Generate YouTube Shorts from long videos in just a few clicks
Grow your channel with YouTube Shorts created automatically from your existing videos. AI scans your video, detects the most engaging highlights, trims them into 60-second vertical videos, and prepares them for direct upload. Customize each clip with captions, translations, layouts, or branding to make them stand out. You can generate multiple Shorts from one long video, keeping your channel active with daily posts. Since the algorithm prioritizes YouTube Shorts, this is one of the easiest ways to boost visibility, gain subscribers, and expand your reach.
Personalize every clip
Easily customize your AI Clips with a powerful built-in editor that keeps every video on-brand. Choose style presets or switch layouts, spotlight speakers or edit by text, and add logos, captions, or B-roll footage. Every clip comes polished and ready to match your brand and captivate your audience.
One-click publishing
Post your clips straight to YouTube Shorts in one click. Use multiposting to share them across TikTok, Facebook Reels, LinkedIn, and X simultaneously. Prefer another platform? Download your Shorts and upload them manually to reach more viewers.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I turn a video into a YouTube Short?
Upload your video, and AI trims it into a vertical, under-60-second clip optimized for YouTube Shorts. You can add captions, branding, or layouts to make each Short more engaging.
Can I create multiple Shorts from one video?
Yes, AI can generate several Shorts from a single long recording so that you can post consistently. This helps keep your channel active and gives you more opportunities to grow your audience.
What types of videos work best with AI Clips?
AI Clips works best with videos with spoken content, such as podcasts, webinars, interviews, or live streams with commentary. Since the AI relies on speech to detect highlights, it may not perform well with silent recordings, music-only streams, or gameplay without talking. For best results, use videos where conversation or narration is central.
