YouTube to Shorts

Turn a YouTube video into Shorts
in minutes

Paste a YouTube link. The AI finds the strongest moments, cuts each into a vertical clip with animated captions, and you trim and fix words before you export. It also writes the title, description and tags for TikTok, Reels and Shorts.

AN EXAMPLE

A hook for the first seconds

and that's why the first three seconds decide everything

Moments

  • 0:04 Zoom in
  • 0:09 Sticker
  • 0:15 Zoom in
An example of what polish adds to a clip: a title card over the first seconds, a sticker, a zoom and coloured key words.

How it works

  1. 1

    Paste the link

    Paste your YouTube link in AI Clipping, or upload the video file. The AI listens to the whole video.

  2. 2

    Choose how many clips

    Pick a number of clips. Add a line like "the tips" if you want the AI to look for something first.

  3. 3

    Edit, then export

    Each clip comes with a score and the reason it was picked. Trim it, fix a word, add a hook, then export it vertical for Shorts, TikTok or Reels.

What you get from one video

The strongest moments, with a reason

Each clip has a score and a short note on why it was picked, so you can choose the ones worth posting.

Vertical, with captions

Clips are reframed to 9:16 and get animated captions. Click a word in the transcript to fix it, and pick a caption style.

A hook, stickers and zooms

The AI can write a hook title for the first seconds and add stickers and quick zooms from what is said. Edit any of it.

Words for each platform

The Post screen writes a title, a description and tags for YouTube, and captions for TikTok and Instagram, in the language of your video. You edit them, then post yourself.

Good to know

  • AI Clipping needs spoken words in the video. It works on a YouTube link or a video file you upload.
  • Use videos you made, or have permission to use. Clip-Short does not check who owns a video, and nobody can promise views.
  • You post the clips yourself. Clip-Short does not post for you; on a phone the share sheet sends the file to the app.
  • Free to try. The free plan includes 60 minutes of video processing a month and puts a small watermark on exports. Paid plans have more minutes and no watermark.

Questions about YouTube to Shorts

How do I turn a YouTube video into Shorts?

Paste the video's link in AI Clipping. The AI finds the strongest moments and cuts each into a vertical clip with captions. You edit the clips and export them.

Can I use any YouTube video?

Use videos you made, or have permission to use. Clip-Short does not check who owns a video, and cutting other people's videos can break their rights.

How many clips do I get?

You choose. You can ask for more clips later, or trim and change any clip by hand.

Does it add captions?

Yes. Captions are written from what is said, animated, and you can fix any word and change the style.

Does it post the Shorts for me?

No. You post them yourself. The Post screen writes the title, description and tags to paste into each platform.

Is it free?

Yes, to try. The free plan includes 60 minutes of video processing a month and adds a small watermark. A paid plan removes the watermark and gives more minutes.
