What is a video to shorts converter?

A video to shorts converter uses AI to analyze long-form videos and automatically extract the most engaging segments as short-form clips. Instead of manually scrubbing through hours of footage, AI watches your entire video, scores the moments, and suggests the best ones for your short.

Traditional clipping requires an editor to watch the full video, identify highlights, cut them, reformat to vertical, add captions, and export. This takes 2-4 hours per hour of footage. An AI video clipper does the first pass for you in minutes, and you review the moments it picked.

AI video clippers are used by podcasters, streamers, educators, and marketers to repurpose long content into short clips. Run the same long video again with a different length or style to get more shorts for TikTok, YouTube Shorts, and Instagram Reels.

How it works

From long-form to viral shorts in 4 steps

01

Upload your long video

Upload a video up to 100 MB. Supports MP4, MOV, and WebM.

02

AI finds the best moments

Gemini AI analyzes your entire video and picks the most engaging segments for your target length.

03

Review the moments

Browse the AI-suggested segments, ranked by importance, and remove the ones you do not want.

04

Render your short

Render one short in 9:16, 16:9, or 1:1, ready to post on TikTok, YouTube Shorts, or Reels.

AI finds every viral moment

Gemini AI watches your entire video and looks at context, emotion, and story. It looks for strong visuals, emotional peaks, key information, humor, and surprises, and skips dead air. The best moments become your short.

Auto-reformat for any platform

Frequently asked questions

What is a video to shorts converter?
A video to shorts converter is a tool that uses AI to analyze long-form videos and automatically extract the most engaging segments as short-form clips. It finds the key moments, cuts them, and joins them into one short in the format you choose, so hours of manual editing become a few minutes.
How does AI find the best clips in my video?
Our AI uses Google's Gemini model to watch your entire video. It looks at speech, visuals, emotion, humor, and surprises, and gives each moment an importance score. The best moments are suggested for your short, and you can remove any of them before rendering.
What video lengths work best?
Any video up to 100 MB works. Longer videos give the AI more moments to choose from, but they must fit in the 100 MB limit, so compress long recordings before you upload.
Can I use YouTube videos directly?
You can upload any video file you own the rights to. Upload formats are MP4, MOV, and WebM, up to 100 MB.
How many shorts can I get from one long video?
Each run makes one short of 15 seconds to 2 minutes and uses 5 credits. Run the same video again with a different length or style to get more shorts.
What platforms does it export for?
Export in vertical 9:16 for TikTok, YouTube Shorts, and Instagram Reels. You can also export in 1:1 for Instagram feed posts or 16:9 for standard YouTube.
