Paste a YouTube link. AI reads every word of the transcript, finds the moments that stand on their own, and cuts each one to captioned 9:16. Your first clip is free.
A two-hour recording usually holds four or five things worth posting on their own, and the only way anyone has ever found them is to sit through the whole recording. That is the part that never gets done, which is why most long-form footage gets published once and then sits there.
GhostShorts approaches it from the transcript. Every word gets a timestamp, an AI reads the full text end to end, and it comes back with the passages that work standing alone: something that opens sharply, holds a single idea, and finishes rather than trailing off mid-sentence. The cut points land on real word boundaries, not on a guess.
What you get back is a shortlist, ranked. You skim it instead of scrubbing.


The selection runs on the transcript, so it responds to argument and structure rather than to loudness or motion. That is why it works on a talk and not on silent footage.
Each clip carries a 0-100 score that ranks it inside your batch, and a breakdown across hook, story, value, engagement, and reach that quotes the clip back at you. A ranking, not a forecast.
Trim the ends, split and delete segments, reorder them, change aspect ratio, set the crop and focal point, edit a word the transcriber got wrong, export a thumbnail. Saving is separate from rendering.
1080x1920 MP4 at 30fps with no watermark, downloadable one at a time or as a ZIP. Sixteen-by-nine, square, and 4:5 are available in the editor if you need them.
No scrubbing a timeline looking for the good part. Paste the link and read the shortlist.
Any YouTube URL, up to two hours of source. GhostShorts ingests it and transcribes every word with its own timestamp.
The transcript is searched for self-contained moments: a hook, a complete thought, a clean landing. Each one is cut on real word boundaries and scored against the rest of your batch.
Trim, recrop, restyle the captions, or take them as they came. Download one at a time or grab the whole batch as a ZIP.

Real results. Real reach. Built with GhostShorts.
Made a Reddit story short in the middle of my chem class. 100K views before I got home.
Honestly thought this was just another overhyped AI tool. But it actually delivers and is super easy to use. I already created 10 shorts in 1 day.
Tried a couple viral formats on the app. A month later... 10 million views. This app is stupid easy to use.
Making edits CapCut felt homeworkish. GhostShorts is easy af, almost feels likes I am on autopilot.
All I do is copy a Reddit post, paste it in, export, done. It's stupid easy.
Used to doom scroll all night. Now I post the same type of videos I used to binge.
I run a few fake text story channels. Jesus I've hit over 5 million likes on just one of my channels alone. It's ridiculous.
GhostShorts saved me countless hours of editing time. Highly recommended!
I cut my content creation time by 80% after switching to GhostShorts. It's the only tool that actually keeps up with how fast I work.
