AI Clips Generator
100% Free No sign-up No login No paywall
AI Clips Generator turns any long video — even a 3-hour video — into short clips for Shorts, Reels and TikTok, right in your browser. Upload your video file (it streams from your device through a local file URL, so there is no size limit from this site — only your device's memory matters, and the file never uploads to any server). Define as many clips as you like with start and end times, add text overlays in your own words, size and colour, generate auto-captions from speech, and export each clip as a real video file. This page is honest about how export works: it re-records your clip in real time (a 30-second clip takes about 30 seconds to export), because instant MP4 cutting needs a server with ffmpeg, which this static site does not have.

Auto-captions from speech
How to use AI Clips Generator
- Upload your video file — any length, even 3 hours. The total duration appears automatically.
- Set a clip's start and end time, pick the output format (9:16, 16:9 or 1:1), and add your text overlay and caption.
- Press “Add Clip”, then “Preview” to watch that clip with its text on screen.
- Press “Auto-Captions” while the video plays to transcribe speech, edit the words, and export the clip as a real video file — or download the clip plan and SRT.
Worked example
Example: a 2-hour podcast. Clip 1: 12:30–13:00, format 9:16, overlay text “The ONE habit that changed everything”, auto-captions on. You preview it, the words appear as captions over the video, and you export a 30-second vertical clip ready for Shorts — plus an SRT file of the captions.
Tips for better results
- Clips of 30–60 seconds perform best on Shorts and Reels.
- Put the most interesting line in the first 3 seconds of every clip.
- Keep overlay text to 5 words or fewer so it reads at a glance.
- Export one clip at a time — export records in real time, so a 30-second clip takes about 30 seconds.
- Always check auto-captions before export: speech recognition is good, but not perfect.
Frequently asked questions about AI Clips Generator
Is the clips generator free?
Yes, completely free — everything runs in your browser, no API key needed.
Can I upload a 3-hour video?
Yes. The video streams from your device through a local file URL, so the site sets no size limit. The only limit is your device's memory — very long videos on a low-memory phone may struggle.
Is my video uploaded anywhere?
No. Your video never leaves your device. Upload, preview, captions and export all happen locally in your browser.
How do auto-captions work?
They use your browser's speech recognition (Chrome). While the video plays, spoken words are transcribed and shown as captions over the video. You can edit them before export.
Do auto-captions need the internet?
Yes — Chrome's speech recognition runs through the browser's speech service, so it needs an internet connection. Accuracy varies with audio quality, and you can pick English, Urdu or Hindi.
Why does export take real time?
Export re-records your clip through a canvas while it plays, so a 30-second clip takes about 30 seconds. Instant MP4 cutting would need a server with ffmpeg, which this static site does not have.
What format is the exported clip?
WebM video, which plays in browsers and most editors and uploads to YouTube, TikTok and Instagram. For MP4, convert it in your editor or with ffmpeg.
Can I download the clip plan and captions?
Yes — download the full clip plan as JSON and the captions as an SRT file, any time.
