What it is

CrabCut turns long-form videos into 9:16 clips for TikTok, YouTube Shorts, and Instagram Reels. Its AI examines video and transcripts for highlight moments, transcribes in more than 16 languages, then reframes clips vertically with face tracking, animated captions, and hooks. Caption fonts, colors, positions, and animation styles are customizable. Inputs include MP4, MOV, WebM, and MKV uploads; YouTube links are available on paid plans. Connected YouTube and TikTok accounts can publish directly, while Pexels may provide B-roll media. CrabCut is available on the web and through an API. The maker says most videos finish in under five minutes, with longer jobs taking up to 15 minutes. Credits equal minutes processed, reset monthly, and do not roll over. The free plan gives 60 sign-up credits and 720p exports with a watermark. Paid plans are Light at $6.99 a month, Standard at $12.99 a month, and Heavy at $29.99 a month.
