Splice Keeps Crashing

Ongoing iOS, Android Updated October 21, 2026

Quick answer

Splice crashes are usually caused by low storage, outdated iOS or app versions, long high-resolution projects, or media the app cannot read. Reboot, update, free space and convert or remove problem clips. Do not uninstall: that deletes your projects.

Most likely fix: Reboot and update.

Symptoms

Splice closes when opening a project, tapping create video, adding media or exporting.

Why it happens

  • Not enough free storage
  • Outdated iOS/Android or Splice version
  • Long videos at high frame rate or resolution
  • Files received from WhatsApp or other apps
  • A buggy app update

How to fix it

Try these in order — the most common fix is first.

  1. 1. Reboot and update

    1. Restart the phone
    2. Update iOS in Settings > General > Software Update
    3. Update Splice from the App Store or Google Play

  2. 2. Free storage

    1. Check Settings > General > iPhone Storage
    2. Free several GB, more for long projects

  3. 3. Save media locally

    1. Make sure all clips are saved on the phone, not only in iCloud
    2. Re-save files received via WhatsApp or AirDrop to the Camera Roll, or convert them

  4. 4. Simplify the project

    1. Split very long projects into shorter parts
    2. Export at a lower resolution or frame rate

  5. 5. Do not reinstall without backing up

    1. Export finished videos to the Camera Roll first
    2. Projects are stored inside the app and are lost if you delete it
