Free tool
YouTube Shorts Generator
Turn long YouTube videos into Shorts without scrubbing the timeline. ClipX imports the source, suggests the best short segments, and formats clips for vertical mobile viewing.
Free during beta. No credit card. Cancel any time.
How it works
Paste a YouTube URL
Use any public YouTube video that you have rights to repurpose. ClipX also supports uploaded files when your source is not on YouTube.
Choose your clip length
Pick a target range for Shorts-style clips so the AI looks for complete ideas that fit the length you want.
Select the best suggestions
Review ranked clips with timestamps and summaries, then open the strongest candidates in the editor.
Export vertical Shorts
Add captions, tune crop, and export an MP4. Free beta exports carry ClipX branding; Pro removes the watermark and outro.
What you get
- YouTube link import plus file-upload fallback
- Ranked Shorts candidates from long-form videos
- Captions built for muted mobile viewers
- Vertical 9:16, square, portrait, and horizontal export options
- Free watermarked exports during beta; Pro removes branding
Frequently asked questions
Can I paste any YouTube link?
ClipX works with public YouTube videos that are available for processing. You should only repurpose videos you own or have rights to use.
Does ClipX make the Shorts automatically?
ClipX automatically suggests and scores Shorts candidates, then you choose which clips to export. This keeps quality control in your hands while removing most manual searching.
Can I upload the video instead of using a YouTube link?
Yes. You can upload common video formats such as MP4, MOV, MKV, WebM, and AVI.
Is there a watermark?
Free beta exports include an animated ClipX watermark and branded outro. Pro removes both for clean client or channel exports.
