How it works
1
Upload your recorded video
Upload any MP4 with clear spoken content — a recorded talk, a coaching session, a lesson, a conversation. Up to 500 MB and 10 minutes. No account required.
2
AI finds hook-first moments and strong takes
The AI reads the full transcript and selects moments that open with a strong claim, a surprising statement, or a self-contained hook — the structure that tends to hold attention on TikTok without a warm-up.
3
Export with vertical format and burned-in captions
Select Vertical 9:16 export and the Viral subtitle style. Clips are exported in 1080×1920 with large bold captions burned directly into the video file — no separate subtitle file needed.
4
Post directly to TikTok
Download your clip files and upload to TikTok. The format, captions, and clip length are already matched to TikTok's feed — no further editing required.
TikTok rewards consistency and hooks above everything else. The algorithm favors creators who post frequently, and it rewards clips that hold attention in the first two to three seconds — not production quality, not editing sophistication. If the first sentence of a clip is strong enough to prevent a scroll, the clip has a chance to perform. That is why raw, high-content recordings often outperform polished studio videos on TikTok.
AI Clip Maker finds the moments in your recordings that have that hook quality — a surprising statement, a strong opinion opened with a direct claim, a counterintuitive take, or the most interesting part of a story placed right at the start. It uses Whisper to transcribe the audio and GPT to evaluate each section of the transcript for standalone value and hook strength. The clips it returns are the moments most likely to hold attention without surrounding context.
Export your clips in vertical 9:16 format with viral-style burned-in captions. Captions matter on TikTok: a significant share of TikTok scrolling happens in silent or low-sound environments, and captions keep viewers engaged who would otherwise skip. The viral subtitle style burns large, high-contrast captions directly into the video file — ready to upload without any additional editing.
Frequently asked questions
Does this download from TikTok?
No — you upload your own MP4 files. This tool cuts clips from videos you already own. It does not download from TikTok or any external platform.
What makes a clip work on TikTok?
A strong hook in the first 2–3 seconds, a clear self-contained idea, and captions. The AI selects moments that open with something specific and interesting — not with an introduction or preamble.
Should I use the viral subtitle style for TikTok?
Yes — large bold captions are standard on TikTok and keep viewers watching when sound is low or off. Select the Viral subtitle style before generating to burn captions directly into the clip file.
How short should TikTok clips be?
20–40 seconds is a good target for most educational or personal brand TikTok content. Very punchy moments — a strong one-liner, a counterintuitive statement — can be effective even shorter.
What types of content make good TikToks from recordings?
Educational tips, strong opinions, personal stories, counterintuitive takes, and answer-first explanations tend to perform well. Content that opens with the most interesting part — not a warm-up — works best on TikTok.
