What is 2short?

2short is a repurposing tool that turns long videos, podcasts and webinars into vertical clips for TikTok, Reels and YouTube Shorts. You paste a YouTube link or upload a file, and it returns a set of candidate moments with animated captions, framing that follows the speaker, and small touches such as emoji and overlays. It leans on speed and volume over fine control, with bulk export and a handful of styling presets. Compared with heavier repurposing suites it is cheaper and simpler, which is its main argument for creators publishing short clips every day.

FAQ

Do I need to upload the whole video?

You can paste a link for supported platforms, and the service fetches it, or upload a file directly. Links are the faster route for anything already published, though platform restrictions occasionally block the fetch.

How do the clip choices compare with manual editing?

Worse than a careful human and better than nothing. It reliably finds sentence boundaries but often picks setup lines instead of payoffs, so most people review the batch and keep a minority.

Can I change the captions?

Yes. Captions are editable text overlays, so wording, timing, font and colour can all be adjusted, and presets let you apply one house style across every clip in a batch.
