Is there a free video stabilizer app without a watermark?
Yes, this one, and you don’t have to install it. It runs in your phone’s browser, costs nothing, adds no watermark and has no paid tier with the better settings locked away.

A video stabilizer app with nothing to install
Open this page on your phone, choose the shaky clip and save a steady copy back to your photos. The same presets and controls as on a computer, with no download, no subscription and no upload.

Stabilised on your device. Nothing is uploaded.
You don’t need to install a video stabilizer app. Open this page in Safari on an iPhone or Chrome on an Android phone, choose the clip from your photos, and your phone steadies it itself, with the same presets, comparison views and export settings as on a computer. Nothing is uploaded, and there’s no account, subscription, in-app purchase or watermark.
If you’d like it a tap away, add it to your home screen, as shown below; it then opens full screen like any other app. The guides further down cover what your phone can do on its own: the built-in options on iPhone and Android, Action mode for filming steadier next time, and how OIS, EIS and software stabilisation differ.

How to stabilise a video on your phone
Open the page on your phone
Go to stabilize.video in Safari on an iPhone or Chrome on Android, or tap its icon if you’ve added it to your home screen.
Choose the clip
Tap Choose a video from your phone and pick it from your photos or files. Analysis starts at once (Analysing motion…), on the phone itself.
Pick how it was filmed
Under How was it filmed?, tap Walking, Running, Vehicle or another preset, or the one marked Suggested if there is one. Adjust opens Smoothness, Zoom limit and More options.
Compare it
Set View to Split and drag the divider with your finger to see the original against the steadied clip.
Export and save it
Tap Export video, then Export video again in the sheet that opens. When it’s ready, tap Share to save it to your photos, or Download it to your files. The sound is kept.
Add it to your home screen
A home-screen icon opens the stabiliser full screen, without the browser’s address bar, like an app from the store. It still loads from the web, so you need a connection to open it, but your videos are processed on the phone as always.
iPhone and iPad
Open stabilize.video in Safari, tap the Share button, then choose Add to Home Screen and tap Add.
Android
Open stabilize.video in Chrome, tap the menu (⋮), then choose Add to home screen or Install app, whichever your version shows.
What a stabiliser app should give you
Whatever you use, on a phone or a computer, these are the things worth checking before you trust it with a clip that matters:
- A choice of how steady. One “stabilise” switch suits some clips and ruins others. Here, twelve presets cover walking, running, cars, drones, tripod-still shots and jelly, and Smoothness and Zoom limit, under Adjust on a phone, fine-tune them.
- A before and after. Split and Side by side show the original next to the result, and the line under Zoom limit says how much shake was removed and how far it zoomed in.
- Control over the crop. Full frame keeps the whole picture and fills the edges; Smart zoom crops only where it must.
- A rolling-shutter fix. Phone sensors bend fast movement; Rolling shutter straightens it.
- Your sound and your privacy. The sound is kept, the clip never leaves the phone and there’s no watermark to crop off.
Getting the best results on a phone
- Short clips suit a phone best. Long 4K clips ask a lot of its memory and processor, so for those a computer is faster and more reliable.
- Keep the page open and the screen on while it analyses and exports; a phone may pause a page in the background.
- Plug in for long clips: the work uses the phone’s processor and graphics chip hard, and the battery with them.
- Recent iPhones film in HDR by default. The steadied copy is saved as standard (SDR) video, so its colours can look slightly different from the original.
- Portrait clips stay portrait: the frame size and orientation of the original are kept.
- Blur from the original shake stays in the frames: steadying moves whole frames and can’t sharpen them.
Questions about stabiliser apps
Do I need to download anything?
No. The page loads in Safari or Chrome like any website, and your phone does the stabilising. Adding it to your home screen is optional and only creates a shortcut that opens it full screen.
Which phones does it work on?
Recent iPhones with an up-to-date Safari, and Android phones with a recent Chrome. It relies on the browser’s built-in video encoding and graphics features, which older phones and browsers may lack; if a clip won’t open, a computer is the fallback.
How do I save the steady video to my photos?
On an iPhone, tap Share after the export and choose Save Video, and it appears in Photos. On Android, Download saves it to your Downloads folder, where your gallery and Files apps can find it, or Share sends it straight to an app.
Will it drain my battery?
A long clip uses a fair amount, because analysing and exporting keep the processor and graphics chip busy. A short clip barely registers. For long or 4K footage, plug in or use a computer.
Is a store app better than a browser app?
Not for this job. A store app can read the phone’s gyroscope while you film, which helps only with footage it recorded itself. For a clip you already have, both have to measure the shake from the picture, and the browser runs on the same processor and graphics chip a store app would.
