Media.io

Overview

Media.io is built for folks who want fast results. You get tools like format conversion, background cleanup, noise control, subtitle maker, voice generator and more. You can drag and drop clips, crop, merge or throw in some stickers and text. Then export straight to TikTok, Instagram or wherever.

Upload a pic or type a short prompt and you’ll get a basic animated clip back. It also does AI upscaling, vocal remover, voice cloning, and audio cleanup. Photos can be enlarged too without trashing quality. There's also a basic video editor in the browser.

Media.io’s run by the company behind the same name. Some call it part of Wondershare’s group. Their site’s always showing updates - like new AI models, photo-to-video stuff, and video cleanup tools.

It's browser-based but has optional desktop wrappers. You just visit the site, make an account, and start editing. Free use is limited - watermarked and lower res. Paid plans open up 1080p+ export, no watermark, and stronger AI editing.

A few use cases:

• Creators can turn a still image into a short animated post with a text prompt.
• Marketers can clean up videos, add subtitles, throw on a voiceover and get it ready for ads.
• Musicians can pull vocals from tracks and use the leftover instrumentals.
• Teachers can use drag-and-drop templates to make quick explainers without needing editing skills.

There’s no install needed for the main stuff. Paid options are credit-based or monthly. A small plan is around $11.99/month for 200 credits. A bigger one gives 500 credits for $26.99. They also have monthly subs with no watermarks and better exports - around $9.99 for standard or $17.99+ for premium with extra AI functions.

You keep ownership of your files. Some say processed stuff gets wiped after 24 hours. It's not open-source and there’s no sign of a self-hosted version.
