YTShorts.ai
Turn Your Podcast Into Shorts People Actually Finish Watching
Upload a raw episode or paste a link, and YTShorts.ai finds the moments worth clipping -- the arguments, the punchlines, the "wait, say that again" bits -- and turns them into captioned, 9:16-ready shorts.
The part of podcasting nobody has time for
A 90-minute interview might contain four or five genuinely clippable moments, buried in setup, tangents, and dead air. Finding them by scrubbing through your own recording is slow, and paying an editor to do it for every episode adds up fast if you're publishing weekly.
Extract Shorts handles that first pass for you: it transcribes the full episode, scores segments by how well they're likely to land as a standalone clip, and hands you a ranked list instead of a blank timeline. You pick which ones are worth posting -- the tool does the reframing to 9:16, the captions, and the cut.
How it works
Upload or paste a link
Drop in your recorded episode file, or paste a YouTube link if that's where you publish first.
Review the ranked clips
Extract Shorts comes back with candidate clips sorted by viral potential, each already reframed and captioned.
Post what you like
Download the ones worth publishing, or run one through Smart Short first if you want a single highlight reel covering the whole episode.
If your show doesn't have video
Plenty of podcasts are audio-only, recorded without a camera in frame. Add Voiceover and Add Captions both work from audio alone, so an audio-first show isn't blocked from getting clippable, watchable shorts out of it -- you don't need a video podcast setup to use any of this.
Your next episode already has its shorts in it
Free plan includes enough monthly credits to try this on a real episode before you decide whether to upgrade.
