About MakeShorts
MakeShorts is a web service that turns long YouTube videos into short vertical clips for YouTube Shorts, TikTok and Reels. A user provides a video and the service selects clips, reframes them and prepares them for posting.
The features listed are AI clipping, which picks engaging segments from a video; autofocus cropping, which converts landscape video to vertical while keeping the main speaker in frame; AI subtitling with automatic transcription; and AI generated social captions and hashtags. The site states that it supports a wide range of languages for transcription.
It is aimed at creators and marketers who repurpose long form video into short form content.
Pricing is based on minutes of video uploaded, and the number of shorts downloaded is unlimited. The Free plan costs $0 and includes 30 credits per month, videos up to 15 minutes, a watermark, low quality exports, no editing tools and clips that expire after 3 days. Lite lists 150 credits per month, Plus lists 350 and Pro lists 800, with longer video limits, higher upload sizes, no watermark and longer clip storage as the plan rises. The site shows these paid plans with discounted annual billing, for example Lite at $6 per month billed as $72 per year, but does not state an end date for those discounts.
