Best AI Image and Video Editing Tools in 2025 – Complete List

Things in the AI world change so fast that having a static list of the best tools is basically impossible.

Also, another challenge with creating such a list is that there are a plethora of AI image and video tools out there. So it’s not easy to fit them all into a single list.

What makes this list different than the others?

The list below has been created with the following two points in mind:

1. It will always be regularly updated.
2. In most cases, we will not only give the name of the tool but also give the link to watch a video that shows you how to use this tool.
3. We will restrict the total number of tools to the bare minimum for both the categories (image and video). If a new AI tool comes in, it will take the place of an existing tool on the list. This ensures you are never overburdened with a lot of tools. You only see the best of the best.

So here we go:
