CapCut AI Features — Complete Guide to All AI Tools (2025)
CapCut has become a leader in AI-powered video editing. In 2025, it offers more AI tools than almost any other free video editor — from automatic caption generation to AI background removal, voice cloning, and script writing. This guide covers every AI feature in CapCut and how to use them.
All CapCut AI Features in 2025
Auto Captions
How: Tap Text > Auto Captions. Select language and tap Start.Auto Captions is CapCut's most popular AI feature. It uses speech recognition to automatically transcribe your video's dialogue and place it as synced subtitles on screen. It supports over 15 languages and works remarkably well even with accents and background noise. Auto captions increase viewer retention significantly, especially for videos where users watch without sound.
AI Background Removal
How: Select clip > Tap Remove BG in toolbar.CapCut's AI Background Removal tool automatically detects and removes the background from your video — no green screen required. The AI uses edge detection to cleanly separate the subject from the background. You can then replace the background with a solid color, a custom image, or another video clip. This works best when there is clear contrast between the subject and background.
Smart Cutout
How: Tap Smart Cutout in the toolbar and trace your subject.Smart Cutout allows you to isolate any specific element in your video — not just people. Trace around the object you want to isolate and CapCut's AI will refine the selection with precise edge detection. This is useful for creating custom overlays, adding objects to different backgrounds, or creating creative split-screen effects.
AI Portrait (Retouch)
How: Tap Retouch in the toolbar to access portrait tools.CapCut's AI Portrait tools use facial recognition to enhance faces in your video. Features include skin smoothing, face reshaping, eye enhancement, teeth whitening, and makeup simulation. These tools are especially popular for beauty and lifestyle content creators who want a polished, professional look without complex post-processing.
AI Script Writer
How: Available in the Text section of the toolbar.CapCut's AI Script feature can help you write video scripts, captions, and descriptions based on prompts. Simply describe your video topic and the AI will generate a script you can use as a starting point. This is useful for creators who struggle with writing content or want to speed up their production workflow.
Beat Sync
How: Tap Audio > Beat Sync after adding music to your project.Beat Sync is an AI-powered feature that automatically analyzes your background music and marks the beat points. CapCut then suggests where to place your video cuts to sync perfectly with the rhythm of the music. This creates a professional, polished feel that is extremely popular in music videos and lifestyle content.
Voice Effects & AI Voice Changer

CapCut AI vs Competitor AI Tools
CapCut offers more free AI features than virtually any other mobile video editor. Apps like KineMaster and InShot have minimal AI capabilities compared to CapCut's comprehensive suite. Adobe Premiere Rush offers some AI features but requires a Creative Cloud subscription that costs significantly more than CapCut.
