Turn one video into multiple clips without any manual editing
Transform one video into an entire social media strategy
Generate instant clip suggestions, engage new audiences, and keep content flowing
Maximize the value of full-length videos
Don’t let the long-form videos you spent hours or days working on fade into irrelevance. Kapwing's Repurpose Studio helps you extend the lifespan of your content, multiplying your output from one to many.
Using AI-powered analysis, the tool identifies the best sections to turn into clips, complete with topics and transcripts. Simply guide the AI with a few prompts about what topics you want to focus on, and the tool will generate multiple short clips, giving your video fresh angles and new ways to reach audiences.
Reach new audiences with tailored clips
Creating a single video from scratch is challenging. Making tons of videos to branch out to audiences on new channels? It's almost overwhelming. Supercharge your content production and easily captivate new audiences with a Repurpose Studio that can generate clips that can range from 15 seconds to 3 minutes.
Quickly turn any video into batches of topic-focused clips and tap into new social media channels that grow your network. Our intuitive automatic resize tool handles the heavy lifting, adjusting aspect ratios with a single click. Whether you're focusing on YouTube, TikTok, Instagram, Facebook, or LinkedIn, generating unique, cross-platform content has never been easier with our user-friendly platform.
Maintain control by customizing your clips
Unlike other AI video repurpose tools, you maintain full creative control of the suggested clips and can edit them directly in the studio. Select from a wide range of templates, subtitles, aspect ratios, intros, and additional effects like emojis, all customizable at any time.
Even if you have no prior video editing experience, you can edit the clips just by cutting out sections from the transcript. Combined with a Brand Kit to manage palettes, fonts, and designs, repurposing videos to align with your brand is a stress-free solution for creating cohesive social media clips.
Resize and center speakers automatically
Keep active speakers perfectly centered with our Auto Speaker Focus feature. Whether you're a podcaster hosting multiple guests, a YouTuber streaming gaming content with friends, or a journalist capturing a one-on-one interview, this tool saves hours of manual editing by automatically adjusting the frame.
Generate subtitles and reach more people
Automatically create 99% accurate subtitles in 75+ languages, complete with a range of styles to suit a diverse range of projects you may face. Skip the time-consuming task of fine-tuning subtitles and focus on expanding your reach with campaigns that promote your now globally optimized content.

What does repurposing a video mean?
Repurposing a video is often confused with content atomization. While both involve editing for multiple channels, video repurposing is the process of taking one video and adapting it to other channels’ size and formats.
Why should I repurpose video content?
Even the best marketers and social media teams can get burned out by video creation. Here are three major reasons to repurpose video content:
- Create More Content Faster: Quickly generate multiple versions or snippets for various platforms without starting from scratch to keep a consistent content flow and reduce time investment.
- Reach New Audiences: Tailor video content to different platforms to increase visibility and engage with new audiences across platforms like Instagram, YouTube, TikTok, and LinkedIn.
- Avoid Burnout: Repurposing video helps reduce the pressure to endlessly produce new content by maximizing each video's value, allowing you to maintain social media presence without burning out.
Is repurposing someone else's content illegal?
Repurposing content isn't inherently illegal, but there are three important factors to consider:
- Copyright Laws: Get permission to use copyrighted content or ensure that it falls under fair use. When used without permission, you could encounter legal issues like copyright infringement.
- Transformative Use: If you transform original content it's usually considered "transformative use" under the law, which is likely to be considered fair use. Be aware that this depends on how much of the original content is used and how much your transform it.
- Terms of Service: When repurposing content on social media or video platforms (e.g., Instagram, YouTube), review the terms of service. Some platforms have specific rules about content usage.
Why should I use subtitles on my videos?
Adding subtitles to your videos increases accessibility by allowing people who are hard of hearing or are viewing with the sound off to engage with your content. Subtitles also make videos easier to understand and remember, especially for more complex content. Using subtitles also allows you to reach a global audience by translating videos into different languages, extending viewership across traditional language barriers.
Can I repurpose user-generated content?
User-generated content comes in many forms: glowing reviews on product pages, video reactions, tweets or DMs from happy customers, etc. Though they might only seem valuable on their original platforms, they’re actually goldmines for repurposing on social media. For example, you might turn positive reviews into a few powerful Instagram videos to leverage customer praise and fuel excitement for an upcoming release.
How to repurpose TikTok videos
TikTok videos are uploaded with a 9:16 aspect ratio, making them the wrong size for YouTube. With Kapwing's automatic resize tool, you can easily crop and adapt your 9:16 videos to fit YouTube's horizontal 16:9 format. Additionally, the all-in-one editor lets you split longer TikTok videos into shorter clips optimized for Instagram, Facebook, LinkedIn, Bluesky, and other platforms, with options to add subtitles, voiceovers, and branding assets.
How to repurpose YouTube videos for Instagram and TikTok
YouTube videos are longer than 3 minutes with a 16:9 aspect ratio, which makes them the wrong size for other social media channels and even YouTube Shorts. With Kapwing's automatic resize tool, you can easily crop and adapt your 16:9 videos to fit a vertical 9:16 aspect ratio, perfect for platforms like Instagram and TikTok.
Kapwing is free to use for teams of any size. We also offer paid plans with additional features, storage, and support.
