Frequently asked questions
Short answers about using Novable, your accounts and your data
Using Novable
Who is Novable for?
Creators who record long-form video, such as podcasts, streams, talks or lessons, and want short vertical versions of it on their own channels without an evening in an editor
Do I need to install anything?
No. Novable runs as a Telegram bot and does all the processing on its servers
What can I send?
A video file, or a link to one. Large files are easiest to share as a link from cloud storage
How long does it take?
A single short is usually ready within a few minutes. Splitting a long recording with subtitles takes longer, depending on its length
Accounts and publishing
Where does Novable publish?
Only to the YouTube channel or TikTok account you connect yourself. Novable has no accounts of its own and never posts anywhere you did not choose
Can it post without my request?
No. A video is uploaded only when you publish it, right away or at a time you set. Novable never reads your feed, followers, comments or private messages
Why do TikTok posts need one more tap?
Novable delivers the video to your TikTok account, and you publish it from the TikTok app. The final decision about every post stays with you
Whose content can I publish?
Only content you own or have the rights to. Re-uploading someone else's video breaks the rules of every platform and our Terms of Service
Data and access
What happens to my videos?
Uploaded and finished files are kept only while they are needed and deleted automatically after about a week. Details are in the Privacy Policy
How do I remove my data?
Disconnect an account in the /accounts menu to delete its stored authorisation right away. To delete everything else, write to support
How much does it cost?
Novable is free to use at the moment
