MakeShorts

What it does

MakeShorts is an AI tool that turns YouTube videos into short clips. It selects engaging segments, crops the frame to vertical with speaker tracking, adds subtitles, and writes captions and hashtags. Videos are imported through YouTube links; direct uploads are not available. There is a free plan with 30 credits per month and paid plans, and signup runs through app.makeshorts.ai. Contact is [email protected].

The free plan includes auto captions and auto reframe, up to 15 minutes per video, watermarks, and clips that expire in 3 days. Paid plans are billed annually, with upload minutes and simultaneous video limits rising by tier; the lite plan lists $6 per month billed annually at $72 per year. Subtitles and transcription cover many languages, including English, Spanish, French, German, Hindi, Japanese, Korean, Portuguese, and Chinese. The FAQ says the tool suits speech-focused videos such as podcasts, lectures, interviews, and webinars, and that the number of output shorts is unlimited while upload minutes are capped by plan.
