# Cutshed

> Cut, compress, transcribe, and remove vocals in the browser. Free tools for filmmakers and YouTubers. The file you open stays on this device.

Cutshed is a website of browser tools for filmmakers, YouTubers, and editors. The free tools cut, convert, transcribe, and clean media in the tab. They do not upload that file. Studio is the paid generator: a prompt, and a reference only when the model accepts one, goes to the provider and costs credits. Video Game Clipper and Stream Clipper score loudness for free. Credits apply only when a vision model is configured.

There is no public directory profile to list, and the site has no site search.
