About Clipus
Clipus is a desktop alternative to cloud clipping subscriptions — built by one developer who was tired of paying monthly for something a local app can do just as well.
Who We Are
Clipus is built and maintained by Muzammil Ijaz, an independent software developer — not a venture-backed startup or a large company. There is no parent company or holding entity behind Clipus; it is a solo-operated software product, sold directly through Gumroad under the developer's own name. That means direct support from the person who actually wrote the code — no support ticket queue, no outsourced help desk.
What We Do
Clipus is a desktop AI video clipping tool. It takes a long-form video — a YouTube link or a local file — transcribes it, finds the moments most likely to work as short-form content, reframes them to 9:16, burns in animated captions, and exports vertical clips ready for TikTok, YouTube Shorts, and Instagram Reels. Every step runs locally on your own computer with ffmpeg and Whisper, so there's no upload step and no render queue.
Our Story
Clipus started from a simple frustration: cloud clipping tools like Opus Clip charge $20–$100+ every month, cap how many minutes you can process, and require uploading footage to a third-party server — an ongoing cost and privacy trade-off for something a local app can handle just as well. Muzammil Ijaz built Clipus as a desktop alternative — download, cutting, captioning, and export all run on your own machine, and a one-time lifetime license costs less than a single month of most cloud subscriptions.
