How to turn a long video into short clips

Four steps from one long-form upload to a set of platform-ready shorts.

How to

Upload your long-form video

Upload a video at least 10 minutes long, and let AI analyze it for strong, standalone moments.

Turn long videos into shorts with AI

Upload a long-form video and let AI find the moments worth turning into short-form content. Picsart works with spoken videos and footage without speech, analyzing the full timeline to build standalone clips with clean starts and endings. For speech, cuts follow complete thoughts and filter weak intros or generic outros.

Your creative toolkit for clips that feel finished

Shape every clip around where and how you plan to share it. Choose vertical, landscape, square, or original formatting, then add word-timed captions when speech is available. Pick from 101 caption presets, create an opening title, and choose an AI backdrop, AI thumbnail, or frozen frame. Keep editing your clips in the same workflow.

Convert one video into clip-farming content

Turn one upload into several short videos for a clip-farming workflow. Choose the number and approximate length of clips, then let AI process the full video in one run. Pricing is based on the uploaded video rather than each output, so one clip or twelve costs the same for the same source video.

Create viral short-form clips for YouTube, TikTok, Instagram, and more

Adapt one long video into short-form content for YouTube Shorts, TikTok, Instagram Reels, and other social platforms. Picsart identifies self-contained moments that can make sense outside the original video, then adds suggested hooks, titles, descriptions, hashtags, thumbnail headlines, platform recommendations, and performance scores to help you prepare each clip for publishing.

Refine every AI-generated clip in one place

Keep refining every AI-generated clip without switching tools. Adjust captions, timing, visuals, opening frames, and other creative details in the same workflow where your clips are generated. Review the result, make your changes, and export your finished clip when it's ready to publish.

Create clips for campaigns with Picsart Earn

Connect your clip-farming workflow with eligible earning opportunities through Picsart Earn. Start from an Earn campaign, upload a source video that meets the 10-minute minimum, and create clips around the campaign brief. Required hashtags, @mentions, and caption lines can be carried into the output so submissions stay aligned with advertiser requirements.

Repurpose more types of long-form video

Start from the footage you already have, then let AI build the short-form versions around it.

Turn content into clip-farming assets

Turn one long-form upload into multiple short videos for your own social channels or eligible Picsart Earn campaigns. Choose the clip count and length you need, then review and make further edits without switching to another tool.
