⚠️ This is a long file — decoded audio scales with length rather than file size, so very long files (over ~30 minutes) may be slow or use a lot of memory on this device.

Why audio needs a video wrapper on video-first platforms

Reels, TikTok, and Shorts are all built around a scrolling video feed — an audio-only file has nowhere to go on any of them. Wrapping a clip in a moving waveform and cover art gives it something to actually show, turning a purely audio moment into something that fits the format these platforms expect, without needing any real video footage of the conversation itself. Captions add a second layer on top of that: a large share of video is watched with the sound off, especially while scrolling, so a captioned clip can land even when nobody's listening yet — the text alone might be what stops someone's thumb mid-scroll in the first place.

Frequently asked questions

Is this podcast clip maker really free?

Yes, completely free with no sign-up and no watermark by default.

What size video does it make?

A vertical 9:16 video, sized for Reels, TikTok, and YouTube Shorts.

How do captions get generated?

An AI speech-recognition model runs locally in your browser to transcribe the trimmed audio, so no audio is ever uploaded anywhere for this to work.

Can I edit the captions after they're generated?

Yes — each caption line is editable, so you can fix any transcription mistakes or adjust the wording before rendering the final video.

Does my audio get uploaded anywhere?

No. Everything happens locally in your browser — nothing is sent to a server.
