How to Turn a YouTube Video into LinkedIn Clips
To convert a YouTube video into short, LinkedIn-ready clips, use Vidulk’s AI Clipper to extract, resize, and caption the best moments, matching LinkedIn’s video specs.

Understand LinkedIn Video Requirements
LinkedIn supports a wide range of video formats. As of August 2026, you can upload videos up to 15 minutes long, with accepted aspect ratios from 1:2.4 (vertical) to 2.4:1 (landscape). Common vertical sizes like 9:16 (1080x1920) and 4:5 (1080x1350) are fully supported. LinkedIn also allows auto-captions, which you can toggle during upload, though captions may take time to appear after posting.
Extract Clips from Your YouTube Video
- First, ensure you own the rights to the YouTube video you want to clip.
- Copy the YouTube link or download the video file.
- Open Vidulk’s AI Clipper app on iOS or Android.
- Paste the link or upload the file. Vidulk’s AI will analyze the content and automatically select 5 - 15 of the most engaging moments from long videos like podcasts, talks, or tutorials.
Resize and Caption for LinkedIn
- Vidulk exports clips in vertical formats (9:16 or 4:5), both accepted by LinkedIn.
- Each clip is automatically resized to fit LinkedIn’s resolution and aspect ratio requirements.
- Vidulk adds burned-in captions to your clips, ensuring accessibility and engagement even before LinkedIn’s own auto-captioning appears.
Upload to LinkedIn
- Transfer the exported clips to your desktop or use your mobile device to upload directly to LinkedIn.
- During upload, you can enable LinkedIn’s auto-captions for additional accessibility.
- Check your post after publishing to confirm the video and captions appear as intended.
