About YTShorts.ai

YTShorts.ai is an AI-powered tool that transforms long-form videos into ready-to-post YouTube Shorts. Users paste a YouTube link or upload a video, and the tool automatically identifies the strongest moments, ranks them by quality, reframes them to 9:16 vertical format, and adds word-by-word captions.

The platform offers five core tools: Extract Shorts finds and ranks the best moments in videos; Smart Short stitches moments into one cohesive short covering the full story; Add Captions burns animated captions into existing clips; Add Voiceover narrates videos with AI voices; and Create Video generates narrated videos from scripts using stock footage, requiring no source video.

Built by an independent team in India, YTShorts.ai is positioned as an affordable alternative to larger clipping platforms, with paid plans starting at $2.99 per month and a genuinely usable free plan offering 50 credits monthly. All tools are available on every plan, from free through premium tiers.

FAQ

What do I actually get back from one long video?

A set of vertical 9:16 clips, ranked best-first, each already cut, reframed and captioned word-by-word. You pick which ones are worth posting with no editing step in between.

How long does a job take?

Processing takes longer than a page load but shorter than manual editing. Transcription, ranking and rendering run on real hardware for minutes rather than seconds, and the app shows which stage is currently running.

Do I need to install anything?

No. Everything runs in the browser at app.ytshorts.ai. There is also a command-line version available for developers.

What is a credit?

One job costs credits based on the tool used and video length, calculated per 5 minutes rounded up. Create Video is counted per 30 seconds of finished video. Studio and Pro Clone voices add a flat 2 or 4 credits per narrated job.

Does it work if my video isn't in English?

Yes. Transcription auto-detects the language and you can force a specific one. Captions can also be translated into another language before being burned in.
