Your first Short, step by step

From your video to your first post in plain words, with no editing and no experience needed.

What a Short is

A Short is a short, tall video made for phones. YouTube calls them Shorts. Instagram and Facebook call them Reels. Everpop cuts them out of a longer video you already have.

The steps

  1. Sign up. Your first video is on us — up to 3 Shorts, no card.
  2. Press Make Shorts, the gold button at the top of every screen. On a phone, press Make at the bottom.
  3. Choose your video: drop the file on the page, or press to pick it. Tick the box to say it is yours to use.
  4. Pick a style, or keep One of each. Then press Make Shorts.
  5. Wait while Everpop works. Once we start making Shorts, it usually takes 5–15 minutes — sometimes up to ~40. You can close the page. We'll email you when your Shorts are ready.
  6. Open your Shorts and watch them. Each one has its own Post it button.
  7. Press Post it on the one you like, and connect your YouTube channel the first time. Check the title, then post.

Your video is only on YouTube?

Everpop never downloads from YouTube, so the file has to come from you. YouTube lets you save your own videos:

  1. On a computer, open YouTube Studio and press Content.
  2. Point at your video, press the three dots, then press Download.
  3. Add that file to Everpop. If you still have the file you first uploaded, use that one: YouTube's copy is 720p at most.

Nothing posts by itself

Everpop waits for you. A Short goes out only when you press the button, unless you turn on Autopilot yourself on a plan that has it.

No video to hand?

Open your Studio and press Make a sample Short. Everpop makes a Short from its own video, so you can see how it works without uploading anything. It does not use your free first video.
