Quip

YouTube to Shorts

A long YouTube video is a stack of ready-made Shorts. Quip finds the strongest moments, reframes them to vertical, adds captions, and tells you which Short to post first.

No card required. 2 free videos every month.

How it works

01

Upload the video

A long YouTube video: podcast, review, interview, or stream — up to 3 hours of source.

02

Quip builds the Shorts

It picks the moments, writes a hook, scores confidence, and reframes to 9:16.

03

Publish to Shorts

Vertical clips with captions, 1080p export with no watermark on paid plans.

Why Quip

Long becomes short

One video feeds a week of Shorts — with no manual editing.

Moments that hold

Quip looks for complete, compelling segments, not random chunks cut on a timer.

A clear choice

The confidence score and reason show which Shorts to publish first.

FAQ

Which YouTube videos work?
Talking content: podcasts, interviews, reviews, streams, lectures. The more speech, the more strong moments.
Do I have to edit anything by hand?
No. Clipping, the frame, and captions are automatic. The editor is only there if you want to tweak details.
Is the quality preserved?
Yes — paid plans export at 1080p with no watermark. The free plan is 720p with a small watermark.
