FAQ
Is this AI clip maker free?
Yes. There is no sign-up, no watermark and no monthly limit, because the work happens on your own computer instead of our servers.
Is my video uploaded?
No. The video is read and processed inside your browser with ffmpeg compiled to WebAssembly and an on-device face detection model. Nothing is sent to us. The first run downloads the processing engine (about 30 MB) from public CDNs.
What does the AI do?
Face detection. For every clip it samples frames, finds the largest face and centres the vertical 9:16 crop on that person, so the speaker stays in frame instead of being cut off by a plain centre crop.
How long can my video be?
Any length you can play in your browser, but each run makes up to 10 clips and very large files can run out of browser memory. For a long podcast, clip one section at a time.
What format are the clips?
MP4 (H.264 video, AAC audio), 720×1280, ready to upload to TikTok, Instagram Reels and YouTube Shorts.
