Note: Framedrop has bought JoinCombo's domain JoinCombo.com - if you're an ex-JoinCombo user Framedrop will let your turn your clips to TikToks, Shorts and Reels.
With JoinCombo shutting down unexpectedly, you may find yourself looking for a new tool. A lot of content creators relied heavily on it and now find themselves with no way to quickly edit and share their clips to social media. Don’t worry, Framedrop not only offers a clip editor but also offers a quick and easy way to find your clips through AI. In this blog post we’ll look into both tools’ features and why Framedrop is great for ex-JoinCombo users.
JoinCombo - What Happened?
JoinCombo - which was also referred to as just Combo - started as one of the pioneers of clip storing, editing and sharing and amassed a large following throughout the years. Their new way of creating short-form content from clips became a powerful tool for creators since it easily let you turn your content from horizontal to vertical to fit platforms like YouTube Shorts, TikTok and Instagram Reels. It also let you heavily customize the look of your clip through features like text, captions, stickers, templates and more.
JoinCombo announced that they would be shutting down in a farewell email. The date of this shutdown was the 14th of December 2023.
