Turn YouTube videos into Shorts with AI
Clipzula is a YouTube to Shorts converter that takes a link and finds the best moments in the video. Each one comes out as a vertical 9:16 clip with captions, ready for Shorts, TikTok or Reels.
Paste a link, get Shorts
Paste a YouTube link, or upload an MP4, MOV, MKV or WebM file up to 2 GB. Videos can be up to 3 hours long. Clipzula downloads and processes the video for you.
Best-moment detection
Turning a long video into Shorts means choosing what to keep. Clipzula combines the transcript, loudness peaks and scene changes to find candidates, and an AI judge watches each one. Every clip gets suggested hooks and a virality score based on hook, payoff, flow and value.
Captions and 9:16 in one step
Every clip is cropped to vertical with captions written in the language of your video. Pick a caption style and a layout (Auto, Post card, Split, Crop or Blur) and download the result without a watermark.
