ABOUT CLIPFORGE
CLIPFORGE IS A LOCAL AI VIDEO CLIPPER FOR WINDOWS. WE BUILT IT BECAUSE NO EXISTING TOOL RESPECTED CREATORS' FOOTAGE, PRIVACY, AND WORKFLOW.
A LOCAL AI VIDEO CLIPPER FOR WINDOWS
YOUR FOOTAGE NEVER LEAVES YOUR MACHINE. NO CLOUD. NO UPLOADS. NO CREDITS.
CLIPFORGE IS A WINDOWS DESKTOP APPLICATION THAT AUTOMATICALLY TURNS LONG-FORM VIDEOS INTO VERTICAL 9:16 SHORTS, TIKTOKS, AND REELS - ENTIRELY ON YOUR OWN HARDWARE.
YOU DROP IN A LONG VIDEO (PODCAST, INTERVIEW, STREAM, TUTORIAL, VOD). CLIPFORGE TRANSCRIBES IT WITH WHISPER, ANALYZES THE CONTENT WITH A LOCAL LLM, FINDS THE MOMENTS MOST LIKELY TO GO VIRAL, REFRAMES THEM TO 9:16 WITH SUBJECT TRACKING, ADDS WORD-LEVEL ANIMATED CAPTIONS, AND EXPORTS READY-TO-POST CLIPS. ALL ON YOUR PC. NO UPLOADS. NO CLOUD.
THE CORE DIFFERENTIATOR: YOUR VIDEO FILES NEVER LEAVE YOUR MACHINE. NO UPLOAD QUEUE. NO CLOUD RENDERING. NO PER-MINUTE CREDITS. NO CLOUD GPU BILLS. YOUR HARDWARE DOES THE WORK.
EVERY CLOUD CLIPPER ASKED FOR TOO MUCH
UPLOADS. CREDITS. LIMITS. WE SAID NO.
NO UPLOADS
Your footage is your IP. Uploading it to clip it is a broken model. We keep it local.
NO CREDIT CAPS
Cloud clippers meter you in minutes. Your creativity shouldn't have a meter. Local = unlimited.
NO CLOUD DEPENDENCY
No internet = no clipping with cloud tools. ClipForge works offline after license check.
NO VENDOR LOCK-IN
Your clips, your captions, your settings - all local. Move machines, take it with you.
PREDICTABLE PRICING
$9.99/mo or $89.99/yr. No per-minute fees, no credit packs, no surprise bills.

YOUR FOOTAGE. YOUR RULES.
WE'RE BUILDING THE TOOL WE WANTED TO EXIST.
EVERY CLOUD CLIPPER MAKES THE SAME TRADE: YOUR FOOTAGE FOR CONVENIENCE. UPLOAD IT. WAIT. PAY PER MINUTE. HOPE THEY DON'T USE YOUR DATA. HOPE THEY DON'T CHANGE PRICING. HOPE THEY DON'T SHUT DOWN.
WE REJECTED THAT MODEL. CLIPFORGE IS LOCAL-FIRST BY DESIGN. YOUR MACHINE IS POWERFUL ENOUGH. YOUR DATA IS YOURS. YOUR CREATIVITY SHOULDN'T HAVE A METER.
THIS IS V1.0. WE'RE JUST GETTING STARTED. MACOS AND LINUX ARE ON THE ROADMAP. MORE MODELS. MORE EXPORT FORMATS. MORE WAYS TO KEEP YOUR WORKFLOW LOCAL.
