Free tools

Free tools for clipping and short video

No sign-up for any of them, and most run entirely in your browser, so the video never leaves your computer.

Plan the numbers

What the tools cost, what a video is worth in clips, and what the views pay.

Clipping cost calculator

Every AI clipping tool in one unit: what an hour of video a month costs on each.

Clips from one video

How many clips come out of an hour of recording, and how long that lasts at your posting rate.

Clipper pay calculator

Your campaign rate and your real views, and what a per-clip cap does to the total.

Posting schedule

Pick how often to post and when, and keep a steady queue without remembering to.

Check the video

See what a platform will do with a file before you post it.

Vertical crop preview

See what a wide video loses when it becomes 9:16, and what the app's own buttons cover.

Video file checker

Length, frame size and shape, and what TikTok, Reels and Shorts will each do with the file.

Cover frame picker

Save any frame as a full-size PNG, with the profile-grid crop shown beside it.

B-roll ideas

B-roll suggested from what is said in one clip. You pick one of three, or none.

Get the text and the sound out

Transcripts, subtitles and audio, from a link or a file.

Video to transcript

The transcript as text and SRT, from a YouTube, Twitch or podcast link or from a file.

Extract subtitles

Pull the subtitle tracks out of an MKV, MP4 or MOV and save them as SRT, VTT or text.

Subtitle converter

SRT to VTT and back, shift the timing, and re-wrap lines too long for a phone.

Extract audio

Save the sound of an MP4, MOV, WebM or MKV as M4A or WAV, without losing quality.

When you want the clips themselves

SnapDub finds the moments in a long video and hands back vertical, captioned clips. The free plan is enough to try it.
