users edit the videos to make their content, then they used to post on Facebook, TikTok, Instagram, or on WhatsApp status. I got to know about this wonderful application when I was exploring the different video-making applications to edit the video, one thing that I liked the most was that here the users can easily split the video and can put background music, even the users can extract the audio from the videos too.
InShot offers numerous features of tools to help users edit videos in a better style, such as:

Trim & Cut – This allows us to remove unwanted parts of a video.
Merge & Join – This involves combining multiple clips into one continuous video.
Split – This means breaking a video into smaller parts or removing any unwanted portion of the clip.
Adjust Speed – Speeding up or slowing down clips for creative effects enhances the video.
Transitions – Adding smooth transitions between clips creates a professional look.
Filters & Effects – To enhance visuals, we can apply aesthetic filters.
Reverse Video – Users can also play clips in reverse for a fun effect.
PIP (Picture-in-Picture) – This allows one video to be placed on top of another for reaction videos.
Keyframe Animation – This feature enables customization of movement and effects over time for more flexible edits.
Moreover, I found that it is very simple and easy to use that provides with so many editing tools, the crucial tools for editing are cost free. Also, it offers premium version which the users can purchase to access for more efficient tools, but some advertisements appear while editing. However, the paid version offers no watermarks in which one time purchase is available with additional effects, premium filters, more music options with no advertisements.
It is a wonderful option for quick video editing, One of the limitations of using InShot on a PC through an emulator is potential performance issues. Emulators can slow down the editing process, especially with high-resolution videos, that’s why a dedicated PC video editor will provide smoother and faster performance. As every coin has two sides therefore, this application has its pros and cons. While reading the different opinions, while editing the video I also felt that it makes the resolution, the quality of display quite low which makes the viewers to watch the video quite unclear which I explored the major drawback while editing.
This looks like a really cool resource, I am going to for sure add this to my list of things to try out.

Thanks for this thoughtful post! I’ve used InShot here and there, but your breakdown of all the features made me appreciate how versatile it really is. I totally agree—it’s super user-friendly, especially when you just want to do a quick edit without getting overwhelmed. I also love that you mentioned the audio extraction and transitions—those are game-changers for content creation! And yes, the resolution drop is definitely something I’ve noticed too, especially when working with HD clips. Still, for a free app on-the-go, it really packs a punch. Your post has inspired me to revisit it and maybe even explore the premium version. Thanks for sharing your experience!
I totally agree with your reviews of InShot. That is a go-to app on my phone, which I normally use for doing short videos when celebrating my family members. I must say that it is very easy to use, and yes, you are right, I do extract audios from other sources. Thanks for sharing.
