Klap

Klap is an AI clip maker that turns long videos into short, captioned vertical clips for TikTok, Reels and YouTube Shorts with one link and a few clicks. It is aimed at creators, podcasters and marketing teams who publish long content and want a steady stream of short posts without editing each one by hand.

What is Klap used for?

Klap repurposes long recordings. It listens for topics, picks the strongest moments, and packages them as ready-to-post shorts.

• Finding the most interesting segments in YouTube videos, podcasts, interviews and webinars
• Cutting clips into 9:16 vertical format with AI reframing that follows the speaker
• Choosing layouts such as split screen, screencast or gaming with AI Reframe 2
• Adding animated captions and suggested post captions, with a virality score per clip
• Applying brand fonts, colors and logos
• Publishing and scheduling to TikTok, YouTube, Instagram and LinkedIn, or automating through the API, MCP server, Zapier, Make and n8n

Who Klap is best for

Klap suits YouTubers, podcasters, coaches, educators and agencies that produce talking-head or interview content every week. Its API helps agencies and tools that clip at scale. Videos that rely on music, action or visuals without speech get less from Klap, since its selection depends heavily on speech detection.

Klap pricing

As of October 2026, you can try Klap free on one video with no credit card; downloading and posting clips requires a paid plan. Basic costs $14 per month billed yearly ($29 month to month) for 100 clips a month. Pro costs $39 per month yearly ($79 monthly) for 300 clips, and Pro+ costs $94 per month yearly ($189 monthly) for 1,000 clips. All plans include AI clipping, unlimited social accounts and analytics, and paid exports carry no Klap branding. Larger volumes and API usage can be discussed with the team.

Limitations to keep in mind

• The free try covers one video and does not include downloads
• Clip selection relies on speech, so music videos and silent footage are weak inputs
• Virality scores are estimates, not guarantees of performance
• Monthly clip caps mean heavy users need the higher tiers

Klap vs alternatives

OpusClip is the best-known alternative, with similar clipping, captions and scoring, plus a larger feature set for teams. Vizard adds a fuller editor for people who want to adjust clips more after generation. Munch Studio leans into marketing insights and trend data for brands. Submagic is stronger on caption styles and effects for clips you already have. Klap wins on simplicity and predictable per-clip pricing, plus its API and automation options.

Tips for getting started with Klap

Use your free try on a recent video with clear speech and a single strong topic so you see Klap at its best. Set up a brand template before generating clips so you do not restyle each one. Review the top-scored clips first, but check the lower-scored ones too, since your audience may react differently than the score predicts.
