Zclipper vs ClipsCutter: questions
Is ClipsCutter free?
Yes, with limits. Free clips are up to 10 minutes at a maximum of 360p, with a strict rate limit and a daily cap. Premium costs $4.99 a month and allows clips up to one hour in 4K.
Why is my ClipsCutter clip only 360p?
360p is the free-tier maximum, and higher quality requires Premium. Zclipper saves free clips at up to 1080p.
Is there a ClipsCutter alternative with free HD?
Zclipper saves YouTube clips up to 1080p for free, with no watermark, no account and no daily cap. Quality follows the player, so keep the window large and set YouTube's quality to 1080p.
Which videos can't be clipped?
ClipsCutter can't process private, members-only, sign-in age-restricted or DRM-protected videos. Zclipper can't record DRM-protected videos either, and it tells you when a recording comes out blank.
When is ClipsCutter the better choice?
Choose ClipsCutter if you need 4K, audio-only formats, clips in seconds rather than real time, or clipping on a phone. It also offers a developer API.
