ShortMatic Ai is a browser-based web app that turns long videos such as podcasts, tutorials, interviews, and webinars into vertical short clips ready for YouTube Shorts, TikTok, and Instagram Reels, using AI to find the best moments, add word-timed captions, and auto-reframe for mobile aspect ratios.
What is ShortMatic Ai?
ShortMatic Ai is a web app that converts long videos into short vertical clips for YouTube Shorts, TikTok, and Instagram Reels. You input a YouTube link or upload a file, and it outputs short, captioned, vertical videos with AI-selected moments. It runs entirely in your browser without requiring video editing software, and it offers a Studio for manual fine-tuning when needed.
Key Features
- AI Moment Finder — Scans the entire video, scores transcript, scenes, and hooks together, and produces Shorts candidates rather than random 15-second slices.
- Word-Timed Captions — Generates captions that follow the voice, with style options from Bold Reels to One Word, or none at all when you want a clean clip.
- Auto-Reframe — Subject-aware cropping keeps faces and action in frame for 9:16, 4:5, and 1:1 aspect ratios without manual adjustment.
- Export-Ready Files — Downloads files formatted for YouTube Shorts, TikTok, and Instagram Reels, complete with captions burned in.
- Studio for Fine-Tuning — Opens the same recording in a Studio view if you want a tighter cut beyond the AI suggestions.
- Free Plan — Includes 15 source minutes, 5 Shorts, 2 Best Edits, 500 MB storage, and 40 background AI jobs per month, with no credit card required.
Who is it for?
- YouTubers — Turn long uploads into daily Shorts to keep the channel active.
- Podcasters — Clip episode highlights into shareable moments for social media.
- Educators — Repurpose recorded lessons into vertical tips for students.

How does ShortMatic Ai work?
The workflow has three steps: drop a long video by pasting a YouTube link or uploading a file; then the AI finds the best Shorts by scoring transcript, scenes, and hooks, crops vertical, and prepares captions in one flow; finally, download the files and post to YouTube Shorts, TikTok, or Instagram Reels.
