Send to phone
Get a short onto your phone in seconds and post it from the apps you already use, with the title and hashtags copied for you.
Who can use it
Every account, on every plan, free included, at no credit cost. It works for vertical shorts. Highlight videos are bigger files made for YouTube, so download those from the job page instead.
From a computer
- Open a finished job.
- On a short, click Post.
- A QR code appears. Scan it with your phone's camera and the short opens on your phone.
Can't scan it? Click Copy link and send the link to yourself, in a chat or an email, then open it on your phone.
From your phone
Open the job in your phone's browser and tap Post on a short: it opens right away, no code needed. Back to job takes you back to your shorts. The sun or moon at the top switches between light and dark.
Post it
- The page shows the short with its title, hashtags and description. Under Where are you posting it?, tap the app.
- We copy the title and hashtags for you. Tap Post video and your phone's share menu opens: pick the same app.
- When the app opens with your short, paste the title into its caption or title box. To add the description too, come back to the page and tap Copy description.
Why copy and paste? Most apps ignore any text sent along with a video, so we put it on your clipboard instead, ready to paste.
On a phone whose browser can't share videos, tapping the app saves the short to your gallery instead and copies the title and hashtags: open the app, pick the short from your gallery and paste.
| App | What is copied |
|---|---|
| TikTok, Instagram, Facebook, Snapchat | The title and hashtags are copied for you. Paste them into the caption box. |
| YouTube | The title and hashtags are copied for you, cut at a whole word to YouTube's 100-character title limit. Paste them into the title box. |
| X | The title and hashtags are copied for you, cut to fit X's 280 characters. |
| Threads | The title and hashtags are copied for you, cut to fit Threads' 500 characters. |
| Other | Any other app in your phone's share menu, or a chat to send the clip to someone. |
Save it instead
Save video puts the short in your phone's gallery, and on some phones it opens the share menu, where you pick Save Video. From there, post it from any app whenever you like. The two Copy buttons work at any time.
The link
Anyone with the link can watch that short. The link works for 24 hours without signing in, so only send it to yourself or to people you want to see the short. It shows that one short and nothing about your account.
It stops working early if the job's files are deleted, about 30 days after the job (see Your results), or if you delete your account.
If something goes wrong
| What you see | What to do |
|---|---|
| The app isn't in the share menu | Close the menu and tap Save video. Then open the app and pick the short from your gallery. The Copy buttons on the page still work. |
| "The share menu didn't open" | Tap Save video, then open the app and pick the short from your gallery. |
| "This link has expired" | Links last 24 hours. Click Post on the short again to get a new code. |
| "We couldn't copy it for you" | Your phone refused to copy. The text is shown on screen: select it, copy it, then paste it in the app. |
| "We couldn't get the video ready on this phone" | Tap Save video: it opens the short on its own. Press and hold it to save it, then post it from your gallery. |
