PixLab Video Editor Is Live: Edit Videos Online in Your Browser

PixLab Video Editor is now live at video.pixlab.io

enter image description here

If you need a fast online video editor for short-form content, social clips, subtitles, text overlays, and quick exports, PixLab Online Video Editor is built for that workflow. The app runs directly in the browser, keeps the editing experience simple, and gives creators a practical way to open a video, make edits, and export without installing desktop software.

Why We Built PixLab Video Editor

Most people do not want a bloated editing workflow. They want to:

  1. Open a video
  2. Trim, split, and rearrange clips
  3. Add captions or text overlays
  4. Export to a web-friendly format

That is the core problem PixLab Video Editor is solving.

PixLab is designed as a browser video editor for creators publishing to:

  • Instagram Reels
  • Instagram Stories
  • YouTube Shorts
  • TikTok-style vertical videos
  • Product demos
  • Marketing videos
  • Fast social content

What You Can Do in PixLab Video Editor

PixLab already includes the editing features most users need for modern short-form production:

1. Edit Video Online Without Installing Software

PixLab works as an online video editor directly in the browser. You can launch the app here:

Open PixLab Video Editor

This makes it useful for fast edits, lightweight workflows, and teams that want a simple editing environment without a traditional desktop setup.

2. Trim, Split, and Arrange Clips on a Timeline

The editor includes a timeline built for practical editing:

  • clip trimming
  • split at playhead
  • track-based editing
  • markers
  • in/out range selection
  • timeline zoom

For creators editing short videos, that matters more than a complicated interface.

3. Add Captions, Subtitles, and Text Overlays

Captions and text are central to social video. PixLab supports:

  • text overlays
  • styled caption blocks
  • subtitle workflows
  • SRT import and export
  • text animation presets
  • custom font uploads
  • direct on-canvas text positioning

This makes PixLab Video Editor a strong fit for anyone searching for an online subtitle editor or caption editor for short videos.

4. Customize Text for Social Content

Text overlays are not limited to plain title cards. You can create:

  • lower thirds
  • callout banners
  • subtitle cards
  • speech bubble styles
  • bold headline text
  • branded overlays with custom fonts

If your audience watches with sound off, this is one of the most important parts of the product.

5. Export to MP4 or WebM

PixLab supports export for common web workflows, including:

  • MP4 export
  • WebM export
  • range-based export

That makes it suitable for creators looking for an MP4 video editor online or a WebM video editor in the browser.

Built for Modern Short-Form Video Editing

PixLab Video is intentionally focused on the workflows people use every day:

  • edit vertical video fast
  • add subtitles for retention
  • place text on screen for hooks and CTAs
  • make small corrections without a heavyweight editor
  • export content quickly for publishing

For many creators, that is enough to replace a much slower toolchain.

Who PixLab Is For

PixLab Video Editor is a practical fit for:

  • content creators
  • social media managers
  • founders making product clips
  • marketers producing ad creatives
  • agencies editing short-form client videos
  • educators creating captioned explainers

If you need a video editor for Instagram Reels, video editor for YouTube Shorts, or a browser-based subtitle editor, PixLab is aimed directly at that use case.

What Makes PixLab Different

PixLab focuses on the core editing loop instead of trying to do everything at once.

That means:

  • cleaner workflow
  • faster start
  • browser-first editing
  • practical export formats
  • strong text and caption tooling
  • short-form friendly interface

The goal is not to overwhelm users with complexity. The goal is to help them ship content faster.

  • timeline editing
  • subtitles
  • text overlays
  • caption styling
  • custom fonts
  • MP4 and WebM export

Introducing fio.js 3.0: A Quantum Leap in Facial Authentication UX & Performance

FACEIO Landing

At FACEIO, we believe that security shouldn't come at the cost of user experience. Today, we are thrilled to announce the immediate availability of fio.js 3.0, a massive overhaul of our client-side facial authentication widget.

This update isn't just a patch; it is a complete reimagining of how users interact with biometric security in the browser. We’ve rebuilt the rendering engine, polished the UI to a mirror shine, and hardened our security heuristics—all while handing more control back to developers.

Here is what’s new in version 3.0.

1. Intelligent Visual Guidance & Responsive UX

The days of ambiguous, static loading screens are over. We have introduced a new Smart Focus System designed to guide users intuitively.

  • Active Engagement: If a user looks away or the face isn't clearly visible, the interface gently transitions into a "Searching" mode to signal that the system is active but waiting for input.
  • Dynamic Feedback: A smooth, animated scanning effect cycles through calming colors (Green, Cyan, Sky Blue, and Orange) to guide the user's attention back to the camera frame without being startling.
  • Modern Visual Cues: We’ve replaced standard bounding boxes with stylish Neon Tech Brackets that glow and change color to provide instant, clear feedback on proximity and recognition status.

2. Enhanced User Freedom: The showAbortBtn Parameter

We understand that sometimes, a user might start an enrollment process and decide to stop halfway through. To improve user agency, we've introduced the showAbortBtn parameter.

  • Total Control: By setting showAbortBtn: true in your enroll() configuration, you can choose to make the close (X) button visible throughout the entire interaction.
  • Graceful Exit: If a user clicks this button, the operation terminates immediately, and the Promise is rejected with the specific fioErrCode.ABORTED_BY_USER (Error Code documented here).
  • Better Flow: This allows your application to handle voluntary cancellations distinctively from timeouts or network errors, enabling smooth UI transitions back to your main app.

3. Glassmorphism & Typography Overhaul

The UI has received a significant facelift to match modern design trends:

  • Glassmorphism Notifications: Status messages (like "Move Closer" or "Look at Camera") now float in elegant, semi-transparent glass bubbles with neon accents.
  • Crisp Typography: We've standardized on the Montserrat font family for all canvas elements, ensuring legibility and a consistent brand look across devices.
  • Haptic Feedback: On supported mobile devices, users now feel a subtle vibration when interacting with the PIN pad, adding a tactile layer to the digital experience.

4. 60 FPS Buttery Smooth Rendering

We have completely decoupled the Detection Logic from the Rendering Loop.

  • Throttled Detection: Heavy WASM (WebAssembly) detection now runs at an optimized ~25 FPS to save CPU cycles.
  • High-Speed UI: The visual interface renders at a native 60 FPS.
  • The Result: No more lag or stuttering, even on older mobile devices. The video feed remains fluid while the AI does the heavy lifting in the background.

5. Smart "Virtual Camera" Detection

Security is paramount. fio.js 3.0 introduces a new Heuristic Scoring System to detect presentation attacks. It analyzes frame rate patterns, and driver behaviors to block virtual cameras attempting to spoof the system, without penalizing legitimate users who have complex audio/video setups.

Coming Soon: Background Face Filtering

We are already working on the next big leap: Intelligent Multi-Face Filtering.

In busy environments (offices, coffee shops), people walking in the background often trigger "Multiple Faces Detected" errors. The upcoming update will feature a smart depth-and-focus filter that ignores background passersby and locks exclusively onto the active user in the foreground. Stay tuned!

Get Started

The new update is live and automatically available to all users pointing to our CDN. You don't need to change a single line of code to benefit from the performance upgrades, though we recommend exploring the new parameters to tailor the UX to your needs.

There has never been a better time to add facial authentication to your web application. Try out fio.js 3.0 today and give your users the secure, seamless experience they deserve.

FACEIO Just Got a Major Upgrade: Faster, Smarter, and More Resilient Than Ever

FACEIO LANDING

The FACEIO platform has just received one of its biggest updates so far focused on reliability, accuracy, and developer experience. If you’re using FACEIO to power passwordless face login, online identity verification, or biometric authentication in your web apps, this release is for you.

From a more resilient distributed infrastructure to a state-of-the-art deepfake and face anti-spoofing detector, FACEIO is now even better equipped to secure millions of users across the globe.

You can explore FACEIO on the official website at faceio.net.


Distributed, More Resilient Infrastructure

As usage keeps growing, we’ve invested heavily in our backend architecture:

  • Distributed deployment across multiple regions for higher availability
  • Automatic failover in case of localized outages
  • Optimized routing so users connect to the closest edge, improving widget responsiveness

This means your fio.js widget loads faster, enrollments are smoother, and authentication requests remain stable even under heavy traffic.

The result: you can rely on FACEIO as a critical authentication layer for production workloads, not just side projects.


Highest Accuracy Yet

Under the hood, FACEIO now leverages an improved face recognition stack with:

  • Better handling of challenging lighting conditions
  • Increased robustness to pose variations and occlusions
  • More consistent performance across diverse demographics

Combined with the existing defense-grade recognition engines and liveness features, this update pushes overall accuracy to a new level, helping reduce both false accepts and false rejects in real-world deployments.


New Deepfake & Face Anti-Spoofing Detector

Deepfakes and presentation attacks are evolving quickly. FACEIO’s new state-of-the-art anti-spoofing pipeline is designed to keep up:

  • Detects printed photos, replayed videos, and screen attacks
  • Targets emerging deepfake-style manipulations
  • Works in real time, without requiring any extra hardware on the user’s device

These capabilities extend the existing liveness detection and spoof protection already present in the SDK, offering stronger defence against modern fraud and account takeover scenarios.


Seamless Integration with AWS

Many FACEIO customers already run their apps on AWS. With this update, the integration story is even smoother:

  • Easier to build end-to-end pipelines where FACEIO handles the face authentication front, and AWS services (like Lambda, API Gateway, or other AWS components) handle your backend business logic.
  • Improved patterns for connecting FACEIO events to your AWS infrastructure (for logging, analytics, or secondary checks) or using the REST-API.

If your stack is already on AWS, FACEIO now fits even more naturally into your existing architecture.


2+ Million fio.js Widget Instantiations

FACEIO continues to grow with real-world adoption. The platform has already crossed over 2 million widget & SDK instantiations, powering authentication and verification flows on websites and apps around the world.

This scale gives us invaluable feedback to:


Worldwide Customer Adoption & Satisfaction

From startups to established enterprises, companies across multiple regions and industries trust FACEIO for:

  • Passwordless login on web apps and portals
  • Biometric authentication for internal tools
  • Online Age verification for KYC, age checks, and fraud prevention

The new release doubles down on what customers care about most: reliability, security, and ease of integration.


Still the Same Easy-to-Integrate API

Despite all the under-the-hood changes, the developer experience stays simple:

  • Add the widget with a single script tag or NPM package
  • Instantiate the faceIO object with your Application Public ID
  • Call enroll() and authenticate() from your front-end – that’s it

You can follow the official guides here:


Join the Community & Stay in the Loop

If you want to share feedback, ask implementation questions, or see what other teams are building with FACEIO:

Our team and community members are active there, helping with everything from basic integration questions to advanced deployment patterns.

If you haven’t integrated FACEIO yet, now is a great time:

  1. Visit faceio.net
  2. Create your application in the FACEIO Console
  3. Follow the Integration Guide to drop fio.js into your site
  4. Enroll your first user and experience passwordless face login live

With a more resilient distributed infrastructure, higher accuracy, cutting-edge deepfake and anti-spoof detection, AWS-friendly workflows, and millions of widget instantiations backing the platform, FACEIO is more ready than ever to secure your users with just a look.

Quick links (docs)

You’ll need an API key from the PixLab Console: https://console.pixlab.io

Also available for content creatros in the popular apps suite namely:


1) Image Text Translation API (imgtranslate)

Translate text inside the image, preserve layout, and output the same image with replaced text. Supports English ↔ 10 languages and English/Chinese ↔ other languages; auto-detect is available when you’re unsure of the source. Endpoint: https://api.pixlab.io/imgtranslate.

JS example (POST upload)

<input type="file" id="imgFile" />
<script>
const API_KEY = 'PIXLAB_API_KEY';
const API_URL = 'https://api.pixlab.io/imgtranslate';

async function translateImage(target = 'en', source = 'auto') {
  const file = document.getElementById('imgFile').files?.[0];
  if (!file) return alert('Select an image first');

  const form = new FormData();
  form.append('file', file);
  form.append('key', API_KEY);
  form.append('target', target);
  form.append('source', source);

  const res = await fetch(API_URL, { method: 'POST', body: form });
  const out = await res.json();

  if (out.status !== 200) {
    console.error(out.error);
    return;
  }

  const bytes = atob(out.imgData);
  const buf = new Uint8Array([...bytes].map(c => c.charCodeAt(0)));
  const blob = new Blob([buf], { type: out.mimeType });
  const a = Object.assign(document.createElement('a'), {
    href: URL.createObjectURL(blob),
    download: `translated.${out.extension}`
  });
  document.body.appendChild(a); a.click(); a.remove();
}
</script>

2) Image Embedding API (imgembed)

Generate high-dimensional vectors (CLIP, etc.) for similarity search, clustering, or retrieval. Simple GET with image, model, key or POST with file. Endpoint: https://api.pixlab.io/imgembed.

JS example (GET by URL)

const API_KEY = 'PIXLAB_API_KEY';
const imageUrl = 'https://i.imgur.com/0Qe9rWZ.jpg';
const model = 'clip';

const url = new URL('https://api.pixlab.io/imgembed');
url.searchParams.set('image', imageUrl);
url.searchParams.set('model', model);
url.searchParams.set('key', API_KEY);

const res = await fetch(url);
const out = await res.json();

if (out.status !== 200) {
  console.error(out.error);
} else {
  console.log('dim:', out.vector.length, 'sample:', out.vector.slice(0, 8));
}

3) Text & Watermark Removal API (txtremove)

Programmatically remove overlaid text/watermarks while preserving content. POST with file or GET with img. Endpoint: https://api.pixlab.io/txtremove.

Important use policy: do not use this endpoint to remove watermarks or branding from copyrighted material you don’t own or have rights to; doing so violates the Terms and may result in account suspension. You’re responsible for legal compliance.

JS example (POST upload)

<input type="file" id="wmFile" />
<button id="removeTextButton">Remove</button>
<script>
const API_KEY = 'PIXLAB_API_KEY';
const API_URL = 'https://api.pixlab.io/txtremove';

async function removeText() {
  const file = document.getElementById('wmFile').files?.[0];
  if (!file) return alert('Select an image first');

  const form = new FormData();
  form.append('file', file);
  form.append('key', API_KEY);

  const res = await fetch(API_URL, { method: 'POST', body: form });
  const out = await res.json();

  if (out.status !== 200) return console.error(out.error);

  const bytes = atob(out.imgData);
  const buf = new Uint8Array([...bytes].map(c => c.charCodeAt(0)));
  const blob = new Blob([buf], { type: out.mimeType });
  const a = Object.assign(document.createElement('a'), {
    href: URL.createObjectURL(blob),
    download: `clean.${out.extension}`
  });
  document.body.appendChild(a); a.click(); a.remove();
}
document.getElementById('removeTextButton')?.addEventListener('click', removeText);
</script>

4) Background Removal API (bgremove)

Isolate the subject and drop the background—great for product images, creative apps, and bulk pipelines. POST with file or GET with image. Endpoint: https://api.pixlab.io/bgremove.

JS example (GET by URL)

const API_KEY = 'PIXLAB_API_KEY';
const url = new URL('https://api.pixlab.io/bgremove');
url.searchParams.set('image', 'https://i.imgur.com/0Qe9rWZ.jpg');
url.searchParams.set('key', API_KEY);

const res = await fetch(url);
const out = await res.json();

if (out.status !== 200) {
  console.error(out.error);
} else {
  console.log('result:', out.link ?? out.imgData.slice(0, 64) + '...');
}

Works out-of-the-box in PixLab apps
