This list features seven online apps to combine videos that can help you out with your projects. Besides the merging functionality, these apps can also boast a range of editing tools. So letā€™s take a closer look at our top seven picks.

Animoto

Animoto is a handy video editing platform that enables you to create colorful presentations and slideshows. There are a lot of pre-made templates, as well as customization options within the editing dashboard. The biggest advantage of this app is the ability to create dynamic bite-sized clips in a chosen palette that can fit any type of social media. Animoto also gives you access to a huge library of stock photos, illustrations, and videos that you can use in your project without an extra fee.

The free version will put a watermark to the output file, but with a paid plan starting at $15 per month, you can get rid of the Animoto branding.

How to merge videos:

  1. Log in to Animoto or create an account.
  2. Start the project by clicking ā€œCreateā€ ā€“ ā€œStart from scratch.ā€
  3. Choose the theme and the aspect ratio for your project or skip this step, as you can do it later.
  4. Upload your files to the Media library by dragging them to the browser window.
  5. Drag the files to the bottom panel and change their order if needed.
  6. (Optional) Make other changes: add effects, transitions, text, and music.
  7. Hit the ā€œExportā€ button and download the results when the video is rendered.

Fastreel Video Merger

Fastreel Video Merger is another handy app to add videos together. Being a part of an extensive toolkit, this merger also enables you to add transitions and music, as well as change the projectā€™s aspect ratio. You can also take advantage of other Fastreelā€™s tools to add more flavor to your video: reverse and loop clips, compress and resize videos, create a split-screen or a stop-motion video, add color filters, or even embed SRT subtitles. Plus, you can pick a template that fits your idea ā€“ a promo video, a book trailer, an explainer video, etc. ā€“ and fill it with your custom footage.

There will be a watermark in your video if you use the free version, but you can remove it with a single premium plan (export of one video for $5.95) or purchase an unlimited premium plan for $9.95 per month.

How to merge videos:

  1. Log in to Fastreel or create a new account.
  2. Select the files on your computer or Dropbox and upload them. Wait for the app to process them.

  5. Download the resulting file. It will be available for 24 hours, and you will have access to it via the link provided.

ClipChamp

ClipChamp is a solid contender among the apps to put videos together. It also has powerful tools to perform more complicated editing tasks. It has an advanced editing space with a timeline, a folder that stores all uploaded files, a handy toolbar, and a collection of built-in content. There are also plenty of platform-specific ā€“ TikTok, YouTube, Instagram, Pinterest ā€“ and theme-based templates. On the downside, you cannot access all of these blows and whistles and the instrument itself unless you use Google Chrome or Microsoft Edge browsers.

The free version has a limited set of tools, but you can upgrade to a Creator ($9 per month) or Business Platinum ($29 per month) package.

How to merge videos:

  1. Create a ClipChamp account or log in using your email.
  2. Click ā€œCreate a videoā€ and then drag video files to the browser window. They will automatically go to the ā€œMy mediaā€ folder.

  4. (Optional) Make all the necessary changes: trim clips, add filters and effects, upload music, and more.
  5. Click ā€œExportā€ and choose the parameters for the output file: resolution and optimization.
  6. Click ā€œContinueā€ and wait for the video to render.
  7. Save the results to your computer or upload the video to YouTube, Dropbox, Google Drive, or social media.

Kapwing

Kapwing has even more advanced features that let you process videos almost at a professional level. It stores all of your projects in a convenient Workspace so you can access and edit them later. The service provides you with an abundance of such tools as trimming, zooming, adding text, recording a voice-over, and inserting multimedia content. You can also add plug-ins to use Unsplash, GIPHY, Pexels, and other photo-related services within the Kapwing interface. Exporting options are also worth mentioning. After the video is ready, you can share it on Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram, copy the link, or embed the video to your site.

The free version limits the size of files you can upload and the rendering speed. Pro access plans (starting at $17 per month) let you enjoy all the tools.

How to merge videos:

  1. Go to the Kapwing site, log in using your Google account and click ā€œStart editing.ā€
  2. Upload files to the editor.
  3. (Optional) Make other changes: add text, record a voice-over, insert music, apply filters, and more.
  4. (Optional) Make video adjustments: crop, zoom, change speed, etc.
  5. Click ā€œExport Video,ā€ then download the results when the video is ready.

Clideo

Š”lideo is basically a site with video editing tools, and merging is one of its features. In this regard, itā€™s very similar to Fastreel. Each tool has its own tab, and you need to go back to the main menu to choose another function. You can also use Clideo to compress files, add subtitles, cut, crop, and resize videos, change speed, and even make memes. The merger supports various formats, even not-so-popular VOB, 3GP, and WMV.

There will be a watermark in your videos if you use the free version. A monthly subscription of $9 per month removes it for good.

How to merge videos:

  1. Go to the Clideo site and click ā€œMergeā€ on the main page.
  2. Upload files from your computer, Google Drive, or Dropbox. Wait for the upload to finish.
  3. Set the necessary parameters: change aspect ratio, add a crossfade effect, upload audio or more video files.
  4. Click ā€œExportā€ and wait for the results to be ready.Ā 
  5. Download the video to your computer or transfer it to Dropbox or Google Drive.

FlexClip

FlexClip is a stylish marketing tool that works great as a video merger too. It has two convenient modes ā€“ storyboard and timeline ā€“ so you can pick the one that works for you. The wide range of tools lets you trim and crop clips, add drawn elements, music, and text, as well as choose different backgrounds for each slide. There is also an option to start your project with a template and customize it to your liking.

The free version lets you save video only in 480p resolution and with a FlexClip intro. Plans that start at $5.99 per month lets you remove the intro and upgrade the video resolution up to 1080p.

How to merge videos:

  1. Log in using your FlexClip or Google account.
  2. Click ā€œStart from scratchā€ in the top-left corner, then select the preferred mode: ā€œTimelineā€ or ā€œStoryboard.ā€ Then select the aspect ratio of your project.
  3. Go to the ā€œMediaā€ tab and upload your files.
  4. Drag the files to the storyboard/timeline editing space and trim the bits if necessary.
  5. (Optional) Add texts, decorations, music, backgrounds, and other elements.
  6. Click ā€œExportā€ and choose the resolution you want. Then click ā€œExportā€ again and wait for the results.
  7. The download will start automatically. Alternatively, you can upload the results to Dropbox or share the video on YouTube.

WeVideo

WeVideo finishes the list of top video mergers, but that doesnā€™t make it any less cool. Its interface may remind you of Sony Vegas, but it is much easier to use. The multitrack timeline lets you arrange multiple files ā€“ videos, images, and audio. You can also take advantage of transitions, frames, and overlays, insert static or dynamic titles, as well as upload soundtracks.

The free version slows down the rendering process and doesnā€™t let you save videos in Full HD. You can upgrade your plan to unlock all features; the plans start at $4.99 per month.

How to merge videos:

  1. Log in to WeVideo via a Google account or create a new one.
  2. Click ā€œCreate newā€ in the top-left corner and choose ā€œVideoā€ in the drop-down menu.
  3. Upload files to the ā€œMy mediaā€ folder.
  4. Drag the files to the timeline and arrange them on the tracks.
  5. (Optional) Adjust the project as you like, decorate it with transitions and effects.
  6. Click ā€œFinishā€ and set a title for your project.
  7. Choose a thumbnail, quality, and destination ā€“ you can save the results to your computer, Dropbox, Google Drive, Vimeo, YouTube, or any other storage.
  8. Click ā€œExportā€ and wait for the video to load.
  9. When itā€™s ready, youā€™ll get a link in an email that will let you download the resulting file.
