Turn a Podcast Episode Into a Clip You Can Share
A podcast clip generator saves you from scrubbing through a long episode to find the good part. Upload an episode or paste a link and ScreenApp’s AI highlights and automatic bookmarks, so you can jump straight to the moment worth sharing instead of sitting through the whole recording.
From there, you trim the section you want to the exact start and end point, then download the clip or share a link to it. AI does the finding; you do the picking and cutting.
What you get:
- AI highlights and automatic bookmarks, so you do not have to scrub the whole episode
- trim recordings to the exact start and end point you want
- A transcript in 100+ languages to search for the line you remember
- AI chat with any recording so you can ask what a guest said and get pointed to the timestamp
- Paid plans only for downloading the finished clip, or share a link instead
- Free plan: 2 transcriptions of recordings up to 45 minutes each to try it on
How to Generate a Clip From a Podcast
- Upload the episode or paste a link: Add an audio or video file in MP3, M4A, MP4A, M4B, AAC, WAV, OGG, OPUS, FLAC, AIFF, WMA, WEBMA, MKA, AC3, EAC3, WV, AMR, DSF, DFF or MP4, M4V, MOV, AVI, WEBM, MKV, FLV, TS, MTS, M2TS, 3GP, 3GPP, 3G2, WMV, ASF, VOB, OGV, RM, RMVB, MPG, MPEG, M2V, F4V, MXF, or paste a link from YouTube, Vimeo and direct media links. Processing starts once the episode is in your library.
- Let AI find the highlights: AI highlights and automatic bookmarks across the episode, so you open a bookmark instead of dragging the playhead back and forth through an hour of conversation.
- Trim it and get the clip: Use the trim tool to set the exact start and end point, then download the clip on a paid plan or share the link straight from ScreenApp.
Accuracy of the transcript and the highlights depends on the audio: a clean two-person interview works better than a noisy room with several guests talking over each other. See how we measure accuracy.

- vs Opus Clip: Opus Clip auto-generates vertical clips from spoken words and exports 9:16 only even on its free plan, with watermarked, up to 1080p, expires after 3 days. ScreenApp finds the highlight and lets you trim it, but does not crop or export vertical formats.
- vs Choppity: Choppity’s free plan gives you 1 hour/month, no watermark of upload and reframes clips to vertical automatically. ScreenApp’s free plan is 2 transcriptions of recordings up to 45 minutes each, with the highlights and trim tool but no automatic reframing.
- vs Spikes Studio: Spikes Studio’s free plan covers 30 minutes/month with a watermark, and its paid $14.09 plan removes it and adds vertical reframing. ScreenApp never puts a watermark on a recording (no watermark on any recording or export), but downloading the finished clip needs a paid plan.
Who Uses a Podcast Clip Generator
Podcasters upload a fresh episode and use the highlights to find the exchange worth pulling for social media, instead of relistening to the whole hour to spot it.
Interview and co-hosted shows search the transcript for the line a guest said and trim it into a clip to post alongside the full episode.
Marketing teams turn a sponsor read or a founder interview into a short clip for a landing page or an email, trimmed to the one point that matters.
Video podcasters pull the moment a viewer clipped and commented on, without scrubbing back through the recording to find the timestamp.
Show producers cut a short clip out of a longer recording to answer a listener’s question about what was said, rather than sending the whole episode.
