Turn a Podcast Episode Into a Clip You Can Share
A podcast clips tool saves you from scrubbing through a full episode to find the good part. Upload the episode or paste a link and ScreenApp’s AI highlights and automatic bookmarks, so you can jump straight to the moments worth sharing instead of listening back through the whole thing.
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. You are picking and cutting the clip yourself, with AI doing the finding.
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 need
- 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 Make a Podcast Clip
- Upload the episode or paste a link: Add a file in MP3, M4A, MP4A, M4B, AAC, WAV, OGG, OPUS, FLAC, AIFF, WMA, WEBMA, MKA, AC3, EAC3, WV, AMR, DSF, DFF for audio-only shows, MP4, M4V, MOV, AVI, WEBM, MKV, FLV, TS, MTS, M2TS, 3GP, 3GPP, 3G2, WMV, ASF, VOB, OGV, RM, RMVB, MPG, MPEG, M2V, F4V, MXF for video podcasts, or paste a YouTube, Spotify or YouTube, Vimeo and direct media links link. 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 audio.
- 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 interview with one guest works better than a noisy room with several people talking over each other. See how we measure accuracy.

Who Uses Podcast Clips
Podcasters upload the full episode and use the highlights to find the moments worth pulling for social media, instead of listening back through the whole recording to spot them.
Content creators repurpose interviews and conversations from their own show or a guest appearance, searching the transcript for the exchange they remember and trimming it into a clip.
Marketing teams extract a sponsor mention or a customer quote from a podcast episode, trimmed to the one point that matters for an ad or a landing page.
Podcast guests pull their own best moment out of an episode they appeared on, to post to their own audience alongside the full episode.
Show producers work through a backlog of past episodes to find clips worth resurfacing, without re-listening to each one from the start.
