Built by the creator it happened to
In August 2026 one of my own clips took a Community-Guidelines strike. The appeal won, but publishing was frozen for a long time, and there was no tool that could have looked at the file before YouTube did. ClipCheck is that tool. I scan my own Shorts with it before every upload to reduce strike risks.

Questions creators actually ask
What happens to my video?
It is scanned, scored, and hard-deleted from our servers 7 days later. The scores and the report are kept; the footage is not. Nothing is ever uploaded to YouTube or anywhere else.
How accurate is it?
Scores come from a versioned severity ladder built from YouTube’s published enforcement tiers — 74 content patterns — not from a model’s mood. During the first weeks a human reviews every report before release. It is detected risk, never a guarantee: YouTube decides, not us.
What if YouTube strikes a video you scored LOW?
It can happen — enforcement sees context we can’t (title, thumbnail, channel history). Tell us what happened in one tap; every real outcome sharpens the ladder for the next scan.
Why only 20 founder seats?
The first cohort gets human-reviewed reports and direct access to the founder while the ladder calibrates. That doesn’t scale past a small group. The seat is €9/month locked for life, refundable anytime.
Do I need a card to try it?
No. Email sign-in gives you 3 free scans, no card. A scan takes about 3 minutes and you’re emailed when the report is ready.
