How it works

Step 1

Paste the YouTube link

Add the URL of the video you want to share on Facebook. It needs captions or auto-generated subtitles.

Step 2

AI picks the moments

The tool reads the transcript and returns up to 8 standalone moments with a title and a hook each.

Step 3

Preview before you cut

Play any moment on the page. It runs the original YouTube video for that range, with no download.

Step 4

Export in Bitcut

Open the app on iPhone to cut the moment, crop it to vertical, add subtitles and export for Facebook.

Share a YouTube video on Facebook as a Reel

Dropping a YouTube link into a Facebook post gives your audience a reason to leave the feed. A Reel keeps them in it. A whole video rarely fits a Reel, so the job is to pick the one moment that carries your point.

This tool reads the video captions and finds those moments, each with a suggested title and hook line.

A YouTube to FB video workflow

Run your video through the tool once and keep the moments you like. Then open the Bitcut app for iPhone to cut each one, crop it to 9:16, add animated word-by-word subtitles and export a file to upload from the Facebook app.

One long video can give you up to 8 candidates. The tool is free, handles videos up to 3 hours and allows 12 runs per hour and 50 per day.
