TOOLS FOR SHORT-FORM CREATORS.
Every tool below runs on the same engine — drop in a long video, get ready-to-post vertical clips back. They differ in what you feed them and how much of the work you want done for you.
Turning long-form video into short-form is really three jobs: deciding which moments are worth posting, cutting them cleanly, and reshaping widescreen footage into a vertical frame without beheading whoever's talking. Doing that by hand is an afternoon per episode — most of it spent scrubbing footage you already sat through once. These tools each take a different slice of that work.
WHICH ONE DO YOU NEED?
The what-and-why page: how moments get scored, what content types it adapts to, and what ships with every clip.
Built around long sources — what an hour costs, why per-minute beats per-video quotas, and coming back to a big file later.
Gameplay needs a crop that follows the action, not a static center box — plus the stream export workflow.
Paste the URL — nothing to download. Clips come back in the format the Shorts feed expects.
Built for three-hour conversations and talking-head footage, where the speaker has to stay in frame.
Converts 16:9 to vertical 9:16 with subject tracking. Free for clips up to 2 minutes, one a day.

COMMON QUESTIONS.
What's the difference between the AI Clipper and the Reframe tool?
The AI Clipper decides *what* to clip: it scores every moment of a long video, cuts the strongest ones, reframes them, and writes titles and hashtags. The Reframe tool only changes the *shape* of a clip you already have — 16:9 into vertical 9:16 with the subject tracked. Reframing is free for clips up to 2 minutes, one a day on a free account; the clipper is part of the subscription, with one free trial clip for new users.
Do I need a different tool for TikTok, Reels and Shorts?
No. All three platforms use the same vertical 9:16 canvas, so one properly reframed clip posts natively to all of them. The differences are length rules and captions, not format — see our platform size guide for the specifics.
What can I use for free?
The Reframe tool is free for clips up to 2 minutes — one short a day on a free account, no card. New EzClip users also get one free AI-clipped moment from any YouTube link under 2 hours, no card required.
What video formats and lengths are supported?
Uploads in MP4, MOV, AVI or MKV up to 2 GB and 3 hours, or a YouTube link up to the same 3-hour limit. Most videos finish processing in 2–5 minutes; a 60-minute podcast typically takes about 3.
