Klap helps you make and edit video by cutting a long video into short clips shaped for a phone screen, with captions on them, ready for TikTok, Reels and Shorts. It is best for podcasters, coaches and social media managers who publish long videos every week and need short clips without editing each one by hand.
What it does
You paste a YouTube link or upload a file. Klap finds the parts it thinks are worth clipping, cuts them to the tall shape a phone screen uses, keeps the speaker’s face in frame so nobody gets cut off at the edge, and writes captions on top. It also suggests a caption to post with each clip. You can change fonts, colors, logos and framing, then download the clips or schedule them to TikTok, YouTube, Instagram and LinkedIn. Klap says it edits and transcribes in 52 languages, and that one minute of original video usually produces about five clips.

Editorial note
Klap takes one long video and gives you back several short clips shaped for a phone screen, with the captions already printed onto the video, so you can post them without opening an editor.
Who it’s for
- For: podcasters, coaches and social media managers who publish long videos every week and need short clips without editing each one by hand.
- Not ideal for: people who need a free tool they can keep using. Klap’s free tier covers one video and will not let you download the clips. If you want a free route, our CapCut and OpusClip pages show what each one includes.
Key use cases
- Video & avatars
What you can do with it
- Getting started: Klap lets you try one video free with no credit card. You can watch and edit the clips it makes, but you need a paid plan to download or post them. Handy when you want to try it before you pay.
- Basic plan: 100 clips a month. Handy when you need more room.
- Pro plan: 300 clips a month. Handy when you need more room.
- Help documentation: Official pricing and product pages at klap.app. Handy when you set it up yourself.
How to use Klap: step-by-step tutorial
Five to eight steps from the account to a first useful result. Where the official guide names a control, the step uses that name. Where it does not, the step stays general.
- Go to klap.app and start the free try-out. No card is needed for the first video.
- Paste a YouTube link or upload a file. Klap works best on video where someone is talking: podcasts, interviews, lessons, reviews.
- Wait for Klap to pick the moments and cut them. It says a few minutes for a normal video.
- Watch each clip. Trim the start and end if a clip begins mid-sentence. This is the step most people skip, and it is the one that decides whether a clip is any good.
- Fix names and numbers in the captions by hand. Automatic captions get those wrong most often.
- Pick a plan and download, or connect your social accounts and schedule the posts.
These steps follow the official guide: Klap homepage.

Frequently asked questions
What is Klap?
A tool that turns one long video into several short clips shaped for a phone screen, with captions on them, for TikTok, Instagram Reels and YouTube Shorts, per Klap.
Is Klap free?
You can try one video free without a credit card and edit the clips it makes, but downloading and posting need a paid plan, checked October 30, 2026.
How much does Klap cost?
Klap's price card rounds down. Billed yearly, Basic shows $14 a month but you are charged $174 a year, which is $14.50 a month, for 100 clips. Pro shows $39 a month but costs $474 a year ($39.50 a month) for 300 clips. Pro+ shows $94 a month but costs $1,134 a year ($94.50 a month) for 1,000 clips. Paying month to month, the plans are $29, $79 and $189 a month, which comes to $348, $948 and $2,268 over a year. Checked October 30, 2026.
What counts as a clip?
One finished short video. A one-minute original video usually produces about five clips, so 100 clips is roughly 20 minutes of source video a month on Basic.
Which videos work best?
Videos with someone speaking. Klap says it relies on speech detection, so podcasts, interviews, lessons and product reviews work better than music or scenery.

- Limits: Klap’s pricing page says you only pay for clips you generate, so the allowance is used up when clips are made rather than when you post them. The price card shows the yearly rate first, rounded down to the dollar. Paying month to month costs exactly twice as much: $348 a year for Basic against $174 billed yearly, which is why Klap labels yearly billing Save 50%.
- Plans change: prices and limits get updated, so check the official page before you buy.
