Video to Shorts Converter

Q: What types of videos can I convert to shorts?

Any video with spoken content — podcasts, interviews, tutorials, vlogs, webinars, lectures. Videos between 5 minutes and 3 hours produce the best results.

Q: What formats does the converter support?

Input: YouTube, Vimeo, Twitch URLs, direct video URLs, and file uploads (MP4, MOV, WEBM). Output: MP4 in 9:16, 1:1, 4:5, or 16:9.

Q: How long does conversion take?

AI analysis takes 1-3 minutes depending on video length. Rendering each clip takes another 30-60 seconds. A 30-minute video typically produces 5-10 clips in under 10 minutes.

Q: Can I choose which shorts to export?

Yes. After AI analysis, you review all detected highlights with scores and previews. Select the ones you want, customize settings, and render only those.

Convert any long-form video into platform-ready shorts. Shortzly's AI handles the entire workflow — from finding highlights to adding captions and exporting in multiple aspect ratios.
