Frequently Asked Questions

ClipBack lets you pick a section of a YouTube video and play just that section on repeat. You paste a video URL, set the start and end points, and the loop plays over and over — useful for practising a passage of music, drilling a phrase in a language you are learning, or just listening to a part of a track again. Signed in, your loops are saved to a library you can come back to and shuffle.

YouTube's loop repeats the whole video. ClipBack repeats the part you chose, with a real start and end point, and remembers it.

Yes. Playback speed runs from 0.25× to 2× and pitch is preserved, so a slowed passage stays in tune. The speed is saved with the loop, so a practice loop reopens at the speed you left it at.

No. ClipBack does not download, re-encode, or store any video. It loads the original YouTube player and tells it to play only the section you chose. The video streams directly from the source, and views still count for the original creator.

No. You can create and play loops without signing in. Loops made without an account are removed after 30 days with no views. Signing in with Google saves them permanently, gives you a library and shuffle, and lets you edit loops after saving.

ClipBack is free, with no paid plan. Loops can be any length, chain as many parts of a video as you like, and you can keep as many as you want. The only limits are rate limits that stop automated abuse.

When you sign in we store your Google account identifier, email, display name and profile picture, plus the loops you create. We do not track you across the web and we do not sell your data. You can delete your account and everything in it from Settings. Full detail is in the Privacy Policy.
