Use tool ↗About Katto
Katto takes long-form video — podcasts, interviews, sports footage, gaming sessions — and automatically finds key moments, reframes them to 9:16, adds captions in 99 languages, and scores each resulting clip for its chances of performing well before exporting to seven social platforms. Pricing is flat per plan rather than per minute or by expiring credits, which sets it apart from several competitors in the clipping space. It accepts YouTube links or direct MP4, MOV, WebM, and MKV uploads up to 90 minutes, and offers a REST API, an MCP server, and webhooks for teams that want to automate the pipeline instead of using the web interface.

Pros & cons of Katto
Katto's flat-rate pricing is the headline difference from per-minute clipping tools — a Creator subscriber isn't watching a credit meter while exporting clips. The viral-potential score is a nice-to-have signal, not a guarantee, and free-tier output still carries a watermark and a 720p cap.
Pros
- Flat monthly pricing instead of per-minute or expiring-credit billing
- Captions generate in 99 languages, useful for multi-market channels
- REST API, MCP server, and webhooks support automated pipelines
Cons
- Free tier caps at 720p with a watermark, 2 videos a month and 30-minute source videos
- AI dubbing, scheduling and 90-minute sources need the Creator plan
- Prices are quoted only in euros
Best for
- Podcasters and interviewers repurposing long recordings into shorts weekly
- Teams wanting API or webhook access to automate clipping instead of clicking through a UI
Not for
- Anyone needing more than 90-minute source videos processed in one pass
- Users who want unlimited free exports without a watermark
