What is the best AI clipping app for iPhone?

Clipped, if you want the AI to run on the phone: it finds the moments, reframes to 9:16 and captions them without uploading the video. No account, no credits. OpusClip and Vizard are the best known credit based options with iPhone apps.

Can an iPhone app clip videos offline?

Clipped can. Transcription, clip finding, reframing, captions and export all run on the iPhone. Internet is only used for optional one-time downloads, like an AI model.

Which iPhones can run Clipped?

Any iPhone or iPad on iOS 26. The Apple Intelligence engine needs an Apple Intelligence iPhone, and the largest model (Qwen 3.5 4B) needs an 8 GB RAM iPhone (iPhone 15 Pro or newer). The smaller models and No AI run on the rest.

Do Klap or Submagic have an iPhone app?

We found no official Klap or Submagic app on the US App Store in October 2026. Both run in a browser.

Can CapCut or Edits find clips automatically on iPhone?

Their App Store pages list auto captions and editing tools, not automatic clip finding from a long video. You pick and cut the moments yourself. CapCut's website lists a Long video to shorts tool without saying which plan includes it.

How long a video can I clip on iPhone?

Clipped takes MP4 or MOV from Photos or Files, up to 2 hours long. Vizard's free plan lists a 60 minute upload limit.

Best AI Clipping Apps for iPhone (2026, Checked)

Quick answer

Three iPhone apps find clips in a long video for you: Clipped, OpusClip and Vizard (Captions does it on its paid Max plan). Clipped is the only one that runs the AI on the phone, so the video never uploads and every feature is free. CapCut and Edits are good editors; you cut the moments by hand.

Pricing checked October 2026. All six apps have an iPhone app.

1. Clipped: the on-device AI clipper

Open a long video from Photos or Files. Clipped transcribes it, finds the moments, reframes them to 9:16 and burns in captions, all on the iPhone.

Pick your engine: Apple Intelligence (no download), Qwen 3.5 4B, Qwen 3.5 2B, LFM 2.5 1.2B, or No AI.
Judge picks clips: a downloaded model rates moments across the whole video. Picks also use laughter, applause and big reactions.
Viral score 0 to 100 on every clip. Tap it to see why, so you post the strong ones first.
How many clips? 1-3 up to 10+. How long? Auto, 15, 30, 60 or 90 seconds.
Face tracking keeps the speaker in frame. Podcast split screen and blur fill for wider shots. 9:16, 1:1 or 4:5.
Captions in 14 languages and 11 styles. Translate captions to reach another audience.
Export 1080p, up to 60 fps, audio levelled to -14 LUFS (the loudness TikTok, Reels and Shorts use).

Pros: the video stays on your phone, works offline, every feature free with no credits.

Cons: needs iOS 26; free exports carry a small clipped.cc watermark (one optional one-time purchase removes it); it reminds you to post but does not post for you.
