Version 7.x Series
The earliest MOD builds of CapCut around the 7.x range were quite simple. They mainly focused on removing watermarks from exported videos. At this stage, MOD developers did not unlock every premium feature, but they provided a lighter experience than the stock app. People chose these versions because they worked well on low-end Android phones and gave freedom to export without brand markings.
Version 8.x Series
As the app grew in popularity, MOD CapCut versions in the 8.x line started unlocking more functions. Users could access a larger selection of templates, fonts, and effects that were otherwise locked behind subscriptions. The 8.x builds were also known for being stable and lightweight, which made them a favourite for beginners in video editing.
Version 9.x Series
The 9.x MOD builds introduced smoother performance and fewer crashes compared to earlier releases. These versions refined the interface, making editing faster. Some MOD developers began adding ad-free experiences during this phase, so users could edit without interruptions. For many, the 9.x builds were the sweet spot between simplicity and extra features.
Version 10.x Series
By the 10.x era, MOD versions started offering real premium-like experiences. Users reported unlocked music libraries, premium transitions, and even access to some AI-driven text effects. These builds gave editors more creative control and resembled what paid CapCut subscriptions provided. The 10.x MODs became popular among content creators on TikTok and Instagram.
Version 11.x Series
The 11.x MOD series pushed boundaries by unlocking multi-layer editing, better keyframe controls, and extra text animations. Many users upgraded to these builds because they supported higher resolution exports, sometimes even experimenting with 2K. For editors who needed flexibility without a subscription, this version was a milestone.
Version 12.x Series
The 12.x builds of MOD CapCut focused on speed improvements. They handled larger projects without freezing as often. MOD developers also unlocked template packs and allowed free use of premium stickers. Many users stayed with these builds because they offered a balance of stability and premium features.
Version 13.x Series
In the 13.x MOD releases, access to a wider music library was unlocked. This meant editors could use songs that were normally paid. MODs also enabled exclusive filters and cinematic colour presets, making short videos look more polished. Creators who focused on aesthetic editing preferred these builds.
Version 14.x Series
The 14.x MOD builds became known for smoother exports and support for larger video files. Editing multiple clips with effects was easier, thanks to unlocked layer tools. Some MOD developers even included options to bypass region restrictions on certain templates. These versions were a favourite for users making professional-style edits.
Version 15.x Series
The most recent older builds, in the 15.x line, aimed to replicate the CapCut Premium plan completely. MODs in this stage included 4K export, AI caption tools, text-to-speech voices, and unlocked pro transitions. For many, the 15.x MOD versions were the closest thing to having a paid subscription without paying.
