About 2short.ai
2short.ai is a web tool that takes long YouTube videos, uses AI to identify the most engaging spoken moments, and turns them into short clips for platforms such as TikTok and Reels. Users paste a YouTube link into the app, and the tool produces the clips. Clips can be formatted as vertical, square, or horizontal, with center-stage facial tracking, animated subtitles, cropping options, and brand logo overlays.
The tool has clear limits. It can only process videos that have captions.
