Free Snazo alternative · no watermark
The free Snazo alternative with no watermark
Paste a YouTube link and get 3–15 vertical clips with captions, ready for TikTok, Reels and Shorts. One video a day is free (up to 30 minutes), no sign-up. Plus is $7.99/month.
How it works
Three steps. Nothing to install.
Paste a link or upload a file
Podcasts, interviews, streams and talks work best: anything where people talk. Public YouTube videos work as links; anything else, upload the file.
We find the best moments
The whole video is transcribed, and an AI model reads the transcript for the 3–15 moments that make sense on their own: a strong opening line, a story with an ending, a clear take.
Download and post
MP4 files, 1080×1920, cropped around whoever is talking, captions burned in, no watermark, with a title and caption written for TikTok, Reels and Shorts.
No catch
Why free, and why no watermark?
We run the open-source OpenShorts engine (MIT licence) on GPUs we rent by the second. They switch off when nobody is clipping, so one video a day costs us a few cents. That is cheap enough to give away without stamping our name on your clips. If you clip every day, Plus pays for the GPU time.

Why people look for a Snazo alternative
Snazo turns long videos into short clips, and plenty of clippers like it. But it has no free plan: you need a subscription to try it, and the cheapest one is $9.99 a month billed yearly, or $19.99 month to month. If you only clip a few videos a week, or you want to test a clipping campaign before paying, that is a lot to commit to.
Most free clippers have a different catch: the free clips carry a watermark. A watermark is the first thing that gets a clip skipped, and on some payout programs it gets the clip rejected. CleanCut is built for that gap: free, online, and never watermarked.
What you get from one video
- 3 to 15 clips, each 15 to 60 seconds, ranked best first.
- Vertical 9:16 at 1080×1920, cropped around whoever is talking. Two people talking are stacked; screen recordings stay readable.
- Captions burned in, word by word, sized for a phone screen.
- A title and a caption for each clip, written for TikTok, Instagram Reels and YouTube Shorts, ready to copy.
- MP4 files with no watermark, on the free plan too.
Who it is for
- Clippers on payout programs who need many clean clips from podcasts and streams.
- Podcasters and YouTubers who want a week of Shorts from one episode.
- Anyone testing short-form before paying for a subscription.
When a link doesn’t work
Public YouTube videos work as links. Private, members-only and age-restricted videos can’t be fetched, and now and then YouTube refuses a download. When that happens it never uses up your free video: upload the file instead and it is clipped the same way. If the video is yours, YouTube Studio lets you download it from the Content page.
What we keep, and for how long
The source video is deleted once your clips are made. The clips stay at their own link for 7 days on the free plan and 30 days on a paid plan, then they are deleted too. We don’t use your videos to train anything. Only clip videos you own or have permission to use.
FAQ
Questions people ask first
Is it really free?
Yes. One video a day, up to 30 minutes long, with no watermark and no sign-up. Longer videos and more videos a day are on Plus ($7.99/month) or a one-time top-up.
Do the clips have a watermark?
No. Free or paid, the clips are clean MP4 files.
Is this Snazo?
No. snazo.org is an independent clip maker run by the CleanCut team, with its own name, code and pricing. We are not affiliated with Snazo (snazo.app). We name Snazo because a lot of people look for a free version of it, and Snazo has no free plan.
How many clips do I get from one video?
Between 3 and 15, each 15–60 seconds. A long, talk-heavy video gives more; a short one gives fewer.
Which videos work best?
Podcasts, interviews, streams, talks and sermons: anything where people speak. Music videos and silent gameplay don't have moments the AI can read.
Can I upload a file instead of a link?
Yes. MP4, MOV or WebM, under the same limits as links. If we can't fetch a YouTube link, upload the file and it works the same way.
What languages do captions support?
Captions follow the language spoken in the video. English, Spanish, Portuguese, French and German are the most tested.
How long are my clips kept?
7 days on the free plan, 30 days on Plus, Pro and top-ups. Download the ones you want to keep.
Can I post the clips anywhere?
Yes, they're yours to post on TikTok, Instagram and YouTube. Only clip videos you own or have permission to use.
How do I cancel Plus?
From your account page, any time. You keep Plus until the end of the month you paid for. If you haven't used any paid minutes, ask within 7 days and we refund you.
