Clipy features: everything the tool can do

Turning one long video into a month of posts usually means five different apps, a lot of exporting and a lot of copy and paste. Then you still have to schedule it all, account by account.

Clipy does it in one place. It turns long videos, photos and product pages into ready-to-post Instagram and YouTube content (vertical clips, photo posts, carousels and stories) and schedules all of it to your accounts in one go. This guide covers every feature, section by section, so you can see exactly what it does.

Clipy at a glance

• Who it’s for: creators and personal brands, e-commerce sellers and dropshippers, and small agencies running several accounts.

• What it makes: vertical clips, Instagram photo posts, carousels and stories.

• Where it posts: Instagram (feed posts, Reels, Stories and carousels) and YouTube (Shorts and videos), on as many connected accounts as you like.

• Languages for clips: English, Hindi, Odia and Hinglish, with captions in English.

1. Create Video Clips: long videos into short clips

This is the heart of Clipy. Give it a long video and it gives you a batch of finished vertical clips.

• Two ways in: paste a YouTube link, or upload a video file.

• Multilingual: English, Hindi, Odia and Hinglish. Let Clipy auto-detect the language, or pick it yourself.

• AI picks the best moments: Clipy reads the whole video and chooses self-contained, clip-worthy moments. The number of clips grows with video length, around 15 to 20+ from a 15-minute video.

• Accurate, word-timed captions that line up with the speech.

• Captions in English: spoken Hindi, Odia or Hinglish is translated into English captions, timed to the speech. Or show a fixed line of text under every clip instead.

• Everything written for you: each clip gets a title, description, hashtags and an on-screen headline.

• Polished vertical output: 1080×1920 (9:16), high quality, footage centred, headline on top and captions below.

• Keyword highlights: one or two words in each headline get a highlight colour, changing from clip to clip.

• Optional emoji at the end of the headline.

• Background styles: black with white text, white with black text, or a mixed batch (50/50, 70/30 or 30/70).

• Channel profiles: each channel keeps its own clip length, writing style, call to action and bottom text.

• Live progress with a timer for every stage.

• Generate more: get more clips from the same video without repeating moments.

• Picks up where it left off: interrupted jobs resume without starting again.

• Saved videos: reopen earlier videos with their titles and clips still waiting, and use Manage list to delete old ones.

• Per-clip controls: preview, edit the title and description, copy text, download the MP4 or delete.

• Clean writing: no em or en dashes in generated text.

• Schedule the whole batch: pick accounts, a first post time and the hours between posts.

2. Clip Style: your brand look

Set your look once and every clip and story follows it.

• Fonts: separate fonts for the headline, bottom text and captions.

• Font sizes: a maximum size for each, with long text shrinking to fit.

• Highlight colours: editable palettes for black-background and white-background clips, with a restore defaults option.

• Live preview on both black and white.

• Hindi and Odia headlines in proper script fonts.

• One brand look everywhere: stories use the same fonts and colours as your clips.

3. Upload Videos: finished videos, scheduled

• No editing needed: finished videos are scheduled as Instagram Reels and YouTube videos in the same run.

• YouTube titles are filled in from the file name, and you can edit them.

• Captions: pick a caption preset or write your own text.

4. Upload Photos: Instagram feed posts

• Drag and drop any number of photos.

• Auto-fit: automatic 4:5 crop and file size kept under 5 MB. Both are optional.

• Randomise posting order: Light, Medium or Strong, plus a Randomize order button.

• Caption presets and multiple caption versions, dealt out evenly at random and never the same twice in a row, with Shuffle captions.

• Per-photo caption editing.

• Schedule with your chosen accounts, first post time and spacing.

5. Upload Carousel: swipeable posts

• 2 to 10 photos as one swipeable Instagram post.

• Cover and order: drag the photos or use the arrows. Photo 1 is the cover. Full-size slide preview included.

• One caption per carousel, with presets. Post at a set time to one or many accounts.

• Your carousels list: see drafts and scheduled carousels, reopen them, delete drafts, or use Clear list (scheduled ones still post).

6. Image Grabber (Posts): photos from web pages

Pull the real photos from web pages you own or have permission to use, such as your store or your supplier’s pages.

• Paste up to 200 page links at once. Logos, icons and thumbnails are skipped.

• Look-alike detection: keeps only the best copy of the same photo, with Smart, Aggressive or Off settings.

• Product pages: takes exactly that product’s photos, optionally with its other colours.

• Live stats: time spent, time left, images grabbed and how many more are expected.

• Instagram-ready: images are made 4:5 as they arrive.

• Saved lists: each list has an ID and a shareable link. Open, start new or manage lists.

• Fast selection: Select all, Shift-click ranges, Invert selection, Delete selected, full-size view and Shuffle order.

• No double posting: images already scheduled are marked green and can’t be picked again.

• Caption presets and versions. Schedule straight to Instagram, or use Edit in Photos first.

• Download ZIP of the ticked images or the whole list.

• Add your own photos by drag and drop.

7. Image Grabber (Stories): ready-made Instagram Stories

• Ready-made stories: each photo is centred on a clean white 9:16 frame, with nothing cut off.

• Text above and below in your Clip Style fonts. Wrap words in double stars to colour them, and use sliders for size and position.

• Preview stories exactly as they’ll post, then schedule them as Instagram Stories to multiple accounts with spacing.

• Download stories ZIP of the finished story images.

• Drop your own photos to make stories, and open the same list as posts or as stories.

8. E-commerce Grabber: product photos and carousels

Built for sellers who need clean product photos fast, and want to post each product as its own carousel.

• Product photos only: the main image, gallery and zoom shots. No related, similar, you may also like or recently viewed products, and no banners, logos, headers or footers.

• Works with Shopify, WooCommerce, PrestaShop, custom-built shops and eBay listings.

• Originals kept: no cropping or shrinking.

• ZIP with a folder per product: numbered in the order you pasted, named after the product, photos numbered inside, plus a file with the product link.

• Tidies up: photos are cleared from your workspace once the ZIP has downloaded.

• Clear results per link: how the photos were found, or why a link couldn’t be read.

• Delete product removes a product and its photos.

• Move to Stories sends photos to the Stories grabber.

Post products as carousels

• Tick many products and schedule them all in one click: one carousel per product, spaced out by the hours you choose.

• Each caption starts with the product title, followed by your brand caption.

• Click a product to open its details. Ticking only selects it.

• In the details, see which photos will post, change the cover, reorder, leave photos out or add them back.

• Edit each carousel’s caption there or in a full-size, slide-by-slide preview. It saves automatically, even after a refresh.

• Products already scheduled are greyed out.

9. Captions and brand presets

• Brand caption presets in every caption dropdown.

• Manage list: add a brand or company, delete one, or restore the built-ins.

• Editable text that saves automatically, with Reset to default for built-in presets.

• Multiple caption versions rotated across a batch, so posts don’t read the same.

10. Scheduling

• Everything for Instagram and YouTube: feed posts, Reels, Stories, carousels and YouTube videos, across your connected accounts.

• One-click batches: choose accounts, a first post time and the hours between posts.

• Never posts twice: items already scheduled are skipped.

• New accounts appear when you click Refresh channels.

• Scheduled posts are protected: deleting something in Clipy never cancels a post that’s already scheduled.

• Plain messages if a large batch needs to pause.

11. Pending: everything not yet scheduled

• Every clip, photo and video not yet scheduled, in one place and grouped by batch.

• Apply a caption preset to a batch, schedule everything in one run, or Discard a batch.

• Calendar View: what’s scheduled each day, by account and time.

• Reports: Previously Scheduled, Previously Posted (what has actually gone live), Channel-wise, By Content Type and Scheduling Stats.

13. Workspace and experience

• Automatic housekeeping clears published media. Anything waiting to post is never touched.

• Storage overview so you always know where you stand.

• Display options: light and dark mode, interface font choice and S, M or L text size.

• Works on smaller screens.

• Clear feedback: confirmations before anything destructive, and plain-language messages.

• Choices remembered between sessions.

Good to know

A few honest limits, so you know exactly what to expect.

• Platforms: Clipy posts to Instagram and YouTube only today.

• Clip languages: English, Hindi, Odia and Hinglish videos. Captions are always in English.

• Thumbnails: Clipy does not create thumbnails automatically.

• Image grabbers: some big marketplaces (for example Amazon) block automatic downloads, and some shops’ galleries can’t be read automatically, so you may only get the main image.

• Photo formats: JPG, PNG and WebP. Convert HEIC photos first.

• Carousels: 2 to 10 photos. Instagram shows every slide at the cover photo’s shape.

• Very large batches can take a while and may pause briefly before continuing.
