How it works

How to

Upload your video

Add a video from your device or simply drag and drop your footage into Picsart.

Speed up a video in seconds

Turn long footage into a quick, engaging edit without cutting out the moments that matter. Speed up video clips to condense tutorials, timelapses, behind-the-scenes footage, or everyday recordings while keeping the full sequence intact. Choose the playback speed that fits your content and give slower scenes a faster, more energetic pace. Working with several clips? You can also merge videos into one seamless edit once the pace is right.

Slow down video into buttery slow motion

Give fast-moving moments more room to land by slowing down your footage. Create smooth slow-motion videos that bring action, subtle details, reactions, and reveals into focus. Adjust the video speed to match the moment, whether you want a cinematic effect or simply need viewers to catch every detail.

Dial in any video speed, 0.25x to 4x

Set the pace that works for your edit instead of settling for a preset. Choose an exact video speed from 0.25x to 4x to make subtle adjustments or dramatic changes. Whether you want to speed up or slow down a video, precise controls help every moment play exactly the way you want. For another creative take on pacing, you can also reverse a video before or after changing its speed.

Speed up video online free - no app needed

Change the pace of your footage without downloading software or switching to another app. With Picsart, you can speed up video online for free, right from your browser, then preview the result before exporting. Your finished clip comes out in high quality with no watermark, ready to post or share. Need a privacy pass too? You can blur faces in the same Video Studio before you post.

Change video speed, keep the audio your way

Change your video speed without giving up control over the sound. Keep the original audio as you speed up or slow down your footage, or mute it completely when sound isn’t needed. You can also add your own music or soundtrack to give the finished edit a different feel.
