Turn YouTube videos into Shorts with AI

Paste a YouTube URL, let WurifyPeak hunt the strongest moments, and export Shorts-ready vertical clips with captions and 9:16 framing. It's an AI clipper for your real videos — you keep editorial control over every cut before it goes live.

Workflow

  1. Import the long YouTube video by URL.
  2. Review ranked clip candidates.
  3. Adjust captions, title, crop and timing.
  4. Export for Shorts, TikTok or Reels.

One long upload, a whole batch of Shorts

A single long YouTube video usually contains several Shorts worth posting — you just have to find them and reframe them. WurifyPeak does the finding: it scores the timeline, surfaces the moments with the strongest hooks and retention, and turns them into vertical drafts. Instead of re-scrubbing the whole upload by hand, you start from ranked candidates and finish them fast. It's repurposing your own footage, not generating synthetic video — see how it fits a repeatable repurposing workflow.

What every Short includes

  • AI moment detection across the full video, ranked by clip potential.
  • 9:16 reframing that keeps faces and on-screen context in frame.
  • Word-level captions in the safe area, editable and restylable.
  • Editor review — trim, re-time, fix the title and captions before export.
  • One export for every platform — Shorts, TikTok and Reels share 9:16.

Made for creators who post consistently

Whether you run a podcast, a long-form YouTube channel, an educational series or a livestream, the bottleneck is turning one upload into a steady feed of Shorts. WurifyPeak removes that bottleneck so you can publish more without rebuilding every cut. Clipping for other platforms works the same way — TikTok clips and Instagram Reels from the same source.

Frequently asked questions

How do I convert a YouTube video to Shorts?

Paste the YouTube URL into WurifyPeak, let it detect the strongest moments in the video, then review the suggested clips in the editor. Adjust the in/out points, captions and 9:16 crop, and export Shorts-ready vertical clips — no manual scrubbing of the full video.

Does it work with long YouTube videos and podcasts?

Yes — long-form is exactly the use case. Interviews, podcasts, webinars, tutorials and streams uploaded to YouTube all work. The AI scans the whole timeline and ranks the segments most likely to perform as standalone Shorts.

Are captions added automatically?

Every clip comes with word-level auto captions placed in the safe area. You can fix any transcription errors, restyle the font and reposition the text before exporting.

Can I use the same clips for TikTok and Reels?

Yes. Clips are 9:16 vertical, so the same export works for YouTube Shorts, TikTok and Instagram Reels.

Is there a free way to try it?

Yes — the Free plan lets you convert a YouTube video into clips with a watermark, so you can test the moment detection and editor before upgrading.
