Try it free — no signup

Paste a YouTube link and Clipflow will pull the moments worth turning into TikTok clips — the gist + the clip-worthy beats, in seconds.

Works with any public YouTube video that has captions. No signup, no API key.

A YouTube video is shot for a lean-back, horizontal, 8–20 minute watch. TikTok is the opposite — vertical, sound-on, and won by the first two seconds. The hard part of going YouTube → TikTok is not the file export; it is finding which 30–60 seconds actually stand alone and reframing them so the speaker stays centred. Clipflow does that pass for you.

How it works

YouTube video in, TikTok out.

  1. 01Paste the YouTube linkImport any public YouTube video by URL — no download, no re-upload. Clipflow transcribes it word-for-word first.
  2. 02Let the clip-finder pick the momentsThe model scans the transcript for self-contained, hook-shaped moments and proposes vertical clips. You keep, cut, or re-trim each one.
  3. 03Reframe and captionEach clip is reframed 16:9 → 9:16 with active-speaker tracking so the right face stays in frame, then captioned in your brand voice with a TikTok-native style.
  4. 04Publish or schedule to TikTokPush the approved clips straight to TikTok, or queue them on the scheduler at your best posting times.

What you get

Why Clipflow

It picks, you approve

Most converters just crop and export. Clipflow finds the moments worth posting first, so you are editing a shortlist, not scrubbing a 20-minute timeline.

Captions in your voice

The caption copy is written in your brand voice, not a generic auto-transcript — the words that sell the clip, not just the words that were said.

Straight to TikTok

Approve and publish without leaving the tool. No render-download-reupload loop.

Questions

YouTube → TikTok, answered.

Can I turn a YouTube video into a TikTok for free?

Yes. The free plan lets you import a YouTube video, generate vertical clips, caption them, and publish to TikTok using bundled AI — no credit card and no API key required to get your first clips out.

Does it reframe horizontal YouTube footage to vertical?

Yes. Every clip is reframed 16:9 → 9:16 with active-speaker tracking so the talking head stays centred, and you can hand-adjust the crop before rendering.

Will the captions match my brand?

Captions are written in your brand voice rather than a raw transcript, and you choose the on-screen caption style (word-by-word, karaoke, highlight-pop) per clip.

How many TikToks can I get from one YouTube video?

A typical 15–20 minute video yields 15–25 standalone clip candidates. You decide which to keep — Clipflow proposes, you approve.
