Turn long videos into YouTube Shorts
You already have hours of long-form footage. VoxCut helps you slice it into vertical YouTube Shorts, add animated captions, and publish without leaving your browser. It's a web-based AI editor, so there's nothing to install and a free plan to start with.
From one long video to a batch of Shorts
Drop in a long video and let Clip Factory split it into multiple short, vertical 9:16 clips in a single pass. Instead of manually scrubbing for the good parts, you get a set of Shorts-ready cuts to review.
If you'd rather start from the highlights, Best Moments uses AI to find the strongest segments in your footage and turn them into clips, so the parts most likely to hook a viewer rise to the top.
Vertical reframe and captions that fit Shorts
YouTube Shorts are vertical and watched with the sound off as often as not. VoxCut reframes your horizontal footage to 9:16 and adds Auto Captions: word-level, animated, burned-in subtitles you can style to match your channel.
Captions are generated automatically and support multiple languages, so the same workflow handles an English clip and a Spanish one. You can also drop in auto B-roll or stock footage to keep slower stretches visually alive.
Titles, hooks, and a consistent look
A Short lives or dies on its first second. VoxCut's AI Tools generate titles, hooks, and descriptions so you have options to test instead of staring at a blank field.
Brand Kit locks your fonts, colors, and watermark across every export, so a batch of ten Shorts looks like it came from one channel rather than ten different editors. Voice Studio adds TTS voiceovers and speech-to-text when you need narration or a transcript.
Schedule straight to YouTube
Once your Shorts are cut and captioned, VoxCut posts and schedules them directly to YouTube (and TikTok) from the editor. You can line up a week of clips from a single long video instead of exporting, downloading, and re-uploading each one.
Everything runs in the browser across 10 UI languages. There's a free plan to try it, and paid plans start at $5.67/month when you need more.
Frequently asked questions
How does VoxCut turn a long video into Shorts?
Upload your long video and Clip Factory splits it into a batch of short vertical 9:16 clips in one pass. Best Moments can also use AI to pull the strongest segments. Each clip can then get a vertical reframe, captions, and a title before you publish.
Does it add captions to my Shorts automatically?
Yes. Auto Captions generates word-level, animated, burned-in subtitles in many styles, and supports multiple languages. Since most Shorts are watched muted, captions are added as part of the normal workflow rather than as an afterthought.
Can VoxCut post my Shorts to YouTube for me?
Yes. VoxCut includes auto-posting and scheduling straight to YouTube and TikTok, so you can queue up a batch of Shorts from one long video without exporting and re-uploading each clip manually.
Do I need to install anything?
No. VoxCut runs entirely in your browser with no install, and the interface is available in 10 languages.
Is there a free plan, and what does it cost?
There's a free plan you can sign up for and start with. Paid plans begin at $5.67/month for higher limits and more output.
