About Cutlines
Cutlines is a free tool that does one thing: it turns a phrase into a text match cut video you can post on TikTok, Reels and Shorts.Why it exists
Text match cuts look simple but are slow to make by hand: dozens of pages, each one aligned so the highlight sits on exactly the same pixels. Most online tools that automate it ask for an account, add a watermark or render on a server. Cutlines does the whole job in your browser in a few seconds.
How it works
- Each page is drawn on an HTML canvas with its own typeface, paper and layout.
- The highlight is anchored to a fixed position, so it never moves between cuts.
- Cut sounds are synthesised with the Web Audio API.
- The canvas and sound are recorded with the browser's built-in MediaRecorder into MP4 or WebM.
- Nothing you type is uploaded. There is no account and no server-side rendering.
How it is funded
Cutlines is free to use. To cover hosting it may show a small number of clearly labelled ads from Google AdSense, placed between sections of the page and never inside the editor. See the privacy policy for details.
