Free Online Video Stabilizer

Reduce camera shake and jitter in handheld or action footage. Uses a two-pass motion analysis to detect and smooth unwanted movement. Everything runs in your browser — your video never leaves your device.

This tool uses FFmpeg’s deshake filter — a traditional motion-correction algorithm that works well on moderate shake and jitter. For severely shaky footage or professional results, Corel VideoStudio uses advanced optical flow stabilization that handles far more aggressive shake.

How to stabilize a video online

1
Upload your video
Drop in your shaky video file. MP4, WebM, MOV, AVI and MKV are all supported. Shorter clips process faster — if you only need part of the video stabilized, trim it first with the Video Trimmer.
2
Set shakiness and smoothing
Choose how shaky your footage is — this helps the motion detector find the right movements to correct. Then set smoothing strength: higher smoothing produces steadier output but crops more of the frame edges to compensate for movement.
3
Wait for two-pass processing
Stabilization runs in two passes: first it analyzes motion across every frame to build a motion model, then it applies corrections. This takes longer than most tools — expect 1–3 minutes for a 30-second clip depending on your device.
4
Download and compare
Download the stabilized video and compare it with the original. If the result isn’t smooth enough, try again with a higher shakiness level or stronger smoothing.

Frequently asked questions

Why does my output video have black bars or look cropped?

Stabilization works by shifting each frame slightly to compensate for unwanted movement. Those shifts expose the edges of the frame, which would otherwise show black borders. The deshake filter automatically crops the output to remove these borders, which is why stabilized video is slightly zoomed in compared to the original. Higher smoothing strength = more shift compensation needed = more crop. This is unavoidable with any stabilization approach.

Why does stabilization take so much longer than other tools?

Most tools (trim, mute, compress) process video in a single pass. Stabilization requires two full passes over the entire video — one to analyze motion across every frame and build a motion model, and a second to apply the corrections. On a 30-second 1080p clip that means analyzing and processing thousands of frames twice. The longer the clip and the higher the resolution, the longer it takes.

What’s the difference between shakiness and smoothing?

Shakiness tells the motion detector how large the movements to look for are. Set it too low and it misses large shakes; set it too high on steady footage and it may incorrectly "correct" intentional camera movement. Smoothing controls how aggressively the corrections are applied — low smoothing makes small adjustments with minimal crop, high smoothing produces very steady output but crops more of the frame.

Will this fix very shaky footage from running or sports?

The deshake filter used here is a traditional 2D translation-based algorithm — it works well on moderate shake like handheld walking footage, slight wobble, or minor jitter. Very aggressive shake from running, fast sports, or extreme action is beyond what browser-based stabilization can fully correct. For that level of shake, a desktop tool with optical flow stabilization (DaVinci Resolve’s Gyroflow, or Corel VideoStudio’s stabilizer) will produce significantly better results.

Is my video uploaded to a server?

No — everything runs locally in your browser using WebAssembly (FFmpeg.wasm). Your video never leaves your device and no data is stored or transmitted anywhere.

Which browsers are supported?

The Video Stabilizer works in any modern browser supporting WebAssembly and SharedArrayBuffer: Chrome 92+, Edge 92+, Firefox 90+, and Safari 15.2+.
