4K quality videos export

Hi,

Yes — as of now, exporting in 4K (and even 2K/1080p HD) in CapCut is now gated behind the Pro (premium) subscription.

What is now Pro-only in CapCut?

What used to be free—exporting in HD and up—is now locked behind a paywall.

• CapCut Free limitations: The free version of CapCut limits video exports to a maximum of 1080p resolution. It also includes a watermark on exported videos and has limited access to advanced AI tools, effects, and filters.

• CapCut Pro benefits: CapCut Pro offers 4K resolution exports, no watermarks, access to premium effects, filters, transitions, and AI-powered tools (like background removal, auto-captioning, and motion tracking).

How to get 4K exports

1. CapCut Pro: Subscribe through the app to unlock HD/4K export options.

2. Use alternatives: Other editors like DaVinci Resolve (desktop) allow free 4K exports.

3. Older/free versions or mods: You might find older APKs claiming to enable Pro features, but these carry legal and security risks .

• Free CapCut now allows export only in SD (480p), sometimes HD (720p).

• Paid Pro plan is required for 1080p, 2K, and 4K exports.

• Expect high-quality video export to require payment unless you use alternative software.

Tip:

If you're using CapCut on PC, you might want to finish the edit in CapCut, export in lower quality (e.g., 720p), then upscale it to 4K using free AI upscalers like:

• Cupscale
