Clipchamp keeps freezing or crashing on Windows 11
Use the following suggestions if Clipchamp keeps freezing or crashing on your Windows 11 computer:
- Read the hardware specifications of Clipchamp
- Use the web version of Clipchamp
- Update your browser or clear cache and cookies

These fixes are explained in detail below:
1] Read the hardware specifications of Clipchamp
It is important to read the hardware specifications for Clipchamp. If your computer hardware is not able to run Clipchamp, the software will crash repeatedly. Your computer should have at least 8 GB of RAM to run Clipchamp. However, this is the minimum memory required to run Clipchamp; 16 GB RAM or higher is better.
If your system has less than the required RAM to run Clipchamp, upgrading RAM can help fix this issue.
The desktop editor cannot be used on tablets or smartphones.
2] Use the web version of Clipchamp
If the Clipchamp app for Windows 11 crashes or freezes, you can use its web version. The web version of Clipchamp works best in Google Chrome and Microsoft Edge. However, you can also use it on another web browser.
Open your web browser and visit the official website of Clipchamp. Sign in with your account and start using Clipchamp.
3] Update your browser or clear cache and cookies
If you experience issues with the Clipchamp web version, you should try updating your web browser. In addition to this, you should also try clearing the cache and cookies of your web browser. Press the Ctrl + Shift + Delete keys to open the Clear browsing data window. Now, select cache and cookies, and click Clear Now.
4] Disable browser extensions
Disable your web browser extensions. This will tell you whether the problem is caused by an extension. If Clipchamp does not crash after disabling all the browser extensions, you need to find out the culprit. To do this, start enabling the extensions one by one and see when Clipchamp crashes. When the problem reappears, the extension you just enabled is the culprit.
5] Install Clipchamp as a web app
You can also install Clipchamp as a web app. The following steps will help you with that:
- Open Microsoft Edge.
- Visit the Clipchamp official website.
- Click on the three dots on the top right side and select Apps > Install Clipchamp.
- Click Install in the popup message to confirm the Clipchamp installation.
Now, open the Clipchamp web app on your system and sign in with the required account.
6] Free up space on your hard drive
One possible cause of the crashing or freezing issues with Clipchamp is the lack of disk space on which it is installed. Free up disk space on your C drive or the hard drive partition on which Clipchamp is installed and see if this fixes the issue. You can use the Disk Cleanup utility to delete unnecessary files on your C drive.
7] Repair or reset Clipchamp
If the Clipchamp still crashes or freezes, try to repair or reset it. The steps provided below will help you with that:
- Open Windows 11 Settings.
- Go to Apps > Installed apps.
- Locate Clipchamp, click on the three dots, and select Advanced settings.
- Click Repair to repair the Clipchamp. If this does not work, Reset the Clipchamp.
8] Reinstall Clipchamp
If none of the above-written fixes helped you, uninstalling and reinstalling the Clipchamp can help. Open Windows 11 Settings and go to Apps > Installed apps. Select Clipchamp and uninstall it.
After uninstalling the Clipchamp, restart your computer. Now, open the Microsoft Store and search for the Clipchamp app. Install it.
That’s it. I hope this helps.
