AI reads the transcript and picks the moments worth posting, then cuts them to 1080x1920 with captions burned in. Switch a clip to 4:5 or 1:1 when it belongs in the grid instead. First clip free.
Instagram is not one surface. Reels is vertical and lives on the reels tab; the feed still rewards 4:5; a square crop is what fits a carousel slot. Producing for all three usually means going back to the edit three times, which is why most creators produce for one and let the others go.
GhostShorts processes the source once. The transcript is read for the passages that work standing alone, each is cut on real word boundaries, and from there the ratio is a setting rather than a re-edit — 9:16, 4:5, 1:1, or the original 16:9, each rendering at its own 1080-class size.
Captions do the rest of the work. The feed autoplays muted, so word-synced captions burned into the file are not decoration, they are the difference between someone reading the clip and someone scrolling past it.


Ratio is a per-clip setting in the editor, not a separate render job you have to plan for. The same processed source serves Reels, the feed, and a carousel.
Word-synced with the active word highlighted, in seventeen styles, burned into the file so they survive Instagram’s re-encode.
No account connection and no scheduler. You download the files and upload them, which means nothing can go out under your handle unless you send it.
No automatic subject tracking here, and we will not pretend otherwise. Full or fit, a focal point, or a crop rectangle — set once, held for the clip.
Reels, feed, and square all come out of the same processed video.
Watch, Shorts, live replay, or youtu.be. Up to two hours of source per video.
The transcript decides where the clips are. You decide the ratio: 9:16 for Reels, 4:5 or 1:1 for a feed post, 16:9 if you want the original shape.
Seventeen word-synced caption styles, burned in for a muted feed. Clean 1080-class MP4s at 30fps, no watermark.

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.
