Your stream is 16:9; Shorts, TikTok and Reels are 9:16. This free tool does the convert for you: it crops a Twitch clip to vertical, tracks the action so the play stays in frame, and bakes in captions and your branding. One export, ready to post.
- AI reframe keeps the kill, clutch or reaction centered
- Auto-captions pulled straight from the clip's audio
- Your branding burned in — logo and channel handle
- MP4 export sized for YouTube Shorts, TikTok and Reels
Everything a YouTube Shorts maker should
Four jobs, handled in your browser — no account, no upload, no watermark.
AI vertical reframe
Auto-detects the game and tracks the action so your Valorant ace or League teamfight stays framed at 9:16, 4:5 or 1:1.
Auto-captions from audio
Transcribes the clip's own audio on-device into word-timed captions you can edit — the boost most Shorts and TikToks need to land.
Channel branding
Drop in your logo and handle, pick a corner, and it's burned into the Short so every repost points back to you.
Export and post
Download an MP4 and open YouTube to publish your Short — the same file works for a Twitch clip to TikTok or Reels.
Auto-captions from the clip's audio
Most Shorts are watched on mute, so captions are what stop the scroll. This tool reads your Twitch clip's audio right in the browser and writes word-timed captions for you — then every line stays editable, so you fix a name or trim a filler word in seconds.
- On-device transcription — your audio never leaves the browser
- Editable timeline: change text or retime any line
- Bold, high-contrast caption style tuned for vertical video
Framing tuned for your game
FPS, MOBA, battle royale, racing — the reframe centers on what matters for each genre, so the clip reads on a phone screen.
Clip in, Short out
No editor, no timeline. Paste a Twitch clip and the tool does the vertical reframe, branding and captions for you.
Add the clip
Paste a Twitch clip link or upload a file.
AI reframe
It crops to vertical and follows the action for the game it detects.
Brand + caption
Add your logo and name; auto-caption pulls text from the audio.
Export + upload
Download the MP4 and open YouTube to publish it as a Short.
Make YouTube Shorts from a stream VOD (Twitch, YouTube, or Kick)
Only have the full stream? Download the VOD with the Eklipse VOD Downloader, then upload the .mp4 here. The tool reframes your Twitch, YouTube, or Kick livestream moment into a vertical YouTube Short, with captions and branding baked in.
Twitch clip to Short, answered
How do I turn a Twitch clip into a YouTube Short?
Paste the Twitch clip link, let the tool reframe it to 9:16 and auto-caption it, add your logo, then export the MP4 and upload it to YouTube as a Short. The whole thing runs in your browser — no account, no watermark.
How does the auto-caption work?
It reads the clip's own audio right in your browser using an on-device speech model (the first run downloads the model, then it's cached). You get word-timed captions you can edit, retime or delete before exporting.
Does the reframe keep my facecam in shot?
Yes. Turn on Split, then drag a box over your facecam on the source preview — the Short stacks your facecam over the gameplay. Otherwise the AI tracker follows the on-screen action for the detected game.
Is this a free YouTube Shorts maker?
Yes — it's a free YouTube Shorts maker aimed at streamers. It takes a Twitch clip and turns it into a vertical Short with AI reframing, auto-captions and your branding, with no account and no watermark.
Can I use it to convert a Twitch clip to TikTok or Reels?
Yes. The same vertical export works as a Twitch clip to TikTok converter and for Instagram Reels — pick 9:16 (or 4:5 / 1:1), export the MP4, and upload it wherever you post.
Is it really free?
Yes. The tool is free, needs no login, and nothing is uploaded — your clip stays on your device. Eklipse is free to sign up for; the full AI Suite is a paid product.
What format does it export?
A vertical MP4 where your browser supports it, otherwise WebM — both upload to YouTube Shorts. Keep the tab focused while it records.
Can I use a YouTube or TikTok link as the source?
No — browsers can't read those. For Twitch VODs, use the Eklipse VOD Downloader first, then upload the file here.
How do I make a YouTube Short from a Twitch VOD or stream?
Download the VOD with the Eklipse VOD Downloader, then upload the .mp4 here. The tool reframes your stream moment to 9:16, auto-captions it, and exports a YouTube Short. It works the same for a Twitch, YouTube, or Kick VOD.
Can I turn a YouTube or Kick clip into a Short?
Yes, through upload. Browsers can't read a YouTube or TikTok link directly, so save the clip as an .mp4 first, then upload it here and the tool reframes it into a vertical Short.
Can I cut a long clip into a short highlight?
This tool reframes a single clip into a vertical Short. To auto-cut a whole stream into short highlights, use the Eklipse AI Suite, which finds the moments for you, then reframes and captions each one.
