AI YouTube Shorts maker. Six viral niches.
Real viral clips.No research.No editing.
Pick a viral niche: ranking, wholesome, biker and bodycam, famous people, memes and facts, or commentary. Say what you want. Rank It finds clips that already went viral, checks every one against its own post, builds the vertical video with your words over it, and posts it to your channel. You never open an editor.
Nothing is ever posted without you pressing publish. Make one, download it, decide later.
A complete ranking Short made with Rank It, the real finished video, not a mockup. Every other niche comes off the same pipeline. Sound starts off so you can watch anywhere.
The published Short and the count YouTube reports for it. The workflow gets you to a finished video every time; the audience is still earned.

Six viral niches that will go viral
Every niche runs through the same pipeline: the same search, the same checks against each post, the same build and the same publishing. What changes is what it looks for and how the finished Short is laid out. Ranking is where Rank It started, and it is still the default.
- 01 / 06
Ranking
CountdownIt is a countdown. Five short clips, numbered 5 down to 1, with the list on screen the whole time, so people keep watching to find out what #1 is.
Try “the funniest instant regret moments”
- 02 / 06
Wholesome
CaptionOne real act of kindness, up to 18 seconds, with a song under the whole thing and a title over it. Staged kindness and anyone in distress are filtered out before you see them.
Try “a stranger paying for the car behind”
- 03 / 06
Biker & bodycam
CaptionHelmet-cam, chest-cam and dashcam moments from the rider or driver who filmed them. Near-misses, kindness on the road, wildlife, views. Never crashes, never road rage.
Try “the closest near-misses caught on dashcam”
- 04 / 06
Famous people
CaptionMoments famous people posted on their own accounts, or the event's official one. Never television, film or concert footage, and never paparazzi: those are someone else's to sell.
Try “famous people surprising fans”
- 05 / 06
Memes & facts
CaptionClips that are funny or surprising on their own, with a meme line or a one-line fact over each. The caption carries the joke, so the footage has to work with the sound off.
Try “cats that seem to defy physics”
- 06 / 06
Commentary
StackedClips worth a take, fitted above a band that carries your line. Post it as it is, or drop your camera into that band in any editor. The space is already left for it.
Try “sports moments worth a second look”

What a Rank It Short is
A vertical video built from a handful of real clips that already went viral, with your words over each one. A ranking counts them down to #1; every other niche plays them in order with one line over each. Either way the clips are real posts you can open and check.
What you need
- A niche and a sentencePick ranking, wholesome, or any of the others, then “the funniest instant regret moments.” That is enough to start, and you can change it later.
- A Google accountIt runs in your browser, nothing to install. Sign in with Google, then choose the YouTube channel you want to connect when you are ready to publish.
- No editing experienceNothing to drag, no timeline. You choose the order and the words; the app builds the video.
What you put in, what you get out

Section 04 · The whole workflow
From a sentence to a published Short
Five steps, counted down the way a ranking counts down, and the same five whichever niche you pick. You can stop at any of them and pick the work up later; every project is saved as you go.
5. Pick a viral niche and say what you want
Ranking, wholesome, biker and bodycam, famous people, memes and facts, or commentary. Then one sentence, plus how many clips you want, which country, how recent, and how popular they have to be. Or press one button and the AI suggests a topic that is working in that niche.
↳ Already have clips you like? Paste the links instead and skip this entirely.
4. Rank It finds the real posts
It searches public pages on TikTok, YouTube Shorts, Instagram and Facebook, opens each post it finds, reads the view count off the post itself, and watches the footage to confirm it is what you asked for. Every clip arrives with a number you can check, not an estimate.
↳ Results arrive as a table you can read: views, likes, and why each clip works.
3. Put the clips in order
In a ranking, build to a #1 worth waiting for. In every other niche, put the strongest moment last. The AI helper can suggest an order and explain why, write the titles with you, and caption every clip.
↳ One clip per creator, so the finished Short does not look like a single account's feed.
2. Build it
One button. The titles, the countdown or the captions, the trimming, and the sound, including levelling the clips so none of them is suddenly louder than the last.
↳ The progress bar tracks real work, not a countdown. Cancel actually stops it.
1. Publish it
Connect your channel once, then post straight from your finished videos, or hand them to the queue and let it publish on the schedule you set.
↳ The video is already built and waiting on the server, so publishing does not upload it all over again.
Section 03 · Monetization
Built for a channel that earns
YouTube pays Shorts channels through its Partner Program, and the bar is public: 1,000 subscribers and 10 million Shorts views in 90 days. The part most people miss is the other rule, reused content. A channel that reposts other people's clips unchanged does not get in. Rank It is built so every Short you publish is your own work on top of real footage.
Your words on every clip
The title card, the captions or the countdown, and the order are yours: written by you or drafted by the AI from your brief, and edited before anything renders. That editorial layer is what separates a compilation from a repost.
The sources, listed
Every clip's original post goes into the description, and the app reminds you to get the creator's permission before you publish. Asking is what keeps a channel standing.
Consistency without the grind
A finished Short every time you sit down, quickly enough to keep posting. Views come from the ideas you pick; the app makes sure the video exists.
Section 02 · Publishing
Connect a channel once, then stop thinking about uploads
Signing in and connecting your channel are the same click. After that the AI writes the title and description for you, and a finished Short goes to YouTube in one press, or into a queue that publishes on the schedule you choose.
The title and description, written for you
One press. The AI reads the Short you just built and writes the title, the description, and the tags the way Shorts that get clicked are written: a hook that promises the payoff without giving it away, a question that pulls comments, and the hashtags to go with it. Every word is yours to edit before anything goes out.
A queue that survives restarts
Queued uploads are stored on the server with their state, so a reload or a restart does not lose your place.
Public, or link-only until you are sure
Each upload can go out publicly or stay “unlisted”, which means only people you send the link to can see it. Nothing posts without you pressing the button.

Questions
The things worth knowing first
Which kinds of Shorts can it make?
Six viral niches. Ranking is the original: a countdown of real clips. Wholesome is one clip of real kindness with a song under the whole of it and a title over it. Biker and bodycam, famous people, and memes and facts play the clips in order with one caption over each. Commentary fits each clip above a band that carries your line, with room for your camera if you add one in another editor. Every niche uses the same research, the same checks, and the same publishing; you pick it at the top of the brief and can change it per project.
Do I have to pay for an AI service separately?
No. Every plan includes the AI. Finding clips, checking them, and writing titles all draw from your plan's monthly credits, so there is no separate AI account to create and no API key to paste. And if you already know the clips you want, paste the links and Rank It checks each one and takes you straight to the editor: you do not need an AI account for this, and it costs no credits.
Am I allowed to use the clips it finds?
Not automatically. Rank It edits publicly available playback for review and shows you the exact source post for every clip. Contact the creator and record permission before you publish. The app helps you find the clip; it cannot give you the rights to it.
Do I need to be good at editing?
No. There are no timelines, keyframes, or export presets. You choose the order, the titles, and which sound lands on the best moment. The app handles the framing, the trimming, and matching loudness across clips.
Does it write the title and description for me?
Yes. One press, and it reads the Short you built (the idea, the order, and every clip in it), then writes the title, the description, and the tags, and answers the questions YouTube asks before it will take a video. It is not scanning what is trending today: it writes from your project, in the shape Shorts are written in: a hook, a question that invites comments, and #Shorts with two relevant hashtags. You can rewrite any of it before you publish. It is included in every plan and costs 1 credit.
Can I run it on my own computer?
Yes, on a Mac; there is no Windows version yet. It runs entirely on your machine, with your projects saved in the browser and your logins kept on your own disk.
What if the video fails to build?
It tells you what went wrong in plain words and keeps your clips, so trying again is one press. Nothing is left spinning forever waiting on something that already died.
Do I need a TikTok account?
No. Rank It only reads pages that are already public, the same ones you would see without logging in. You never connect a TikTok account to it.
Could this get my YouTube channel in trouble?
It can, if you publish someone else's clip without asking. Reposting is what gets videos removed and channels struck, and no tool can promise otherwise. Rank It shows you the exact post behind every clip so you can find the creator and ask first. Do that, and you are publishing something you are allowed to publish.
Will this get my channel monetized?
It cannot promise that, and nobody can. YouTube decides who joins the Partner Program, and its reused-content rule turns away channels that repost other people's clips unchanged. What Rank It does is make every Short your own work on top of real footage: your title, your captions or countdown, your order, the sources listed in the description, and a reminder to ask the creator first. That is the shape YouTube's rules ask for.
Will my Shorts get views like the ones at the top?
That is a real upload, and most channels start much smaller. What this gives you is a finished video every time you sit down, quickly enough to keep posting, which is the part most people give up on. The audience still comes from the ideas you pick.
How long does one video take?
Most of the wait is the app searching for clips and building the video, and neither needs you watching. Close the tab while it works and come back to a finished file.
Is there a limit on the AI research?
Studio includes one monthly credit balance of 1,000, and the free trial runs on the full 1,000. Clip research uses 5 credits, exporting a finished video uses 3, and titles, ordering, chat, and sound planning use 1. Previewing uses none, and pasting your own links never costs credits. Credits reset on the 1st of each month.
