ShortMatic

What it does

ShortMatic turns long videos into reviewable YouTube Shorts, TikTok clips, and Reels. AI finds moments, you approve, then export with captions. Upload a file or import a supported YouTube URL. Get a queue of clip candidates, fix captions, and export vertical 9:16 files. Built for creators who already have podcasts, tutorials, or interviews — not a CapCut-style effects timeline.

AI Shorts generator for YouTube to Shorts, TikTok & Reels. Upload or import a long video, review AI moments, caption, and export vertical clips. Free plan — no card.

ShortMatic Ai is a free AI Shorts generator that finds the best moments , adds captions , and exports for YouTube Shorts, TikTok, and Reels — long video to Shorts in one studio. Same recording in and out — three AI-style clip suggestions from one long upload. Find moments, caption them, reframe for mobile — then open Studio only if you want a tighter cut. Transcript, scenes, and hooks are scored together so you get Shorts candidates — not a random 15-second slice. Word-timed styles from Bold Reels to One Word. Pick None when the clip should stay clean. Subject-aware crop keeps faces and action in frame so the vertical file looks shot for mobile. No editor training. One path from a long file…from shortmatic.app

You can send all the media to process in the cloud, but it’s slow, expensive and raises privacy concerns. So we decided to build our own on-device media search engine. How it works (high level): 1.
