    Updated Oct 2026

    Cut2Viral is a short-form video editor from German studio Focus2Grow that takes a long recording — a podcast, webinar, interview or talking-head video — and cuts it into vertical clips ready for TikTok, Reels and YouTube Shorts. The processing happens in the browser on your own device rather than on a server, so footage you have not published yet does not get uploaded anywhere. Each generated clip gets word-level captions that highlight as they are spoken, and a face-tracking reframe keeps the speaker centred when the source 16:9 footage is cropped to 9:16 or 1:1. A Viral Score ranks the suggested clips so you can start with the segments most likely to hold attention instead of scrubbing the whole timeline yourself. The pricing is the clearest differentiator in a category dominated by monthly subscriptions: a single one-time payment of €15, with no recurring fee and no per-minute export credits. That makes it a reasonable fit for creators who repurpose occasionally and cannot justify a $30/month clipping subscription. The trade-offs are real: on-device processing means export speed depends on your own machine, and the feature set is deliberately narrower than full editing suites — there is no multi-track timeline or team workspace. As a focused, pay-once clipping tool with privacy built in, it does the repurposing job without a subscription attached.
