Frequently asked questions
Why is CapCut banned in the US?
CapCut is owned by ByteDance, the same Chinese company that owns TikTok. Following US legislation targeting ByteDance-owned apps over national security concerns, CapCut became unavailable in US app stores in January 2025.
What is the best CapCut alternative for TikTok and Reels?
FluxNote is the best CapCut alternative for short-form social content.

Does FluxNote add a watermark like CapCut now does?
No. FluxNote never adds a watermark to any export — not on the free plan, not on paid plans. CapCut started watermarking free exports in 2024.
