CapCut Templates: Find, Use and Download Them (2026)

A CapCut template is a ready-made edit (cuts timed to music, effects, text and transitions) where you swap in your own photos or videos and export. You find them in the Templates tab of the CapCut mobile app, on capcut.com/template, and through "Use template in CapCut" links on TikTok. CapCut says over 400,000 new templates are published every day, and the full catalogue works best on mobile.

What a CapCut template is

Templates are edits built by approved template creators. The structure is fixed: the number of clips, their length, the music and the effects. You only choose which photos or videos fill each slot, and you can change the text.

In 2026 CapCut added Skills, which let creators save and share the style or workflow behind a template. Posting templates yourself needs approval as a template creator, and that is only open in some regions, such as the US, Brazil and parts of Southeast Asia.

Where to find CapCut templates

  • Mobile app: the Templates tab at the bottom of the screen, with a feed, categories and search.
  • TikTok: videos made from a template show a "Use template in CapCut" link that opens it in the mobile app.
  • Web gallery: capcut.com/template, with categories at capcut.com/template/{category} (for example /template/anniversary, /template/business or /template/slow-motion).
  • Keyword pages: capcut.com/explore/{keyword}, such as /explore/trending-templates or /explore/slow-motion-template, which list templates with their use counts.
  • A single template lives at capcut.com/template-detail/{name}/{id}. Share links from the app look like capcut.com/t/{code}.

Faster than a template

Make the video with AI instead

Hooked writes the hook, generates the clips with Veo 3.1, Kling or Seedance, adds captions and exports in 9:16 for TikTok, Reels and Shorts.

How to use a template on your phone

  1. 1Open CapCut and tap Templates at the bottom, or tap "Use template in CapCut" on a TikTok video.
  2. 2Browse or search, open a template and tap Use template.
  3. 3Pick the number of videos or photos it asks for and tap Preview.
  4. 4Tap a segment and choose Edit to replace or crop a clip, change the text, or open the full editor.
  5. 5Tap Export at the top right to save the video to your phone or share it to TikTok.

Using templates on desktop and web

Desktop support is limited. The Templates panel in CapCut for Mac and Windows shows a smaller set of official templates. CapCut's help says some templates are designed for mobile only and won't open on the desktop version, and TikTok template links only work in the mobile app. The web editor has a few basic built-in templates.

  1. 1Open CapCut desktop and go to the Templates panel on the left.
  2. 2Pick a template and click Use Template.
  3. 3Import your media and adjust it on the timeline.
  4. 4Click Export at the top right and choose resolution, frame rate and format.

Exporting without a watermark

  • CapCut adds a default ending clip to projects. You can delete it from the timeline before you export.
  • On the free plan, premium templates, effects and assets add a watermark when you export. Removing that watermark needs a paid plan, or replacing the premium element.
  • On desktop, CapCut's help says both free and Pro users can export at 2K or 4K up to 60fps. On mobile the options are 720p to 4K depending on your device and footage.

How trending templates surface

The Templates tab feed is personalised and depends on your region. CapCut's help notes that some templates are limited by region, so two people can see different trending lists. Templates also spread through TikTok, where each video made from one links back to it, and capcut.com shows a use count on every template.

If you want a video format rather than a specific template, Hooked makes TikTok slideshows, UGC ads and AI-generated clips from a script or prompt. It is not a template editor like CapCut.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Are CapCut templates free?

Many are. Premium templates can be used on the free plan but add a watermark on export unless you have a paid plan.

Why can't I find a template I saw on TikTok?

Some templates are limited by region, and templates designed for mobile won't open on desktop. Open the "Use template in CapCut" link on your phone with the CapCut app installed.

Can I use CapCut templates on a computer?

Only partly. CapCut desktop shows a limited set of official templates, and many community templates are mobile only.

How do I remove the CapCut ending?

Delete the default ending clip from the end of the timeline before you tap Export.

Can I make my own CapCut template?

Only as an approved template creator, and the program is open in some regions only. The US Template Creator Program pays based on how templates perform.
