Podcast clip for social media free, captions burned in

By ShinobiTools Team · Last updated: August 2026

Upload your episode, drag two handles to the moment you want, and get back a captioned clip ready for TikTok, Reels and Shorts — no watermark, no account, no re-editing in another app.

No account. 10 recordings a day. Files up to 60 minutes here, and it resets at midnight.

You already know which bit to post

Most clip tools make you wait for an AI to guess the best moment, or scrub through an editor that wasn't built for this. If you already know the 30 seconds that make the whole episode — the punchline, the hot take, the number that surprised you — this skips straight to cutting it: drag the start and end handles, press one button, get an MP4 with the words burned into the picture. It's a podcast clip maker built around that one job, not a general video editor with clipping bolted on — good for a batch of podcast clips lined up for the week's posts, one segment at a time.

How it works

Upload your episode; it's transcribed on our own GPU so every word gets a timestamp. Scrub the preview and drag the two handles to the segment you want to post, then press cut — the clip is rendered with word-by-word captions burned in, ready to download.

  1. Upload the episode (the video file, not just the audio — see below).
  2. Wait for it to transcribe.
  3. Drag the Start and End handles to the segment you want.
  4. Press "Cut & caption it" and download the finished MP4.
Why it needs the video file

The captions get burned into the picture, so there has to be a picture to burn them into. If your podcast is recorded as video (a Zoom/Riverside/OBS recording, or the version you already post to YouTube), upload that file. An audio-only MP3 has nothing to put the words on — transcribe it on our audio to text page instead, or record video next time.

Prefer to let a model pick the moments for you across a whole episode? That's the automatic version on the homepage tool (upload, tick "keep my file", then "Turn this into short clips") — an ai podcast clip generator, if you'd rather it search the transcript than drag the handles yourself.

Whether you call this a podcast clipper or you're looking to clip a podcast for social media specifically, it's the same drag-two-handles tool either way — free, captioned, ready to post.

Common questions

Does it work on audio-only podcasts?

It will transcribe an MP3 fine, but captions get burned into the picture, so there has to be a picture. Upload the video version of the episode (the Zoom/Riverside/OBS recording, or whatever you post to YouTube) to get a captioned clip.

How long can the clip be?

From 3 seconds up to 3 minutes. Most social clips work best well under a minute.

Is there a watermark?

No. The downloaded MP4 has your video and the captions and nothing else.

Can a model pick the best moment for me instead?

Yes — that's the automatic "Turn this into short clips" option on the homepage tool, which reads the whole transcript and picks a few moments itself. This page is for when you already know which bit you want.

Is my episode kept?

No. The upload and the finished clip are deleted with the rest of the job; see privacy.

How do I make a podcast clip for social?

Upload the video version of your episode to ScribeGrab, drag the two handles to the moment you want, and press cut — you get a captioned MP4 ready to post, no account needed.

Can I clip a podcast episode for TikTok?

Yes. Upload the video file, pick the segment with the start and end handles, and download an MP4 with captions burned in — the format TikTok, Reels and Shorts all need.

Is the podcast clip ai automatic, or do I still pick the moment myself?

On this page you pick the moment yourself with the two handles; the podcast clip ai option that picks moments for you lives in the automatic "Turn this into short clips" tool instead.

Is podcast clipping ai accurate at lining up the captions?

podcast clipping ai here times every caption off the transcript itself, so the burned-in words line up with what's actually said in the clip.
