Frequently asked questions
Are the zones pixel-exact?
No, they're close approximations of the current layouts. TikTok, Instagram and YouTube all nudge their UI a few pixels every release, and caption zones grow when captions get long. Treat the overlay as a guide and leave yourself some margin.
Is my video uploaded anywhere?
No. The tool runs entirely in your browser. Not a single frame or byte of your video reaches our servers, and you can confirm that yourself in the browser's network tab.
My clip is 16:9. What will the platforms do to it?
They'll letterbox it (bars above and below) or crop it, depending on the platform and the viewer's screen. The tool letterboxes your file inside a 9:16 frame, which is roughly what viewers will get.
Want the clips made for you?
These tools polish clips you already have. Clipzing is the part that makes them. Paste a YouTube link and you get vertical clips back, captioned and ready to post. Plans start at $8.33/mo. Cancel anytime.
