Changes
Shape
16:9 to 9:16, with the subject tracked so the crop follows the speaker instead of sitting in the middle of the frame.

Cropping a landscape video to vertical throws away two thirds of the frame, and it is still twelve minutes long. A real conversion changes the shape, the length, the sound and the opening. Paste a link and Splicora does all four.

What actually changes
Every converter changes the shape. The other four are the difference between a vertical video and one that gets watched to the end.

Minutes to seconds. The AI cuts the moments that stand alone rather than trimming the whole video down.
Clips, not a shortened videoChanges
Most TikTok viewing starts muted, so captions are burned in rather than offered as a toggle nobody finds.
Captions are not optionalChanges
A hook in the first two seconds. YouTube viewers will sit through an intro; here there is no room for one.
The hook goes firstChanges
A short caption and a handful of hashtags written for TikTok, rather than the YouTube description pasted across.
Not the YouTube descriptionHow it works
The tool previews the video so you can confirm it is the right one.
Converting needs storage and credits; the link is carried into your free Splicora account.
Keep the whole video reframed to 9:16, or let the AI cut it into scored TikTok-length clips.
Download the MP4s or connect TikTok and schedule them natively.
Two ways to do it
Which one you want depends on how long the video already is, and it is worth deciding before you start.
Already short
For something already a minute or two long. Select 9:16 in the resizer with face tracking on, add captions, export.
Anything longer
Splicora finds the moments, cuts and reframes each one, captions them and drafts a TikTok caption and hashtags per clip. That is usually the better conversion.
Where it goes next
The format change is the easy part. A landscape video cropped to vertical loses two thirds of the frame, so where the crop sits matters: Splicora's AI video resizer tracks the face or the moving subject and keeps it in the vertical window. The length change is the harder part. TikTok viewers finish short videos and abandon long ones, so the better conversion is not the whole video squeezed vertical but the strongest moments cut out of it — which is what the AI clip generator does.
On top of both, TikTok is watched with the sound off more often than not, so animated captions are burned in by default, and a hook covers the first two seconds.
Connect your TikTok account once under Connections and the converted clips can be scheduled from the calendar, published natively with their captions. The same clips go to Reels and Shorts with their own copy, and an auto-posting workflow can repeat the whole conversion for your next YouTube upload without you.
Every one of those is handled in the conversion, and each can be adjusted in the editor before you post.
Questions
Splicora fetches the video from the link you paste to process it; you never handle the file yourself. Only convert videos you own or have permission to reuse.
Yes. AI face tracking moves the vertical crop to follow the subject, so a speaker who leans or walks is not cut off.
Short. The AI trims clips to a length viewers finish, and you can adjust any of them.
Splicora's Free plan includes monthly credits for resizing, clipping and captions, with no credit card required.
