Converting YouTube videos are free and easy.

Motionbox is the easiest and best tool to convert any public YouTube video to an mp4 or GIF. We designed it to be as easy as possible. Simply paste your YouTube link in our media modal shown in the demo above. Trim and wait a few seconds. You will then be able to resize the YouTube video for other social media platforms, this works great for repurposing content. You can take the wide 1920x1080 dimension from YouTube and convert it to a 1080x1080 dimension for the Instagram feed, or 1080x1920 for the iPhone. Then if you want, you can add music to the YouTube video, trim and cut, add text, subtitles, and more with our video editor.

To keep my audience engaged and excited for the weekly episodes I use Motionbox to promote the content. It's super easy to trim my podcast and add a visualizer.

Motionbox helped me create short clips of longer videos that were perfect for sharing as social media posts for my client's campaign. The built-in subtitle feature and progressbar worked great. I even used the subtitle feature to quickly generate copy from the longer videos so that I could also create blog posts! It saved me so much time. If I could use Motionbox to create top-notch content for my client who is a Super Bowl champion, then I'd say it's a superb tool!
