How to turn a long video into Shorts
- 01
Open your long video
A video you've posted on YouTube, a livestream recording or a talk — it never leaves your device.
- 02
Get the best moments as Shorts
The speech is transcribed and the moments that hold up on their own become vertical clips, framed on the people, with captions and a title.
- 03
Download and post
Tweak any Short, then download it — or all of them as a ZIP — ready to upload to YouTube Shorts.
Why use Cutlia for this
Shorts that hook in the first second
Moments that start strong and end clean are picked first, with a title on screen for the opening seconds.
Vertical and sharp
MP4 files up to 1080 × 1920 that keep the speaker in frame — or two side by side in a split screen.
A cover and a description
Save a cover image for each Short, and on a computer that can run the AI, get a description with hashtags to paste.
Works in 100 languages
The spoken language is detected by itself, and speech in any of them can be turned into English. Accuracy is best in the most widely spoken ones.

Frequently asked questions
How long are the Shorts?
15 to 60 seconds by default, each ending on a finished sentence. You can ask for under 30 seconds, 30 to 60 or 60 to 90, and move any Short's start and end word by word.
Can I use clips from my own YouTube videos?
Yes — open the video file you uploaded, or any recording of yours. Cutlia works with the file on your device; it doesn't download anything from YouTube.
Will the Shorts have captions?
Yes, word by word, in a style of your choice, with the key words in their own color. Fix any word speech recognition got wrong right in the captions.
Is it really free?
Yes. Cutlia is free to use with no account, no trial and no watermark on your export. The site is paid for by the ads on it, and your files never leave your device.
