FAQ's
Got questions? Our FAQs cover everything you need to know about cutting YouTube videos with Clipscutter, from device support to processing times and daily limits.
Can I cut a YouTube video on my phone or tablet?
Yes. Clipscutter runs entirely in your browser with no software to install, so it works on any device — iPhone, Android, tablet, laptop, or desktop. Just open the site, paste your YouTube link, and cut your clip.
Can I cut multiple clips from the same YouTube video?
Yes. You can create as many clips as you need from the same video. Simply paste the URL again, set a different start and end time, and process each clip individually. There is no limit on how many clips you can create from a single video.
Do I need a YouTube account to cut videos with Clipscutter?
No YouTube account is required. Clipscutter only needs the public URL of the video you want to cut. As long as the video is publicly available on YouTube, you can cut any clip from it instantly.
What is the best format for sharing YouTube clips on social media?
MP4 is the best choice for social media. It is accepted by every major platform including Instagram, TikTok, Twitter, and Facebook, and plays natively on every device. For audio-only clips such as podcast highlights, MP3 is the most universally compatible option.
Can I close the browser while my clip is being processed?
Yes. Clip processing happens entirely on Clipscutter's servers, not in your browser tab. Once you have submitted your clip request, you can safely close the browser. Your clip will be ready and waiting when you return to the site.
What happens if the YouTube video is private or age-restricted?
Clipscutter can only process publicly accessible YouTube videos. Private videos, members-only content, age-restricted videos that require sign-in, and DRM-protected videos cannot be processed. If a video requires a YouTube login to watch, it cannot be cut with Clipscutter.
How many clips can I create per day on the free plan?
Free users can create a set number of clips per day. For unlimited daily clips, faster processing, and longer clip lengths up to 1 hour, upgrading to the Pro plan removes all daily restrictions.
How long will my clip be available after processing?
Your processed clip is hosted on Clipscutter's servers for 24 hours after creation. After that window it is automatically deleted. Download your clip as soon as it is ready to keep it permanently on your device.
