Shortyard turns long videos into short vertical clips with captions. Paste a YouTube link or upload a file and you get 3 to 15 clips, ranked best first, with no watermark.
It is made by a small team that builds focused web tools. We started it because the open-source OpenShorts clipper is good, but running it yourself means Docker, API keys and a machine that stays on, and the free clips from hosted clippers we tried all carried a watermark.
How the free plan is paid for
The clips are made by the open-source OpenShorts engine (MIT licence), running on GPUs we rent by the second. They switch off when nobody is clipping. One video a day costs us a few cents, so we can give it away without a watermark. People who clip every day pay for Plus, Pro or a top-up, and that pays for the rest.
Independent
openshorts.org is an independent site run by the Shortyard team. It is not the official OpenShorts, and it is not affiliated with, endorsed by or connected to OpenShorts, openshorts.app or the project’s authors. We run the MIT-licensed OpenShorts code on our own servers, and we name it because many people look for a way to use it without installing anything. The official project is on GitHub and its own cloud service is at openshorts.app.
