How it works
Sign up free — no card
Email or Google sign-in, no credit card required. Free includes 100 coins / month (100 min of processing) with a small ClipX watermark. The number of finished clips depends on source length, pacing, and how many suggestions you choose to export.
Paste a YouTube URL you own or upload a file
Public/unlisted YouTube links you own or have rights to use work — full videos, livestreams, premieres, or compilations. You can also upload MP4, MOV, MKV, or WebM files directly, or paste links from Twitch, Vimeo, or Kick.
AI ranks the most viral moments
ClipX transcribes the audio with the host-native MLX transcription service and uses the configured LLM analysis model to score each candidate segment for hook strength, narrative arc, and platform fit. You get a ranked feed of clips — accept, edit, or skip each one.
Export or publish for free
Export each clip as MP4 with captions and face-following crop, ready to share to TikTok, Instagram Reels, YouTube Shorts, or Twitter/X via your phone's share sheet. One-tap direct publishing rolling out soon. Free tier exports include a small ClipX watermark; Pro removes it.

Frequently asked questions
Is ClipX really free? What is the catch?
Yes — free signup, no credit card. Free includes 100 coins every month (100 minutes of video processing at 1 coin per minute), refreshed automatically on the 1st. Free-tier exports include a small ClipX watermark and a branded outro, both removable on Pro (currently $14/month during the beta sale, regularly $29).
Is there a free trial of Pro features?
The free tier includes the core workflow — clip detection, editor, captions, face framing, audio mixing, and social publishing where permissions allow — with ClipX branding on exports. Pro is currently $14/month during the beta sale (regularly $29) if you want clean unbranded exports and priority queue.
Can I clip a 3-hour podcast with the free tier?
You can — a 3-hour podcast costs 180 coins (180 min ÷ 1 min/coin), which exceeds the free 100-coin monthly grant. Pro at $14/month gives you 500 coins (500 minutes), comfortably covering a full 3-hour video with room for more. Free clips export with a small ClipX watermark; Pro removes it.
What sources can the free YouTube clipper handle?
Direct YouTube URLs (public or unlisted videos you own or have rights to use), file uploads in MP4, MOV, AVI, MKV, and WebM, plus Twitch, Vimeo, and Kick URLs. Processing uses your monthly credits at 1 credit per minute of source video.
How accurate is the free AI clip detection?
ClipX is a review accelerator: it ranks candidate moments by hook strength, context, pacing, and platform fit. Some suggestions will be ready to export, some may need a trim, and some may be worth skipping. The ranked feed makes it fast to review the strongest candidates first.
Will my free clips have a watermark?
Yes — free-tier exports include an animated ClipX watermark that orbits across the frame plus a branded outro at the end of the clip. Pro at $14/month during the beta sale (regularly $29) removes both for clean exports.
