What is ShortVideos.to?

ShortVideos.to is an AI short video maker. Paste any YouTube link and it finds the most engaging moments, then renders them as vertical short videos for TikTok, YouTube Shorts, and Instagram Reels — with word-by-word captions, smart cropping, and ready-to-post social copy.

How do I make money with short videos?

Creators earn from short videos in several ways: the YouTube Shorts revenue-sharing program, TikTok’s creator rewards, Instagram Reels bonuses, and paid clipping for podcasters and streamers who hire clippers to grow their channels. ShortVideos.to automates the editing so you can publish more short videos in less time.

Can I upload my own video instead of a YouTube link?

Yes. Upload your own recording — a podcast, course, webinar, or talk (MP4, up to 30 minutes) — and ShortVideos.to transcribes it, finds the best moments, and renders vertical short videos, exactly like it does for a YouTube link. Uploading your own content is the recommended way to use the tool.

What aspect ratios and formats can I export?

Every short renders in 9:16 for TikTok, YouTube Shorts, and Reels. On paid plans you can also export 1:1 (square) and 4:5 (feed/LinkedIn), generate every clip from a video in one click, and download them all as a zip.

Can I edit the captions and share the clip?

Yes. You can fix any transcription typo before rendering, and every finished clip gets a public share page with a heart/vote count and one-tap sharing to X, Facebook, WhatsApp, and LinkedIn. The most-hearted clips are featured on the homepage.

Do I need video editing skills?

No. Paste a YouTube link or upload your own video and the AI finds the most engaging moments, crops them to vertical 9:16 (or 1:1/4:5 on paid plans), adds word-by-word captions and a title overlay, and writes the social caption and hashtags for you.

What does a finished short video include?

Every short video is rendered in 1080×1920 vertical format with animated word-highlight captions, smart auto-focus cropping that keeps people centered, an optional title overlay, and a ready-to-post caption with hashtags.

How long does it take to generate a short video?

Finding the best moments takes about 30 seconds, and rendering a short video usually takes one to two minutes. You can queue several at once and download them when they’re done.

Which videos can I use?

ShortVideos.to is for repurposing content you own or have the rights to — your own YouTube uploads, podcasts, webinars, or videos you have permission or a licence to use (or use that is otherwise lawful). You confirm you have these rights before each analysis, and you are responsible for how you use the clips you create.

Is ShortVideos.to free to use?

Yes — the Free plan includes 3 short video generations every month. Paid plans start at $9/month for 75 short videos (Starter) and $19/month for 150 (Pro), with no watermark and annual pricing that saves you about two months. Sign in with Google to generate short videos, save your history, and keep your clips in your account.
