This Iqbal Day, we’re introducing Flowamic Studio, a free long video to shorts converter for creators and teams. Starting 1 January 2027, you can upload a video or paste a supported public YouTube link, generate highlights in one click, and download vertical MP4 clips. Both options will be free, with no usage limits at launch.
Give your existing footage a second life. Pull a standout answer from an interview, turn a tutorial tip into a quick reel, or share a memorable reaction from an event recording. Studio looks for faces, smiles, visual action, and changes in audio to suggest moments worth clipping. Smart face tracking helps keep the subject in frame as the video is cropped to 9:16.

- Add your video. Upload a file or paste a supported public YouTube link for footage you have permission to reuse.
