free is real; Pro ~$20/mo, checkout-only generatesThe default finishing editor for TikTok-native short-form ads.
What it does for your account
Trending templates, auto-captions, and AI tools (background removal, script-to-video) make an ad look like organic TikTok content, which is half the battle on that channel, and the free tier does what most tools charge for, so your UGC creators already use it. The commercial arm, Pippit (formerly CapCut Commerce Pro), turns a product link into batches of ad videos and product images with AI avatars for TikTok Shop, Shopify, and Amazon sellers.
Best for
