About yt-clipper

YT Clipper is a desktop app for saving only the part of a YouTube video you need. You set precise start and end timestamps and download the clip frame-accurately, without watermarks or ads, instead of fetching the full video, which saves time and storage. It is available for Mac and Windows and needs no signup to start clipping.

The free tier downloads at 360p to 720p. A Lifetime upgrade adds downloads up to 4K, GIF creation, audio exports as MP3, caption downloads as SRT files, batch processing of up to 10 clips from one video and lifetime updates. The price is an early-bird one-time £25, listed against £39, with no subscription, and the site also has a Shorts download page.
