# shortshort > Turn your videos into vertical shorts with highlight selection, reframing, zooms and animated captions. Explore transformations shared by the community. shortshort is a web app that turns one long video, up to 3 hours and 2 GB, into up to 20 vertical shorts of 15 to 90 seconds each, cropped to 9:16. shortshort transcribes the video word by word and keeps only passages that form complete sentences, so a short runs up to 25% shorter or longer than its target rather than cutting a thought in half. shortshort captions every word in one of four styles, Spotlight, Impact, Karaoke or Minimal, and exports each short as an MP4 at 1080 x 1920. Each short is reframed in 9:16 on the speaker; slides, screens and wide shots stay full-frame. Shorts render in the browser (a recent Chrome) or on the server in the background on the Creator and Studio plans. ## Product - [Home](https://www.shortshort.io/): What shortshort does, with a real published transformation and the five steps - [How it works](https://www.shortshort.io/how-it-works): The guide: what the AI decides, the limits, framing and captions, export and publishing - [Credits and plans](https://www.shortshort.io/pricing): Free tier and the Starter, Creator and Studio plans, with credits per month - [Studio](https://www.shortshort.io/studio): The app itself: drop a video, choose the number of shorts and the target duration - [About](https://www.shortshort.io/about): Who makes shortshort, and why ## Facts - Source video: Up to 3 hours and 2 GB, MP4, MOV or WebM - Shorts per video: 1 to 20, each with its own edit - Short length: 15 to 90 seconds - Sentences: Complete, within 25% of the target - Output: MP4, 1080 x 1920, 9:16, 30 fps - Caption styles: 4: Spotlight, Impact, Karaoke, Minimal - Credits: 1 credit = 1 minute of video, 60 free at sign-up - Plans: Free, then Starter 12 EUR, Creator 29 EUR or Studio 79 EUR a month - Framing: 9:16 crop that follows the speaker, slides and wide shots kept full-frame, emphasis zooms between x1.0 and x1.6, every keyframe editable - Shorts per plan: 3 on Free, 5 on Starter, 10 on Creator, 20 on Studio;
