Turn your YouTube videos into YouTube Shorts

How it works
- 1
Paste your YouTube link
Drop in any video, long or short, or a livestream. A two-hour upload is fine. Cliphi watches the whole thing and finds the moments worth posting.
- 2
AI finds and reframes the moment
Cliphi scores each moment on how likely it is to travel, then crops the best ones to vertical and keeps whoever is talking in frame.
- 3
Post to YouTube Shorts
Each clip comes out vertical and inside the Shorts length limit, with captions on screen and a title and description written for you. Publish from Cliphi or download it.
Any length, any topic
Podcasts, interviews, tutorials, gameplay, vlogs. Paste a long video and Cliphi pulls a batch of clips out of it, each one ready to post.
Speakers stay in frame
Active speaker detection follows whoever is talking and cuts between people, so interviews and panels look edited rather than cropped.
Keeps working after you post
A written title and description help a Short get found in search and on the Shorts shelf, so it can keep pulling views weeks later instead of dying in a day.
Made with Cliphi
Real clips, real reach, published to YouTube Shorts, Instagram Reels, and Facebook Reels.
Get a week of clips out of one YouTube video
Most channels are sitting on a back catalogue of long videos that never get a second life. Each upload has a handful of moments that would do well as a short, but finding them means scrubbing the whole thing, then cropping to vertical, cutting between speakers, and captioning each clip by hand. That is hours of work for content you already made, so it usually does not happen.
Cliphi does that pass for you. Paste any YouTube link, long or short, and it watches the whole video, scores the moments most likely to travel, and turns the best ones into finished vertical clips. You are choosing from a ranked shortlist instead of guessing which forty seconds to cut. Captions track the speech, the framing follows whoever is talking, and a music bed gets matched to the moment.
It works on livestreams too, and can process them in real time, so a highlight from a live broadcast can go out while the stream is still running. One long video turns into a steady run of posts for TikTok, Reels, and Shorts, without re-editing anything.
Sized for the Shorts shelf
Shorts has its own rules. A clip has to be vertical and under three minutes, and the first couple of seconds decide whether someone watches or swipes away. Cliphi opens on the moment, keeps the framing tall, and burns in captions so the clip reads even on mute.
YouTube leans on text more than other platforms, so Cliphi writes a title and a description too. That matters because a Short can show up in search and on the shelf long after you post it, and it sits right next to your long-form videos, which makes it an easy way to send people back to the full upload.
Shorts also leans on volume, so a batch of clips from one upload gives you something to post most days without filming anything new. And because the export is clean with no watermark, it does not get quietly pushed down as a repost.
