Bottom line: Vizard turns long videos — podcasts, webinars, interviews — into short, captioned, vertical clips for TikTok, Reels, and Shorts. Its free plan gives 60 credits a month — 1 credit per minute of uploaded video, so one hour-long recording a month — exported at 720p with a watermark and only 3 days of storage. A genuinely useful test drive, not a working free workflow for regular publishing.
What does Vizard do?
Vizard is a browser-based AI clipping tool. You upload a long video, its AI finds the moments most likely to work as short clips, reframes them vertically, and adds captions. The pricing page also lists auto subtitling, subtitle translation, transcript download, auto reframe, AI emojis, and highlight keywords, plus a full video editor for polishing clips. It is built for the same job as Opus Clip, while general editors like Kapwing and VEED treat clipping as one feature among many.
What is actually free on Vizard’s free plan?
| Item | Free plan | Paid plans |
|---|---|---|
| Price | $0 | Creator and Business tiers |
| Monthly credits | 60 credits (1 credit = 1 minute of uploaded video) | From 600 credits |
| Upload limit | Up to 1GB per video | Up to 30GB |
| Export quality | 720p, with a watermark | 4K, no watermark |
| Export length | Up to 10 minutes per clip | Any length |
| Storage | 3 days | 100GB on Creator; kept while you subscribe on Business |
| Social accounts | 1 connected account | 6 on Creator; 20 on Business |
Those numbers come from Vizard’s own pricing comparison, checked October 30, 2026. Note the metering: credits charge on the length you upload, not the clips you export, so one 60-minute podcast uses the month’s whole free allowance.
Where does the free plan bite?
Three places. The watermark is the big one — watermark removal is a paid feature, so free exports carry Vizard branding and are not client-ready. The 3-day storage window is second: free projects expire fast, so download anything you want to keep the same week. And 720p with a 10-minute export cap is fine for testing clip quality and captions, but limiting for polished channels. Paid plans remove the watermark, unlock 4K, and start at 600 credits a month.
Pros and cons
Pros
- AI clipping: finds the highlights in a long video and cuts them into short, vertical clips
- Auto subtitling with subtitle translation and transcript download (TXT on free)
- Auto reframe, AI emojis, and highlight keywords to dress up clips
- Full video editor included on the free plan
- Direct publishing to 1 connected social media account
Cons

- 60 credits means roughly one hour-long source video a month
Who is Vizard best for?
Vizard’s free plan is best for podcasters, streamers, and webinar hosts who want to test AI clipping on one long recording a month before paying for watermark-free 4K exports. Run one real episode through it: if the AI’s picks and captions save you real editing time, the paid math is easy to judge. Daily clip publishers will outgrow the free tier before their second upload.

Verdict
Vizard’s free plan is an honest audition: a full hour of AI clipping with the real editor, paid for with a watermark, 720p exports, and a 3-day clock. Use it to judge clip quality on your own footage — that judgment is what the free plan is really for.
