What is this tool?

Captions come first with 2short.ai: it only processes videos that have them, and its published list of 26 languages does not include Hindi. If your long videos clear both checks, it cuts them into shorts without hand-editing, and because every plan has every feature, choosing a paid plan comes down to hours: 5, 15 or 50 hours of analysis a month.

Read full overview

The input is a YouTube link, or on paid plans a Google Drive file or public URL, and the AI reads the video's speech to pick moments worth clipping. You then adjust the crop, subtitle style and brand preset, and export vertical clips ready to post. The work it saves is the scrubbing through an hour of footage to find the good minute.

Is this right for you?

Quick fit check against how you actually work.

Choose this if
  • You publish long, talk-driven videos with captions and want shorts cut from them automatically
  • Your source videos live on Google Drive or behind a public URL as well as on YouTube
Consider alternatives if
  • Your videos lack captions, or are in Hindi or another language missing from the published list of 26
  • You want yearly billing: the pricing page shows monthly prices only
  • You need editing beyond clipping, cropping and subtitles

Key features

What you can actually do with this tool.

The same features on every plan

2short.ai gives every plan full access to its features; exports are 1080p without a watermark on all of them. Lite and above remove ads and add imports from Google Drive and public URLs.

Analysis hours are the meter

Lite includes 5 hours of AI analysis and 60 minutes of fast server-side exports a month, Pro 15 hours with unlimited fast exports, and Premium 50 hours.

Captions are a requirement

Only videos with captions can be processed. YouTube adds automatic captions to most videos, but an upload without captions will not work.

26 listed languages

The supported-language list names 26 languages. Hindi is not among them.

Frequently asked

Common questions about this tool, answered.

How much can I do on the free plan?

The amount is not settled: the pricing page gives the free Starter plan 30 minutes of AI video analysis a month on its plan card, and 15 minutes, with no period, in a paragraph further down. Since the two readings disagree, neither is a reliable basis for sizing ongoing use until 2short.ai reconciles them.
