Shorts pulled out of YouTube uploads
2short.ai points at a YouTube video, finds the moments worth cutting, and exports them vertical with face tracking and animated captions. Every plan carries the whole feature set and they differ only in how many hours of video the AI will read a month, which is a pricing shape that suits someone testing the idea. The free tier is thirty minutes of analysis, enough to judge whether the clips it picks are the ones you would have picked.
Our note
The free tier is the reason to start here rather than at Klap or OpusClip: thirty minutes is enough to see which moments the model picks before any money changes hands. If it picks well for your material, the paid tiers are among the cheapest in this category.

Thumbnails, covers and posts without a designer
Canva covers thumbnails, channel art, carousels and short video with templates that look fine and are quick to change. Brand kits keep a team consistent. Anyone with real design skill will outgrow it, and that is fine.
Our note
Nearly everyone should be on the free plan until a brand kit is the thing they keep wanting. Pro earns its money for teams and for anybody publishing daily; for one person making a thumbnail a week it does not.
