Triller alternative: cut your lip-sync takes on the beat
Updated November 1, 2026 · Written by the team that makes Stalak. Every fact about Triller on this page comes from a source listed at the bottom.
Triller’s parent company says it shut down the original Triller app and doesn’t plan to bring it back as it was. If you used Triller to turn a few takes of a song into one video cut to the music, Stalak does that job in your browser: upload your song, add your takes, and it cuts between them on the beat. It’s free, and there’s nothing to install.
What happened to Triller?
Triller launched in 2015 as a music video app. You picked a song, filmed yourself performing part of it a few times, and the app edited your takes into one clip timed to the music. You could then swap a shot for another take before sharing. Over the years, Triller grew into a social network and a media company.
In its June 2026 answers to shareholder questions, Triller Group said the legacy app had been shut down because it didn’t work economically. It added that “the strategy is not to recreate old Triller” (the company also plans to rename itself Eight Holdings). In July 2026, Digital Music News reported that Triller shut down its video-sharing app earlier in the year.
So if Triller was how you edited your videos, you need another tool for that part.

What Stalak adds
- Lyrics on screen: one line at a time for free; word-by-word and karaoke with Stalak Pro; lyrics written and synced from your vocals (Pro).
- You pick how it cuts: with the music, phrase by phrase (from Chill to Punchy), on your lines and rhymes (once your lyrics are synced), or every bar.
- A full 16:9 music video of the whole song for YouTube, with effects like flash, zoom, shake and slow-mo (Pro).
- Packs of 5 to 30 differently cut videos from one song, from just 2 takes (Creator Plus).
- Editing happens on your device, so your videos stay with you. The only exceptions: cloud projects (Creator Plus) and the audio sent for auto lyrics.
- English and French.
What Stalak doesn’t do
- It isn’t a social network: no feed, no followers. You post where your audience already is.
- There’s no song catalog: you bring your own track. For a cover, only post songs you’re allowed to use.
- There’s no app to download: Stalak runs in the browser, and you can add it to your home screen.
- Free videos carry a small Stalak logo. Watch a ~30-second ad to remove it from that video, or go Pro.
Is Stalak the right fit?
- Yes, if you made Triller videos of your own songs and want the same multi-take edit for TikTok, Reels or Shorts, with your lyrics on screen.
- Probably not, if you mainly want an app to scroll and share videos with a community, or a library of licensed songs to lip-sync to.
How to make a Triller-style video with Stalak
- Import your song (MP3, WAV, M4A, or a video’s sound) and pick the part you want to post.
- Add 2 or more takes of you performing it: videos filmed with the song playing out loud, or filmed right in Stalak.
- Pick how it cuts (Auto, On the words or Every bar), add your lyrics if you want, and export for TikTok, Reels or Shorts.
