A capable web editor for scheduled social clips, with limited source length on Starter.
Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Oct 2026
Shorts.io is a web-based AI video repurposing tool for creators, teams, agencies, and video editors. It accepts video files or YouTube links, identifies key moments in long-form videos, generates captions, and produces short-form clips. Editing includes manual trimming, automatic video editing, smart auto-cropping, caption customization, B-rolls, effects, backgrounds, music, templates, and branding elements. It also supports AI-generated faceless videos from scripts or ideas, giving creators more than one route to short-form production.
Pricing is structured around monthly output and source length. Starter costs $19 per month and includes 20 videos per month, one-minute maximum shorts, 30-minute maximum imports, no watermark, AI auto captions, and manual trimming. Creator costs $29 per month, raises output to 50 videos per month, supports two-minute shorts and one-hour imports, and keeps the same no-watermark, caption, and trimming features. Team costs $59 per month, includes unlimited videos, supports three-minute videos and two-hour imports, and retains those core features. There is no free plan, so occasional users must pay to access the product.
Shorts.io fits creators who want AI-assisted editing combined with branding, publishing, and scheduling for TikTok, YouTube, and Instagram. Its web delivery keeps the workflow focused on browser-based production, while templates and customizable captions support repeatable content. The main constraint is scale at the entry tier: a 30-minute import limit, 20 monthly videos, and one-minute shorts may not suit longer recordings or high-volume publishing. Creator or Team is a more suitable fit when longer source videos, longer clips, or greater monthly capacity matter. Choose an alternative if you need a free plan or a workflow beyond the listed web and social-platform setup.
