Twitch streams are 16:9. YouTube Shorts are 9:16, and a plain center crop cuts off whatever happened at the edge of the screen. This tool crops the clip to vertical while tracking where the action is, then burns in captions and your branding before export.
- 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, all handled in your browser. You don't need an account, and the export carries 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 before export.
Channel branding
Drop in your logo and handle and pick a corner. Both are burned into the Short, so a repost still carries your name.
Export and post
Download the MP4 and open YouTube to publish your Short. The same file works if you want a Twitch clip on TikTok or Reels.
Auto-captions from the clip's audio
A lot of people scroll Shorts with the sound off, and a clip with no captions loses them in the first second. The tool reads your clip's audio in the browser and writes word-timed captions. Every line stays editable, so you can fix a misheard name before you export.
- On-device transcription, so 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
Each genre puts the action somewhere different. FPS framing holds the crosshair, MOBA framing sits lower to catch the fight around your champion, and battle royale and racing follow the motion.

No editing timeline to learn. Paste a Twitch clip and the tool handles the reframe, branding and captions.
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, trim the moment you want, then upload the .mp4 here. The tool reframes it 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 and click Load. The tool reframes it to 9:16. Click Auto-caption, add your logo if you want one, then export the MP4 and upload it to YouTube as a Short. It all runs in your browser.
How does the auto-caption work?
It reads the clip's own audio in your browser with an on-device speech model. The first run downloads the model, and after that 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 above the gameplay. With Split off, the AI tracker follows the on-screen action for the detected game.
Is this a free YouTube Shorts maker?
Yes. This converter is a free browser tool for streamers. It turns a Twitch clip 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 for TikTok and Instagram Reels. Pick 9:16 (or 4:5 or 1:1), export the MP4, and upload it wherever you post.
Is it really free?
Yes. The tool is free, needs no login, and your clip stays on your device. Creating an Eklipse account is free too; the full Eklipse clipping product is a paid subscription.
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 links. 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, by uploading it. 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 one clip into one vertical Short. To cut a whole stream into highlights automatically, use Eklipse AI Highlights, which finds the moments for you, then reframes and captions each one.
Stop clipping Shorts by hand. Let Eklipse find them in your stream.
This tool converts a clip you already made. Eklipse AI Highlights starts a step earlier: it scans your whole Twitch stream and pulls out the best moments, and Eklipse Studio turns them into captioned vertical Shorts.
