Video Editor & Maker - InShot APK 2.243.1555

What is InShot?

InShot is a free video editor and maker for Android, listed on Google Play as "Video Editor & Maker - InShot" and published by InShot Video Editor. It's been on Play since March 2014 and has more than 500 million downloads, which makes it one of the longest-running editors on Android.

Its strength is simplicity. Open a clip, trim it, add music and text, drop in a filter, resize it for Instagram or YouTube, and export. Everything sits in one row of tools under the preview, so it's easy to learn even if you've never edited video before.

It's not as feature-packed as some video editing apps, but that's the point. For quick edits of everyday clips, it's often faster than more powerful editors. The free version has ads and a watermark; InShot Pro removes both.

What's new in InShot 2.243.1555

InShot 2.243.1555 reached Google Play on October 22, 2026. According to the release notes on Play:

• Keyframes for filters and effects. You can now animate filters and effects over time, for example fading a filter in halfway through a clip.
• Twist effects pack. A new set of effects called Twist.
• Bug fixes and other improvements.

Keyframes for filters are a useful step up for anyone making social clips: earlier versions could already animate position and size, and now effects can change over a clip too.

Key features

Trim, cut and split

Tap a clip on the timeline to trim its start and end, cut out the middle, or split it into two. You can also change speed, reverse a clip or rotate it. Changes appear in the preview straight away.

Music, sound effects and voice-over

Add songs from InShot's library or your own files, plus sound effects and a recorded voice-over. You can fade music in and out and set the volume for each track, so your voice stays clear over the music.

Text, stickers and filters

Add text with different fonts and animations, stickers and emoji, and filters to change the look of a clip. With keyframes, text and stickers can move across the frame.

Canvas for every platform

The Canvas tool reshapes your video for different platforms: 9:16 for Reels, Shorts and TikTok, 1:1 for square posts, or 16:9 for YouTube. Fill the empty space with a blurred background or a solid color.

Export quality

Export at up to 4K on phones that support it, and choose the frame rate. Lower settings make smaller files that are quicker to share in chat apps.

Tips for cleaner InShot edits

Set the Canvas shape first, before adding text or stickers, so nothing ends up cut off when you change the frame later. When you add a voice-over, lower the music track's volume so your voice stays clear. Export at 1080p for social media unless you specifically need 4K; files are smaller and upload faster. And keep your original clips in your gallery, since InShot projects reference those files.

How to install InShot APK on Android

The easiest option is InShot on Google Play. Without Play Store, install the official app carefully.

1. Check your phone runs Android 8.0 or newer.
2. Get the app only from Google Play or InShot's official site. "InShot Pro unlocked" files aren't official.
3. If you downloaded the file from APKPeer, check that the SHA-256 matches the one on this page. We currently link to Google Play only, so there's no APKPeer file for InShot.
4. Open the APK and allow your browser or file manager to Install unknown apps when Android asks.
5. Tap Install, open InShot, and allow access to your photos and videos so you can import clips.
6. Turn off the install permission under Settings → Apps → Special app access → Install unknown apps.

Is InShot APK safe?

The official InShot app is safe. It's published on Google Play by InShot Video Editor, rated Everyone, and has been updated regularly for more than ten years.

Know the business model before you start. Google Play marks the app as containing ads, and free exports carry a small watermark. You can remove the watermark for one video by watching an ad, or buy InShot Pro, with in-app purchases listed from $0.99 to $199.99 per item. InShot needs access to your photos and videos to edit them, which you can review under Settings → Apps → InShot → Permissions.

Modified "InShot Pro" APKs are common on download sites. They aren't made by InShot, they're a frequent source of adware, and they stop getting updates and bug fixes. APKPeer only links to the official app.

InShot vs alternatives

• CapCut has more advanced tools, trend templates and auto captions, with no ads in the free version. It takes a little longer to learn.
• invideo creates whole videos from a text prompt with AI. It's a different approach, aimed at people without their own footage, and it needs Android 11 or newer.
• Canva combines simple video editing with graphics and templates, which suits social media posts that mix images and video.

If you want the simplest way to trim, add music and resize a clip on your phone, InShot is a reliable pick. It's also a good first editor: once you outgrow it, the skills carry over to more advanced apps.
