InShot is a phone app. Nova Clip is a video editor that opens in your browser: Chrome on Android, or any computer. There is nothing to install and no watermark on your video. Here is how they compare, and where InShot is the better choice.
Pick Nova Clip if you want a video editor with no watermark that you can open on Android without an app, or on a computer.
Pick InShot if you edit on a phone every day, on iPhone or Android, and want an app that opens fast.
What we say about InShot comes from its own pages (see Sources), read on 12 October 2026.

Tap Import and choose videos from your gallery. If a clip is in another format, convert it to MP4 first.
Open Canvas size and pick 1080 × 1920 for Reels, Shorts and Stories, or 1080 × 1080 for a square post.
Split and delete, add text and captions, then press Export. Nova Clip asks for a free Google or email sign-in at that moment. Keep the tab open and visible until the file is ready.
In Chrome on Android, Nova Clip switches to a touch layout with tabs at the bottom, so your thumb can reach everything.
Choose the 1080 × 1920 canvas and a Reel, Short or Story fits the screen with no black bars. 1080 × 1080 is there for square posts.
Five ready text styles (Lower Third, Big Title, Subtitle, Kinetic and Neon) and stickers, which you drag where you want them.

Search free, CC-licensed music and sound effects (check each licence), or record your own voice.
