2short.ai is a short-clip tool for long YouTube videos. You paste a link, it looks for spoken moments, and it outputs clips with face tracking and animated subtitles. Plans are Starter, Lite, Pro, and Premium, and the cards differ by analysis hours.
Official website · 2short.ai
2short.ai fits captioned, spoken YouTube videos when you want vertical, square, or horizontal clips from one link. Lite, at $9.90/mo, is where Google Drive and public-URL imports appear. Silent footage is a weak fit because the FAQ relies on spoken words. The privacy policy still names Openai GPT-3 and was last updated on 17.02.2023.
The homepage calls 2short.ai an AI YouTube Shorts generator. Let 2short.ai extract the best moments of your videos and turn them into performing short clips that drive views and subscribers 10X faster. That 10X line is the page's own claim. The start steps are: Simply copy your video link from YouTube and paste it into the 2short app. Try it out for free and Create free account. 2short.ai thrives with videos that contain spoken words, as our AI uses this to understand and extract the most engaging parts. Named examples are podcasts, educational videos, commentary, product reviews, and speeches. The FAQ says only videos with captions can be processed, and that YouTube auto-generates captions for most videos. The language list runs from Bulgarian, Czech, Danish, Dutch, and English through Japanese, Korean, Spanish, Turkish, and Ukrainian, 26 names in all, with more promised and no date.
Official documentationCenter stage facial tracking is the first feature block. Our AI uses facial tracking technology to automatically keep them at the center of the screen. If that frame is wrong, the page offers advanced editing and cropping. With a single click, add animated subtitles that breathe life into your content. Ratios are vertical, square, and horizontal. Brand presets add logos and overlays on the export. A separate headline says unlimited high-quality exports, no watermarks, and 1080p. That headline is not a number on the Starter card, so read it beside Lite's 60 export minutes and Pro's unlimited fast server-side exports.
Official documentationExperience full access to all our features, regardless of your pricing plan. Plans mainly vary in AI video analysis hours. Starter is Free and its card says 30 minutes of AI video analyzing per month, plus viewing and exporting clips already generated. The footer disagrees: With our free Starter plan, you get 15 minutes of AI video analysis to discover how 2short.ai can make repurposing content a breeze. Lite is $9.90/mo: everything in Starter, 5 hours of analysis, 60 minutes of fast server-side exports, Google Drive and public URL imports, and no ads. Pro, marked Most popular, is $19.90/mo with 15 hours and unlimited fast server-side exports. Premium is $49.90/mo with 50 hours, priority support, and newest beta features. The page does not define a reprocessed minute.
Official documentationThe privacy policy was last updated on 17.02.2023. It says 2short.ai may collect an IP address, email, first and last name, profile picture, and language preference, and may send promotional email you can opt out of. Google sign-in requests the same name, email, picture, and language. Google user data is not sold or shared except as needed to provide the service. The personal information collected by 2short.ai is stored on secure servers located within the European Union. We use Openai GPT-3 to generate YouTube short videos from public YouTube video links. The policy says GPT-3 is not perfect and that accuracy is not guaranteed. Under the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), you have certain rights with respect to your personal information: access, correction, deletion, restriction, objection, and a portable copy. The contact line is public as [email protected]. Data is kept while the service needs it, then deleted.
Official documentationStarts with one captioned episode. Paste the YouTube link and expect spoken moments, not silent B-roll. Check whether the account meters the 15-minute footer or the 30-minute card before you rely on the free row. Review face framing and the one-click subtitles before you trust the 1080p headline. Crop if a second speaker falls out of frame. Only follows the public steps.
Another suggested workflow is a spoken show that already has a public YouTube upload. The FAQ names podcasts as a fit because the AI uses spoken words and needs captions. Paste the link on Starter. Move to Lite, at $9.90/mo, only if you need the shown 5 hours, Google Drive or public-URL import, or the no-ads line. Pick vertical, square, or horizontal per destination instead of assuming one file covers every app. Brand logos and overlays are the documented way to mark the clips.
A suggested agency reading starts at Pro or Premium only after the hours are real. Pro is $19.90/mo for 15 hours and unlimited fast server-side exports. Premium is $49.90/mo for 50 hours, priority support, and beta features. The page says features are not withheld by plan. Also read the privacy policy: EU storage, a GDPR rights list, and a GPT-3 limit dated 17.02.2023.

Clip behavior, minute caps, prices, and the GPT-3 sentence come from the 2short.ai homepage and privacy policy reviewed on 6 October 2026.
