Long video to Shorts

Turn a long video into Shorts

Cutting Shorts from a long video by hand means scrubbing, cropping and captioning every clip. Snipri does the three steps in one pass and gives you clips you can post as they are.

Start free with 90 minutes. No credit card required.

Sample recordings each transformed into captioned highlights.

How to turn a long video into Shorts

Three steps. Usually about 10 minutes.

  1. Add the long video

    Upload the file, paste a public YouTube link or another video link, or pick it from Dropbox or Google Drive.

  2. Snipri cuts, frames and captions

    Moments are selected from the transcript, reframed to vertical around the speaker, and captioned word by word.

  3. Download and post

    Every clip is 9:16 and ready for Shorts, Reels and TikTok.
