YouTube Clip Maker
Extract and trim the best clips from your YouTube videos.
Turn full-length YouTube videos into viral, short clips
Skip all the tedious work. When you copy-and-paste the YouTube URL to your video, you get multiple clips trimmed for you, ready for you to edit directly or download.
Find the best parts of your video—instantly
Find the best moments in under 10 seconds. This YouTube Clip Maker transcribes and scans through your video, finding the moments that are most likely to go viral on YouTube Shorts, Instagram Reels, or TikTok.
Get your YouTube clips tailored for every social media platform
You got your clips. That must be it, right? Wrong! Step into the Repurpose Studio to not only make clips from a YouTube video, but also get them edited for each channel—automatically.
Always keep speakers front-and-center
What you don’t usually think about while recording a talking session: auto-framing. Auto-framing switches cameras to focus on an individual as they talk. Perfect for multiple speakers in one video, this is the best automatic feature for podcasts, webinars, and meetings.

Best online video service ever. And a miracle for deaf people.
[Subtitler] is able to autogenerate subtitles for video in almost any language. I'm deaf (or almost deaf, to be correct) and thanks to Kapwing I'm now able understand and react on videos from my friends :)

By the far the most user friendly software to use.
As a housewife at home looking to start a YouTube channel for fun with absolutely zero editing experience, it was so easy for me to teach myself via their YouTube channel. It takes the tediousness out of editing and encourages creativity. As long as Kapwing is around, I will be using their software.

Love this site.
As an English Foreign Language Teacher, this site helps me to quickly subtitle interesting videos that I can use in class. The students love the videos, and the subtitles really help them to learn new vocabulary as well as better understand and follow the video.

Excellent subtitling features
[It] works perfectly for me. Have been using Kapwing for a year or so, and their automatic subtitle tool gets better and better every week, it's rare that I have to correct a word. Keep up the good work!
