Frequently asked questions
Are my videos uploaded when I compress them?
No for compression. The site says compression uses local browser encoding, though public link imports pass through the service before local encoding.
How much does transcription cost?
1 credit per started minute of media, so a 90-second recording costs 2 credits. You see the exact quote before approving.
Does ClipShrink have a subscription?
No. Credits are sold as one-time packs ($9 for 750, $19 for 2,000) that never expire. Checkout was not yet open when checked.
What is the maximum upload size for transcription?
The video-to-text page accepts audio or video files up to 2 GB.
Is there a desktop app?
No. The site states that no downloadable macOS or Windows app is available.
Which AI model does the transcription use?
The site does not say. Processing runs on its own workers with private Cloudflare R2 storage.
