Features
AI Clip Selection for Reels
AutoClip's AI identifies the highest-engagement moments from any YouTube video — the hooks, emotional peaks, and punchlines that drive Reels views and follows.
9:16 Reframe for Instagram
Every clip is automatically converted to Instagram Reels' vertical format. Smart cropping keeps the important action in frame without any manual trimming.
Captions that Drive Engagement
Auto-generated word-level captions are styled and burned into each Reel. Captions boost watch time and accessibility — AutoClip applies them automatically.
Auto-Post to Instagram Reels
Connect your Instagram account once. AutoClip posts every converted Reel directly, no manual uploads needed.

AutoClip extracts the best moments, converts each one to 9:16 vertical format, and adds captions — optimized for Instagram Reels performance.
