Video splitter: cut a long video into clips

Paste YouTube links and choose a quality for each video. Videos are processed one at a time in a queue, cut wherever the scene changes, and kept in one folder per video.

About Split clips

Split clips is an automatic video splitter. Paste YouTube links and the server downloads each video, finds the scene changes, and cuts the video into shorter clips at those points, so every clip starts where something new begins. Results are kept in one folder per video.

You can also cut only the minutes you choose. Add one or several “from – to” parts per video; only those minutes are downloaded and split, which is faster and can bring a very large video under your plan’s file-size limit.

How to split a video into clips

Good to know

Frequently asked questions

How does it decide where to cut?

It analyses the picture (and the sound, for videos that are not extremely long) to find scene changes, then cuts the video at those points.

How long does splitting take?

It depends on the length and quality of the video and on how busy the queue is. The page shows live progress and a time estimate; lower qualities finish much faster.

Can I split just a section of a video?

Yes. Add one or more “from – to” parts. Only those minutes are downloaded and split.

Do I need an account?

Yes, a free account is enough. Split clips are private to your account and count towards your plan’s limits: free accounts get one split every 24 hours for videos up to 10 minutes, Pro is unlimited.

Where do my clips go?

Each video gets its own folder on the Split clips page, grouped by quality and part. Folders expire after 72 hours.
