Cliphi
Cliphi is an AI clipping tool that turns long podcasts, livestreams and videos into vertical clips for YouTube Shorts, TikTok and Instagram Reels, adding word-by-word animated captions, AI background music and active speaker tracking so every clip arrives ready to post, with each highlight scored on viral potential before you publish it to a connected account or download the file for yourself.
What is Cliphi?
Cliphi is an AI video clipping platform that turns long videos, podcasts and livestreams into short vertical clips built for YouTube Shorts, TikTok, Instagram Reels and Facebook Reels. The workflow starts with a link or a file: you paste a YouTube, Twitch, Kick, Instagram, TikTok, Facebook, X, Pinterest or Google Drive URL, or upload an MP4, MOV or WebM from your phone or computer, and Cliphi scans the whole video for the moments most likely to perform. It analyses speech, energy and engagement signals, surfacing punchlines in podcasts, hype plays in gaming streams, insight drops in interviews and emotional peaks in any format, then scores each moment on viral potential so you know what to post first. Each selected moment becomes a finished vertical clip with word-by-word animated captions, AI-generated background music that ducks under speech, active speaker tracking that keeps faces centred frame by frame, and platform-ready framing. Multi-person podcast footage gets intelligent grid layouts, and you can record a camera reaction or a voiceover straight over any clip, with your words turned into that clip's captions. Creators who want control open the editor to trim timing, swap music, change caption fonts and colours, apply style presets, add intros, outros and thumbnails, build brand presets with logos and templates, drop in cinematic transitions such as Whip, Punch and Glitch, or set canvas backgrounds. Clips render in 9:16, 1:1 and 16:9, so one source covers Shorts, Reels, TikTok, Instagram feed and horizontal YouTube. Cliphi also clips from livestreams while the stream is still live, and can post or schedule directly to connected YouTube, TikTok, Instagram, Facebook, Threads and X accounts. Individual clips usually render in two to five minutes, and long sources such as a two-hour podcast deliver clips progressively rather than all at once. Beyond the core clipper, Cliphi includes ReShort and ReTok for pulling extra clips out of your own Shorts and TikToks, Supercuts for themed highlight reels built without editing, and Cut and Clip for grabbing a single moment instantly. There are unlimited clip ideas with pay-per-render, no watermarks, and every finished clip can be saved. Captions are available in more than 50 languages. The product runs in any browser on phone, tablet or computer and also ships as an Android app on Google Play, while on iPhone the site points users to Safari or any other browser. Files, both sources and finished clips, are stored for 30 days after creation, so exports should be downloaded promptly. Everything runs on credits that never expire, and every plan unlocks every feature, with Explorer at $4.99 per month, Starter at $9.99 and Pro at $29.99. Cliphi positions itself as up to 80% cheaper than competitors such as OpusClip and Kapwing on monthly price, and it asks users to confirm they hold the rights to any video they upload.

Who is Cliphi for?
Cliphi is built for creators and small teams who already own long-form footage and need a constant supply of short clips without hiring an editor. Podcasters are the clearest fit: a weekly two-hour episode becomes a batch of vertical moments with speaker framing and word-by-word captions, ready for TikTok, Reels and Shorts the same day. Streamers on Twitch, Kick and YouTube use it because Cliphi clips from livestreams while the stream is still live, so hype plays and funny moments ship before the VOD goes cold. Gaming channels, interview shows and tutorial creators get the same benefit from the virality score, which ranks moments so the strongest clip goes out first instead of the first one on the timeline. Social media managers and agency teams run multiple client channels and need volume with consistent branding, which is where style presets, brand presets with logos and templates, and direct posting or scheduling to connected accounts matter more than frame-level editing. Solo founders, coaches and course sellers who record long webinars or talking-head sessions can repurpose one recording across every platform in an afternoon. Cliphi also suits creators who dislike editing software: the default output is post-ready, and the editor is optional polish rather than a required step. Because it runs in any browser and has an Android app on Google Play, it works for people who cut clips on a phone between other tasks, including mobile-first TikTok and Reels accounts that never open a desktop. Budget-conscious operators are a further fit: at $4.99 a month for the Explorer tier, Cliphi costs less than most competitors' entry plans while still bundling every feature, so a channel testing short-form for the first time can start without a big commitment. It is less suited to editors who want manual timeline control, advanced colour work or multi-track compositing, to teams already deep in a full creative suite, and to anyone who needs to process copyrighted video they do not own.
