YouTube video clipper
Clip a moment out of any public YouTube video, from a podcast quote to a highlight, without downloading the whole thing. Set the start and end on the scrubber and export just that section as an MP4.

- Copy the YouTube video URL (for example
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dQw4w9WgXcQ). - Paste it into ClipToolbox and wait for the preview.
- Scrub to your start and set the in point, then the out point.

What you get
Works with long videos
Podcasts, streams and lectures are fine. You only pull the section you mark, not the whole upload.
Chapters and timestamps
Paste a URL with a &t= timestamp and ClipToolbox starts you there. Fine-tune to the frame from the scrubber.
Shorts too
A YouTube Shorts URL works the same way.
Captions
Pull the video’s transcript in the editor and burn in styled captions for Reels or Shorts.
Turn it into a Reel or Short
Send any YouTube clip to the editor to crop to 9:16, add captions and clean up the audio, then export a vertical MP4.
