Turn a YouTube video into TikToks.
Pull a 15–45 second moment out of a YouTube video, reframe it to 9:16, and burn in captions. You get a Full HD 1080×1920 file (1440p on Creator), ready to upload to TikTok.
Free to start, no card. Works with YouTube videos that have captions.
How it works
Paste a YouTube link
Any public video with captions (manual or auto-generated). Nothing to upload or install.
Describe the hook
Say the 15–45 second moment you want. The AI finds that cut in the transcript.
Post the TikTok
Face-aware 9:16, captions, full HD. Download it for TikTok; the same file also works for Reels and Shorts.
What you get
Built for a fast hook
Ask for the moment that stands alone, so the clip makes sense without the rest of the video.
9:16 on the speaker
The crop follows the person talking instead of slicing them out of a widescreen frame.
Captions for mute scrolling
Word-by-word subtitles, because a lot of TikTok is watched with the sound off.
Full HD on every plan
A 1080×1920 MP4 on Free, 1440p on Creator. Paid plans have no watermark.
Why turn YouTube videos into TikToks?
TikTok pays off when you post often, and a long YouTube video already contains the raw material. A podcast, interview, or tutorial usually has several moments that stand on their own: a sharp first line, a number, a short explanation. Clipping those into 15–45 second vertical videos is faster than filming a new one for every post. MyShorts reads the transcript, finds the moment you describe, and hands you the file.
What a YouTube clip needs before it works on TikTok
The clip has to make sense if someone never sees the original video. Start on the hook, keep one idea, and put the words on screen, because a lot of people scroll with the sound off. A widescreen crop that cuts off the speaker looks broken in a vertical feed, so the frame has to follow the person talking. Export without another product’s watermark (on MyShorts, any paid plan) so the video looks like it belongs on TikTok, then post the same file to Reels and Shorts if you want.

Common questions
Can I turn a YouTube video into a TikTok?
Yes. Paste the link, describe the moment, and MyShorts exports a 9:16 clip with captions that you can upload to TikTok.
How long should the clip be?
Most TikToks from a long video work best at 15–45 seconds: one hook, one idea, then stop.
Is TikTok available in India?
No. TikTok has been blocked in India since 2020. Creators in India post the same 9:16 clip to Instagram Reels, YouTube Shorts and WhatsApp Status instead.
Is there a watermark?
Free clips carry a small MyShorts watermark; paid plans, from ₹299 a month, have none. Free exports 1080×1920, Starter 1080×1920 and Creator 1440×2560.
Does it work with every YouTube video?
It works with public YouTube videos that have captions, either manual or YouTube’s auto-generated ones, which most videos have. On Creator and Custom, videos with captions turned off are transcribed by AI.
