How to get more storage on CapCut

CapCut is one of the most popular video editing apps, offering a range of tools and effects to create stunning videos. However, as you add more projects and files to your app, you may start to run into storage issues.

If you're running out of space and need to free up more memory, follow these tips to manage and optimize storage in CapCut.

How to free up space on Capcut

Delete old projects and media

Sometimes storage is consumed by projects and media that are no longer needed. Review your old projects and delete those that are no longer useful.

To delete a CapCut project on your cell phone, follow these steps:

1. Open CapCut;
2. Go to the Edit tab;
3. Swipe to the Projects screen;
4. Click on the three dots next to the project you want to remove and select “Move to Trash”.

To delete a project from the CapCut cloud, do this:

1. Open CapCut;
2. Go to the Edit tab;
3. Swipe to the Projects screen;
4. On the Projects side, click on the “Space” icon;
5. On the next screen, choose the Space you want to access;
6. Select the photo, audio, or video you want to remove and tap “Move to Trash.”

Clear Application Cache

App cache can accumulate temporary data that takes up space. To clear the cache, go to your device’s settings, find the apps section, select CapCut, and tap “Clear Cache.” This will free up space without deleting your important data.

Use External Storage

If your device supports external storage, such as a microSD card, consider moving it there. In CapCut, you can adjust the storage location of your projects to the SD card in the app settings.

Export and Archive Completed Projects

For projects you’d like to keep but don’t use often, export them as video files or backups and store them on a cloud service or external storage. This frees up space in the app while keeping your projects accessible.

Manage Your Media

Check and remove media that has been imported but not used. In CapCut, you can access the media gallery, view files that are no longer needed, and remove them.

Update the App

Make sure you're using the latest version of CapCut. Updates often include storage management improvements and bug fixes that can help optimize space usage.

Restart the Device

Sometimes, restarting your device can help free up cache space and improve app performance. Try restarting your device and check if that helps free up storage.

By following these tips, you can better manage your CapCut storage and ensure your app continues to run smoothly while you create and edit amazing videos.
