What is this tool?
Podcasts, interviews, lessons and product walkthroughs are what this is built for: vertical clips selected, reframed, captioned and scheduled without opening an editor. Cost is set by clip volume alone: 100, 300 or 1,000 clips a month at $14, $39 or $94 billed yearly, and one free video lets you judge the output before paying. The constraint to weigh first is the input — selection works from the transcript, so footage without much speech has nothing for it to cut on.

Paste a YouTube link or upload a file, and Klap transcribes it, picks the passages it thinks will hold attention and returns them as a stack of vertical clips. Each one arrives already reframed around the speaker and subtitled. The editor is where you tighten a cut, swap fonts and colours, drop in a logo or change the framing before exporting or sending a clip straight to a connected account — which means the work you do is review rather than assembly, and the time it takes depends on how often you disagree with the selection rather than on the length of the source.
The subscription is sized by clips generated per month rather than by upload minutes, and the current pricing page prints only that allowance, the three prices in their yearly-billed state and a shared feature line. What it no longer prints is the upload counts, length caps, export resolution and dubbing the June 2026 page carried, so confirm any of those with the vendor before relying on them. The privacy policy, last updated in August 2026, names the third-party models that process footage and a 30-day deletion window, but is silent on who owns the clips and on commercial use.
Is this right for you?
Quick fit check against how you actually work.
Choose this if
- Your source material is spoken: podcasts, interviews, courses, webinars or product walkthroughs, on YouTube or as MP4, MOV or WebM files
- You want clips reframed, captioned and posted to your social accounts from one place instead of exporting to a separate scheduler
- You can size a subscription by clip volume, since the three tiers differ mainly in their monthly clip allowance
- You run an agency or product that needs clip generation automated through an API, with sub-users and an embedded editor
Consider alternatives if
- Your videos have little or no speech, such as music, b-roll or silent gameplay, because Klap's selection relies on speech detection
- You need a standing free tier: Klap offers one free video to try and its pricing page lists only paid plans
- You need a printed maximum source length, upload count or export resolution before buying, since the current pricing page prints only clips per month
- You need the vendor's written position on ownership of the generated clips or on commercial use, which the privacy policy does not address
- You want to pay month to month and know that price in advance: only the yearly-billed rate is printed
Key features
What you can actually do with this tool.
Speech-led clip selection
The AI reads the transcript to find self-contained topics and cuts them into clips, which is why the vendor points it at podcasts, interviews, educational videos, product reviews and trainings. Judge fit by how much of your footage is talk.
Klap's own virality score, for triage
Klap attaches its own score for viral potential to every clip. Treat it as the vendor's ranking signal for deciding which cuts to watch first in a batch of a hundred, not as evidence that a clip will travel; the editor then offers transcript editing and speaker tracking for the ones you keep.
Automatic reframing to vertical
Landscape footage is cropped to 9:16 with the main subject kept in view, and the June 2026 site described AI Reframe 2 as choosing a layout per scene, such as split screen, screencast or gaming, rather than a single centre crop.
Subtitles in 52 languages with your own styling
Transcription and animated subtitles cover 52 listed languages, and fonts, colours, logos and framing can be set to match a brand before export.
Publishing and scheduling from inside the app
Finished clips go directly to TikTok, YouTube, Instagram and LinkedIn, and every plan allows unlimited connected social accounts, so a small team can run several channels from one account.
A REST API with an embeddable editor
The same pipeline is exposed at api.klap.app/v2 with a bearer key: video-to-shorts from a file or public YouTube URL, captions in over 100 languages, reframing, timecoded transcripts, and managed sub-users who can use the Klap editor inside your product.

Frequently asked
Common questions about this tool, answered.
Can I try Klap without paying?
Yes, for one video: the vendor states you can create 1 video for free with no credit card required. There is no free plan on the pricing page, so continuing beyond that first video means the Basic tier at $14 a month billed yearly.
Is the API part of a normal subscription?
Not stated. The API page documents the endpoints, the bearer-key authentication and a key obtained from the account dashboard at klap.app/rest-api, and links to docs.klap.app, but it prints no price, quota or plan requirement, and the pricing page does not list API access under any tier. Ask the vendor before building on it.
Who processes my footage, and for how long do they keep it?
According to the privacy policy dated 25 August 2026, your footage is processed by OpenAI Whisper, Hugging Face Idefics and OpenAI GPT-3.5 via API for transcription and content curation, those models do not retain the data they process, your data is stored at Supabase, and deletion requests are handled within 30 days. The policy gives no video-specific retention period and does not say who owns the resulting clips.
