# lossless-cut vs payload

lossless-cut and payload share 9 technologies: Vite, React, dnd-kit, TanStack, sharp, csv-parse, csv-stringify, file-type, and Zod. Both are written in TypeScript.

- [mifi/lossless-cut](https://seerepo.com/r/mifi/lossless-cut): The swiss army knife of lossless video/audio editing
- [payloadcms/payload](https://seerepo.com/r/payloadcms/payload): Payload is the open-source, fullstack Next.js framework, giving you instant backend superpowers. Get a full TypeScript backend and admin panel instantly. Use Payload as a headless CMS or for building powerful applications.
