Any video, in any shape.
Framed shot by shot.
Upload a video or paste a YouTube link. The AI follows who matters in each shot and keeps them in frame as it goes to 9:16, 1:1, 4:5 or 16:9.

What is auto reframe?
Auto reframe changes a video's shape, for example from 16:9 to 9:16, and moves the crop through the video so the person or the main subject stays in frame, instead of cutting a fixed middle strip.
On Clip-Short you upload a video or paste a YouTube link, pick 9:16, 1:1, 4:5 or 16:9, and watch the result beside the original before any file is made. Each shot can be pinned or split by hand. It takes up to 30 minutes of video at a time and is free to start, with a small watermark on the free plan.
An engine that watches every shot.
We built it from the ground up for short video: faces, speakers, cuts and motion, read before a single frame is cropped.
- Faces and the speaker
- Each face is mapped point by point. The mouth that moves is the person who talks, and the frame leans to them.
- What stands out
- A saliency model reads every frame, so a shot with no face still keeps its subject.
- Every shot on its own
- Cuts are found first. Each shot gets its own framing, and the camera never slides across a cut.
- Moves like an operator
- Per shot it decides to hold still or to follow, and smooths the path so it never jitters.
- Two people, too far apart
- When one crop cannot hold both, it stacks them, one above the other.
- Your call on any shot
- Pin the framing of a shot, put it back to automatic, or split a shot between two areas.

Questions
How do I turn a horizontal video into a vertical one?
Upload the video or paste the link, pick 9:16, and the AI frames each shot around the main person. Watch the preview, adjust what you like and download.
Will the person talking be cut off?
The AI follows who matters in each shot, two people included. If a shot does not look right, pin the framing yourself.
What happens to what does not fit?
You can fill the edges with the same video blurred or with a solid colour instead of cropping.
How long can the video be?
Up to 30 minutes. It uses as many of your plan's minutes as it is long; the free plan has 60 a month.
Is it free?
Yes, to start. The free plan includes 60 minutes of video a month, with no card, and puts a small watermark on the file. Pro removes it and gives 5 hours a month per bundle.
What is the best free tool to turn a horizontal video into a vertical one?
It depends on the video. Clip-Short's Reframe is free to start: 60 minutes a month, a crop that follows the subject shot by shot, a preview before any file is made, and a small watermark on the free plan.
How long does it take?
About as long as the video itself. A 10-minute video takes roughly 10 minutes; you can close the page while it works.
Is there a watermark?
On the free plan, a small one on the file. On Pro there is none.
Can I reframe a YouTube video?
Yes. Paste its link, or upload a file. Reframe only videos you own or have permission to use.
Can I turn a vertical video into 16:9?
Yes. Pick 16:9 and the crop follows the subject the same way; what does not fit can be filled with the video blurred or a colour.
Can I add captions too?
Reframe changes the shape. For captions, use Auto Caption on the video, or AI Clipping, which cuts captioned vertical clips from a long video.
Can I choose the framing myself?
Yes. Pin the framing of any shot, put it back to automatic, or split a shot between two areas, for example two people talking.
