On your phone

A phone-sized editor that runs in the browser

There is no EchoWave app for Android, and none is needed. Open the editor in Chrome and you get a layout built for a phone screen: a preview, a timeline, and a bottom toolbar. Videos and photos come from your gallery or files, and the finished video downloads as an MP4. On a bigger screen, the same tools are in our Chromebook video editor and online video editor.

What you get

What works on an Android phone

All of this ran in a phone-sized browser window in our own tests.

  • Phone layout

    The editor switches to a phone layout with a preview, a timeline and a bottom toolbar for Media, Text, Elements and Subtitles.

  • Add from your gallery

    Tap the Add media card to open Android's file picker, then choose videos, photos or audio. Files show Finishing on the timeline while they upload.

  • Auto captions

    Open Subtitles and press Generate captions. The language is detected automatically, it needs no account, and you can keep editing while it works.

  • Record voiceover or video

    Record voiceover from the Media panel while you watch the video, or record with the camera in the browser, with takes up to 60 minutes.

  • Music and sounds

    Add royalty-free background tracks and sound effects from Media, or upload your own audio.

  • Export an MP4

    Press Export, choose 480p or 720p on the free plan, then download the MP4. A paid plan lifts the limit to 1080p and drops the badge.

How it works

How to edit a video on Android

Four steps in Chrome.

  1. Open the editor

    Go to echowave.io in Chrome and start a new project. The first card asks you to add video, photos or audio.

  2. Add your clips

    Tap the card and choose files from your gallery. Wait until Finishing clears on the timeline before you export.

  3. Edit and caption

    Trim on the timeline, then use Text, Elements and Subtitles from the bottom toolbar to add titles, shapes and captions.

  4. Export and share

    Tap Export at the top, choose the quality and render. Download the MP4 from the result page, then send it from your phone.

Phone tips

Getting good results on a phone

  • Set the shape first

    Choose the canvas size before you place anything. Use a vertical preset for Reels, Shorts or TikTok.

  • Wait for Finishing

    A clip says Finishing while it uploads. Stay on the page until it clears so your edits use the full file.

  • Use Wi-Fi for big files

    Long clips are large to upload. A steady connection saves time and mobile data.

  • Caption for silent viewing

    Most people scroll without sound. Generate captions, then pick a readable style.

  • Test with a short cut

    Render a few seconds first to check the look before you export a long project.

  • Use a current Chrome

    Keep Chrome up to date, since the editor relies on modern browser features.

Edit on your phone, nothing to install

Open the editor in Chrome, add your clips and export an MP4 in a few taps.

Android Video Editor FAQ

Can I edit a video on Android without installing an app?

Yes. Open echowave.io in Chrome, start a new project and add clips from your gallery. You can trim, add text, music and captions, and export an MP4. There is no download or Play Store app, and you can start without making an account.

Which browser should I use on Android?

Chrome. It is the browser we used when we walked through the phone editor. The editor relies on modern browser features, so keep Chrome updated, and try Chrome first if something misbehaves in another browser.

Does the free export have a watermark?

Yes, on the free plan. The MP4 comes out at up to 720p, with a small EchoWave badge in the corner and a short end card tacked on. A paid plan drops both and raises the ceiling to 1080p. Your first download of an editor export also asks for an email address.

Can I install EchoWave as an app or use it offline?

It is not an app, and it does not work offline. Chrome can add the site to your home screen for quick access, but it is still the web editor and needs a connection.

Can I post straight to YouTube, Instagram or TikTok?

No. EchoWave exports a file; you upload it yourself in the other app. The share option sends a link to the finished video and does not publish for you.

How long does an export take on a phone?

In our tests, short videos of a few seconds finished rendering in roughly 10 to 70 seconds, longer for captions or visualizers. Rendering is done after you press Export, so a longer project takes longer.
