Collect videos from social media

Clipbox is a new mobile app that allows users to download, trim, save and share their favorite videos from all the most popular social media sites. It’s an easy way to build and manage a collection of videos from all your social media accounts.

The iOS version was just released, and the Android version is coming soon.

Share video clips from your collection

With Clipbox, it’s easy to share any video clip you’ve downloaded and saved to your collection. There are three ways to share videos from Clipbox.

Share videos directly from Clipbox, or create private links to your videos.

1. Share videos directly from Clipbox.

Tap the “Share” icon on any video in your collection to open the normal sharing menu. From here, you can share the video file directly in iMessage or any of your favorite social apps.

2. Create a private link to your video.

Tap the “Link” icon to generate a private link to your video. Clipbox will host the video for you, and anyone who you share the link with will be able to view your clip.

3. Save the video to your camera roll.

Once you’ve opened the normal sharing menu, scroll down and select “Save Video”. The file will then be saved directly to your camera roll, allowing you to use it in creator apps like iMovie or TikTok.
