RepostitBest AI Clip Makers in 2026: 5 Tools Compared (Free and Paid)
· 4 min read
An AI clip maker takes a long video (a podcast, an interview, a stream) and cuts it into short vertical clips for TikTok, Instagram Reels and YouTube Shorts. They all find highlights; they differ in price per minute, watermarks on the free plan, editing depth and whether they also post the clips for you. Here are the five worth comparing, with prices checked on each tool’s own pricing page in November 2026.

How to choose an AI clip maker
- Price per minute, not per month. A podcaster with four one-hour episodes a month needs about 240 minutes. Compare what each plan gives you for that.
- Watermark on the free plan. Test clips with a watermark can’t go out as they are.
- How the clips get posted. Making clips is half the job. A tool that schedules them to TikTok, Reels and Shorts saves the other half.
- Editing depth. If you need animated captions, B-roll and brand templates inside the clipper, pay for the bigger editors.
1. Repostit Clips
Repostit Clips takes a YouTube link, finds the strongest moments, cuts them into vertical 1080 × 1920 clips and gives each a score, so you post the best ones first. Clipping can be automatic or manual. Send a clip to the calendar, pick a day and an app, and Repostit publishes it, sized for each app with your caption and hashtags.
Pricing: 10 videos or 100 minutes free, with no watermark. Then Basic $8.25 a month for 300 minutes, Pro $16.58 for 700 minutes, Premium $41.58 for 1,500 minutes (yearly prices).
Good to know: it works from YouTube links, so upload local recordings to YouTube first (unlisted is fine). The same account can also repost every new TikTok to Instagram Reels, YouTube Shorts and Facebook automatically.

The best-known AI clipper, with a virality score, animated captions in 20+ languages, filler and silence removal and auto-posting to YouTube Shorts, TikTok and Reels on paid plans.

Starter is $15 a month for 150 credits; Pro is $14.50 a month billed yearly for 3,600 credits a year. Comparing the two directly? See OpusClip alternatives.
