CapCut Alternatives for Video Speed & Resize — No App, No Account Required

CapCut is the go-to for TikTok editing, and speed changes are its most-used feature. But installing a 200MB app and creating a ByteDance account just to speed up a clip is overkill. Browser tools do uniform speed changes in seconds — no install, no account.
