Cliplia
YouTube to Shorts

Turn your YouTube videos into Shorts with captions

Paste your video link and Cliplia finds the best moments, makes them vertical and adds captions. No downloading hours of video and no manual editing.

From a link to your Shorts

  1. Paste the link

    Copy your YouTube video URL. Before you start, you will see the title, the length and what it will cost.

  2. We analyze the audio

    Only the audio is transcribed first to find the best parts. It is faster and cheaper than processing the whole video.

  3. Only the parts you need are downloaded

    Once you choose your clips, just the video section you need is fetched, not the full video.

  4. Edit and publish

    Adjust the vertical framing and captions, then export it or publish it to your channel.

Why repurpose your long videos

A long video usually holds several ideas that work on their own: an explanation, a story, a clear answer. Turning them into Shorts gives you more to publish without filming anything new, and it leads viewers back to the full video.

The heavy lifting is finding those parts and adapting them to vertical. Cliplia automates that side and leaves the creative decisions to you: which clips you like, how they look and when they go out.

What it does for you

  • Finds candidate moments from the transcript
  • Reframes from horizontal to 9:16 vertical
  • Adds animated captions you can edit word by word
  • Suggests titles, descriptions and hashtags
  • Publishes to YouTube, TikTok, Instagram and Facebook, or exports the file

Clear costs before you start

Everything runs on credits, and you never need AI keys of your own. Before creating a project you see how many credits it will cost based on length and number of clips, and you can lower them to fit your balance. With a very long video, you do not pay to process hours you will never use.

We only process content you own or are authorized to use. YouTube's protections and access restrictions are never bypassed.

Frequently asked questions

Do I need to download the video first?

No. Pasting the link is enough. You can also upload the file if you already have it on your computer.

Does it work with finished YouTube live streams?

Yes, as long as the stream is still available as a video. For streams in progress, use Live Clipper.

Can I use videos from other channels?

Only if they are yours or the creator has given you permission. Having that authorization is your responsibility.
