Gemini app adding CapCut's video and image editing tools

A new partnership between Gemini and CapCut means the video and image editing suite will be integrating some of its tools into Google’s AI assistant app, but it’s unclear what that might look like.

CapCut says users will be able to edit pictures and videos using its own tools through the Gemini app. The company did not specify what level of editing tools would be made available, or to what extent, in the post on Twitter/X. The partnership also doesn’t have a concrete launch date – it will simply happen “soon.”

The video and image editing suite has its own set of features and has even ventured into AI editing within the last year, to be rivaled most recently by Instagram’s new “Edits” app. The app touts AI design and image generation using some of its own models. This isn’t the first partnership with Google, either.

At the end of 2025, Google Photos’ recap featured a shortcut for users to “edit with CapCut” after the photos had stopped rolling. Photos would then be exported to the app with exclusive Google Photos templates.

The surrounding details regarding CapCut’s latest partnership with Google are unclear, such as what editing tools and whether an active subscription, for either service, will be required.
