Everything the big clipping tools do — without the subscription
Upload fast. See the result. Skip the editing friction. Know exactly what happens next. SixteenCut delivers the same core workflow the leading vertical-video tools are built around — and charges you only for the clips you actually make.
Visible result preview
The first screen now shows source-to-short transformation instead of only text.
Speed promise
Copy focuses on getting social-ready clips faster, not just listing features.
Trust without fake proof
No invented creator counts, logos or testimonials. Just clear owner, payment and refund details.
Why creators are switching
Subscription fatigue is real. SixteenCut fixes it.
These are real frustrations creators publicly post about today's AI-clipping subscriptions. We built SixteenCut so none of them apply to you.
The complaint
“I had nearly 2,000 credits left and they still billed me for the next month. There's no way to use what I already paid for.”
SixteenCut
Credits never expire. No monthly bill, no resets. The credits you buy today still work next year.
The complaint
“Cancelling was a maze. Hidden menus, retention pop-ups, and I still got charged the month after.”
SixteenCut
Cancel anytime. No hidden menus, no retention traps — your membership stops at the end of the billing period.
The complaint
“Processing failed, the credits were burned anyway, and support took five days to reply.”
SixteenCut
14-day refund on unused credits. If something goes wrong, you keep your money — not a balance you can't use.

On-device editing
Your video never leaves your device
Most video tools upload your footage to their servers, queue it behind hundreds of other jobs, and charge you monthly to keep the lights on.
SixteenCut works differently.
The entire editing engine runs inside your browser — on your own computer or phone. Auto-zoom, face tracking, trimming, filters, background removal — all processed locally, using your device's own GPU.
Only one thing ever leaves your device:
- Your audio — sent securely to generate AI captions.
- Nothing else.
Private by default
Your video is never uploaded to our servers. We never see your footage.
No queue. No wait.
Processing starts the moment you hit go. No server farm to wait for.
Why we can charge per clip
No server costs means no monthly fee to cover them. You pay for captions, not compute.
Everything You Need. Nothing You Don't.
Every tool here runs in your browser on your own device. One simple membership, no bloat, no upsells designed to justify a higher monthly fee.
Auto-Zoom & Face Tracking
AI locks onto the subject and keeps them perfectly framed in 9:16, even as they move.
AI Captions in 8 Styles
Bold, Beast, Boxed, Neon, Highlight, Minimal, Subtitle, TikTok. Word-level timing, burned in permanently.
Silence Detection & Trimming
Dead air removed automatically. Tighter pacing, better retention.
Filters & Stickers
Add visual polish without leaving the editor — no extra apps, no extra steps.
Background Removal
Clean up your shot without a green screen. Runs on your device's GPU in real time.
Runs On Your Device
Every edit is processed locally. No upload queues, no waiting on a server farm — instant results.
Everything a Creator Needs. One Place. One Credit.
Four extra tools alongside the editor. Same credit balance, same browser, no extra signups.

Frequently asked
Can I try the editor before paying?
Yes. You can open the editor and test the upload, crop, trim and export workflow. Credits are used for AI caption generation.
What makes this different from other clipping tools?
SixteenCut focuses on direct browser-first editing, auto-reframing and captions, with one £3.99/month membership that unlocks every tool — plus credits for AI features that never expire.
What video formats are supported?
Most common containers such as MP4, MOV and WebM are accepted. Export options depend on browser support, with MP4 and WebM paths available in the editor.
Do you store my video?
Core editing runs in your browser. Caption generation sends media for processing only when you choose to generate AI captions.
Can I get a refund?
Unused credits are refundable within 14 days of purchase. Consumed credits are not refundable unless there was a technical fault.
Who is behind SixteenCut?
Adam Poulter, a sole trader based in Felixstowe, UK. Payments are handled by Paddle.com as Merchant of Record.
