What is OpenShorts?
OpenShorts is an open-source AI clip generator that repurposes long videos into vertical 9:16 shorts for TikTok, Instagram Reels and YouTube Shorts.

The self-hosted edition is free under MIT, while OpenShorts Cloud offers a free 20-minute monthly tier and paid plans from $12 per month.
