FAQ
Klap frequently asked questions
Is Klap free?
Klap offers a limited free plan with a few exports per month so you can test turning a YouTube video into shorts. Higher export volume, watermark-free clips, and premium features require a paid plan starting around $29/mo.
How much does Klap cost?
Paid plans start near $29/mo and scale up for more monthly exports, longer source videos, and team features. Annual billing is cheaper than monthly, and the free plan caps you at roughly three exports per month for testing.
How does Klap turn YouTube videos into shorts?
You paste a YouTube link, Klap's AI transcribes the video, finds the most engaging segments, reframes them to vertical, and adds animated captions. You can tweak the selections and caption style before exporting to TikTok, Reels, or Shorts.
Is Klap better than Opus Clip?
They're close competitors for AI clip generation. Opus Clip has a longer track record and a virality score, while Klap emphasizes fast YouTube-to-short conversion and caption styling. Both offer free tiers, so test each on your own footage before deciding.
