YouTube to Instagram Reels
Paste a YouTube link and find the moments of the video that make strong Instagram Reels, each with a title, a hook and a preview. Free, no signup.
Turn the moment into a Reel
Bitcut for iPhone cuts the chosen moment, reframes it to 9:16, adds animated subtitles and exports a video ready to post to Instagram.
How it works
Paste the YouTube link
Add the URL of the video you want to repost on Instagram. It needs captions or auto-generated subtitles.
AI picks Reel-worthy moments
The tool reads the transcript and returns up to 8 moments that stand on their own, each with a title and a hook.
Preview each moment
Play any moment on the page. It runs the original YouTube video for that time range, with no download.
Export the Reel with Bitcut
Open the app on iPhone to cut the moment, crop it to vertical, add subtitles and export for Instagram.
From a YouTube video to Instagram
A full YouTube video rarely works as an Instagram post: it is long, horizontal and starts slowly. A Reel works better as one moment with a clear point. This YouTube to Instagram tool finds those moments for you by reading the captions and ranking self-contained segments.
Each moment has its own title and hook line, so you can see how a Reel could open before you cut it.
A YouTube to Instagram converter, step by step
This is a moment finder: it tells you where to cut, and the Bitcut app for iPhone does the cutting. In the app you crop the moment to 9:16, add animated word-by-word subtitles and export a file you can post from the Instagram app.
Use it as a YouTube to IG workflow for your own videos: one long upload can give you up to 8 Reel candidates. The tool is free, up to 3 hours per video, 12 runs per hour and 50 per day.
