Is CapCut safe to use?

Malware-wise, yes — official CapCut from real app stores is legitimate software used by hundreds of millions. The real considerations are different: it's owned by ByteDance (TikTok's parent), its US availability has been politically uncertain, its terms grant broad licenses over uploaded content that businesses should read, and content processes through its cloud services.

Practical guidance: for personal trend content, it's fine. For business content, client footage, or anything sensitive, prefer a tool with clearer data handling — and never sideload CapCut APKs from outside official stores, which is where actual malware lives. A browser editor like EseCut needs no install at all, which removes that entire risk class.
