# Podcast Clipper AI > Podcast Clipper AI is a done-for-you AI service that turns podcast episodes into edited vertical Shorts for TikTok, YouTube Shorts and Instagram Reels. You paste a YouTube or Google Drive link to an episode; the AI picks the best moments and edits each into a captioned 9:16 Short, usually within 1–3 hours. The first Short is free; Creator Pro is $300 per month for 30 Shorts. ## Key facts - What it is: a done-for-you podcast clipping service (not a self-serve editor). Built only for podcasts and interviews. - Who it is for: podcasters, interview shows and their producers who want Shorts every week without editing. - Input: a YouTube or Google Drive link to an episode up to 3 hours long. - Output per Short: a 1080×1920 MP4 (9:16, 20–60 seconds) with word-by-word captions, a hook title, zooms, motion graphics and sound effects, plus an SRT caption file, a cover image and a ready-to-paste post caption with hashtags. - Shorts per episode: the customer chooses, up to 10. - Turnaround: usually 1–3 hours from pasting the link; progress is shown live in the dashboard and an email is sent when the Shorts are ready. - Platforms: TikTok, YouTube Shorts, Instagram Reels, Facebook Reels; the files also work on LinkedIn and X. - Pricing: first Short free with no card; Creator Pro $300/month for 30 Shorts (about $10 per Short), no contract, cancel anytime. - Ownership: the Shorts belong to the customer. Podcast Clipper AI never posts on the customer's behalf. - How it differs from Opus Clip and similar tools: those are self-serve editors where you review and fix the AI's clips yourself; Podcast Clipper AI delivers finished, checked Shorts with a written post caption. ## How it works 1. Paste a YouTube or Google Drive link to the episode and choose how many Shorts you want. 2. The AI transcribes the episode and picks self-contained moments with a strong hook. 3. Each moment is edited into a vertical Short: pauses cut, speaker framed, captions, hook title, zooms, motion graphics and sound, then an AI review pass checks it. 4. You get an email, then download each Short with its post caption and publish. ## Pages - [Home](https://podcastclipper.ai/): product overview, how it works, comparison table, pricing and FAQ - [Pricing](https://podcastclipper.ai/#pricing): free first Short; Creator Pro $300/month for 30 Shorts - [FAQ](https://podcastclipper.ai/#faq): turnaround, cost, formats, platforms, ownership, comparison with Opus Clip - [Sign up](https://podcastclipper.ai/signup): create an account and get the first Short free ## Contact - Email: support@podcastclipper.ai
