Clipper for YouTubers

Turn a long YouTube video into Shorts

Paste the link of a long YouTube video you own or have permission to use (paid plans), or upload the file on the free trial, choose Shorts and a length, and Clipper returns the moments with the strongest hooks, each with the reasons it could work. Export them as vertical 1080p clips with captions, ready to upload.

What Clipper does for you

  • Paste a link

    YouTube links import on paid plans; for very long videos, import just a section by start and end time.

  • Lengths that fit Shorts

    Choose 15 to 30, 30 to 60 or 60 to 90 seconds, or flexible up to two minutes.

  • Hooks first

    Every pick opens on a line that works without the rest of the video, which is what keeps viewers past the first seconds.

  • Ready to upload

    1080 × 1920 with burned-in captions, framed on whoever is talking.

How it works

  1. 1

    Paste the YouTube link (paid plans) or upload the video file.

  2. 2

    Choose YouTube Shorts and a clip length.

  3. 3

    Review the moments and preview the ones you like.

  4. 4

    Export and upload to your channel, with a title that matches the hook.

Good to know

  • Clipper does not upload to YouTube for you yet.
  • Importing depends on YouTube and can occasionally fail; uploading the file always works. Only use videos you own or have permission to use.

Questions

How long can a YouTube Short be?

Up to three minutes. Clipper's longest setting is flexible clips up to two minutes; most Shorts that hold attention are well under a minute.

Is there a free YouTube to Shorts converter without a watermark?

Clipper's free trial adds a small watermark and works from uploaded files; paid plans import links and export without a watermark.

Will re-cut Shorts from my own video get reach?

Shorts from your own long videos are fine. YouTube reduces reach for Shorts re-uploaded from other creators without anything added, so only clip others' videos with permission and add something of your own.
