Terms of Use

Last updated: September 14, 2026. These terms govern your use of ShortVidAI at shortvidai.com. By using the site, you accept them. If you do not agree, do not use ShortVidAI.

Definitions

“ShortVidAI,” “we,” “us,” and “our” refer to the operators of shortvidai.com. “You” means the person accessing or using the service. “Service” means the website and tools that let you fetch public Instagram Reel media and process it in your browser.

The service

ShortVidAI provides a convenience tool to retrieve publicly available Instagram media you supply via URL, then trim or mute it locally in your browser. We do not promise uninterrupted access, and Instagram may block or limit retrieval at any time.

Rights agreement

Before fetching media, you must confirm that you own the content or have permission to download and modify it. You are solely responsible for ensuring your use complies with Instagram's terms, copyright law, and any other applicable rules. ShortVidAI does not grant you any license to Instagram content beyond what you already have a lawful right to use.

Acceptable use

You agree not to:

  • Use the Service to infringe copyrights or other intellectual property
  • Attempt to bypass rate limits, security controls, or access private content
  • Abuse the Service with automated scraping beyond normal personal use
  • Upload malware, spam our contact channels, or disrupt infrastructure
  • Misrepresent affiliation with ShortVidAI

We may refuse or throttle requests and may log IP addresses and related metadata for security and accountability, as described in our Privacy Policy.

Intellectual property

The ShortVidAI name, branding, layout, and original site materials are owned by us or our licensors. You may not republish, sell, or redistribute our site materials except for personal, non-commercial viewing. Instagram and Meta marks belong to their respective owners.

No lasting media hosting

We do not operate a video hosting library. Media is processed for your request and trimming happens on your device. You remain responsible for any files you save locally.

Copyright / DMCA

ShortVidAI respects intellectual property rights. We do not claim ownership of Instagram content you process. If you believe material accessible through our Service infringes your copyright, contact us via the Contact page with enough detail for us to investigate (description of the work, URL concerned, your contact information, and a good-faith statement). We will review notices consistent with applicable law, including the DMCA where it applies. Note that because we do not host lasting copies of videos, remedies may be limited to disabling related functionality or blocking further access where feasible.

Cookies

We may use cookies as described in our Privacy Policy. By using the Service you consent to cookies that are required for operation; advertising cookies (if any) are subject to partner policies and your browser settings.

Hyperlinking

You may link to our homepage in a way that is not misleading and does not imply endorsement without permission. You may not frame our pages or use our logo without a written trademark license. We may ask you to remove links at any time.

Disclaimer of warranties

The Service is provided “as is” and “as available.” To the fullest extent permitted by law, we disclaim warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, and non-infringement. We do not warrant that downloads will succeed, that trim points will be frame-perfect, or that Instagram will remain compatible with our retrieval method.

Limitation of liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law, ShortVidAI and its operators will not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, or for any loss of data, profits, or goodwill, arising from your use of the Service. Where the Service is provided free of charge, our aggregate liability for claims relating to the Service is limited to the greatest extent allowed by law (including zero where permitted). Nothing in these terms excludes liability that cannot be excluded under applicable law (for example, fraud).

Changes

We may revise these terms by posting an updated version on this page. Continued use after changes constitutes acceptance.

DMCA Compliance

Fair Use

ShortVidAI complies with DMCA policies. Media downloads are strictly intended for private backup or personal review under fair use. We do not host or store any video, audio or image files on our servers. All media is fetched directly from Instagram Graph CDN. If you have any copyright concerns, contact us.
