Best for cutting long videos into vertical clips
Klap takes a long video, finds topics and turns them into captioned vertical clips you can post to TikTok, YouTube, Instagram, LinkedIn and Facebook. The free trial covers one video with no downloads, and plans are capped at 100, 300 or 1,000 clips a month.
Who Klap is for
- Fits if you turn podcasts or long talks into short clips for social
- Works for creators who want clips scheduled to several networks from one place
Who Klap is not for
- Tight if you want to stay free: the trial covers 1 video and you can't download or post
- Skip it if your video has no speech, as the tool works on spoken content
- Pricey if you need volume, with Pro+ at $94.50 a month for 1,000 clips
- Watch out: the API is billed separately at $0.44 per input video, $0.32 per short and $0.48 per export
- Watch out: source videos run up to 3 hours, and clip counts reset every billing period

Keep Klap, or make your own?
Keep it
To replace Klap you would be making a video editor. That is not a weekend's work, with an AI app builder or without one.
That makes this kind of software worth paying for, not this one in particular: 68 of the 133 other screen recording and video tools grade higher. It costs $174 a year.
What you could not
- A video editor.
- Speech turned into text you can trust.
- It plugs into other products, TikTok, YouTube and Instagram among them, and has an API.
- AI features, unless you pay a model provider for each request yourself.
What this rests on. Klap’s listing: what it does, where it runs, what it plugs into and what it costs. It is a judgement about the kind of software this is. We have not built a replacement for it, and making your own means looking after it too. How we decide, and every tool’s verdict.
What is Klap?
Klap takes a long video, from a file or a YouTube link, and uses AI to pick topics, reframe them vertically, add captions and score each short clip for its chance of spreading. Clips can be edited, scheduled and published to TikTok, YouTube, Instagram, LinkedIn and Facebook. Plans are priced by clips generated per month.
Worth knowing
- The free trial covers one video you can preview and edit; downloading and posting clips needs a paid plan.
- Clip limits reset each billing period: 100, 300 or 1,000 clips on Basic, Pro and Pro+.
- The API is billed separately at $0.44 per input video, $0.32 per short and $0.48 per export.
- Source videos can run up to 3 hours, and the tool works on videos with speech.
Key features
- AI clipping
- Finds the main topics in a long video and cuts them into short clips, each with a virality score; a one-minute video yields about 5 clips.
- Reframing

- Captions and editing
- Animated captions in 99+ languages, plus an editor with b-roll, hook titles, and custom fonts, colors, logos and framing.
- Scheduling and publishing
- Post or schedule clips on TikTok, YouTube, Instagram, LinkedIn and Facebook, with unlimited social accounts and post analytics.
- Self-serve API
- A separate API is priced per input video, per short and per export, and Klap also lists an MCP server and Zapier, Make and n8n integrations.
