Akool

Akool is a browser-based creative suite that merges AI-driven video, image, and avatar tools into a single, approachable workspace.

How to use Akool

1. Open an account on Akool and pick the project type (video, image or avatar).
2. Upload raw footage or still shots, or start from the blank canvas if nothing is ready yet.
3. Select an editing mode: trim, face swap, lighting fix, or avatar generation.
4. Tweak colour, text, and sound, then press “Preview” to see instant changes.
5. Export in the desired resolution and share the download link with teammates or clients.

What we noticed while exploring Akool

Advantages

• Rapid workflow: The editing suite trimmed production time for our demo reel by roughly half, outpacing several paid rivals.
• Realistic avatars: Generating lifelike personas for UI and UX mock-ups felt almost effortless; skin tone and facial geometry stayed believable even after multiple tweaks.
• Beginner friendly: Clear on-screen tips steered new colleagues through their first export without outside help.
• Reliable face detection: Lighting and proportion remained consistent, so swapped faces never looked pasted on.
• Strong public feedback: A 4.7 / 5 score from 52 entries on G2 aligns with our own positive experience.

Drawbacks

• Limited collaboration tools: Real-time co-editing is missing, so teams must pass files back and forth.
• Preset library size: The sound and transition catalog is smaller than those inside heavyweight suites like Premiere or Final Cut.
• Occasional browser strain: Longer 4K clips caused one tab to freeze until we lowered the preview quality.

Our verdict

Akool helped us turn rough media into polished assets with a surprisingly gentle learning curve. While shared editing and richer preset packs would make it even better, the combination of speed, accurate face work, and convincing avatars means we will keep it in regular rotation for quick marketing pieces and presentation mock-ups.
