Katto - 2026 Pricing, Features, Reviews & Alternatives

Katto is a cloud-based AI video clipping tool that converts long-form videos and podcasts into short-form vertical clips ready for multi-platform publishing. Accepting YouTube links and uploaded video files up to 90 minutes, it automatically detects up to 10 high-value moments per video, scores each on four axes (hook, flow, value, and trend), and applies a full editing stack including aspect-ratio reframing, word-synced captions, hook text overlays, B-roll cutaways, and animated emoji overlays. All automatically applied elements remain manually editable. Generated clips are stored and available for download for 48 hours after generation. Target users include individual content creators, podcasters, YouTubers, and small teams producing talking-head formats such as interviews, tutorials, and vlogs, as well as sports and gaming content producers.

The platform's editing capabilities span text-based clip editing (where deleting or reordering transcript text drives corresponding cut changes), prompt-first moment selection by intent, topic, hook, or audience angle, and AI proper-noun correction across captions in 99 languages with four style presets. The Miru AI reframe engine tracks speakers, faces, and action shot-by-shot to produce accurate 9:16, 4:5, and 1:1 outputs. One-click publishing reaches seven platforms, with scheduling support and SRT subtitle export also available. API and CLI access (via npx command) supports programmatic workflow integration and AI agent use.

Katto operates on flat monthly pricing with no credit system, no per-minute calculations, and no clip expiry math. Paid plans carry no watermarks, and users retain full ownership of generated clips. A free tier is available with no credit card required, lowering the barrier to evaluation for individual creators and small teams assessing short-form content production workflows.
