Crop Video

Turn a wide video into a vertical one for TikTok, Instagram Reels and YouTube Shorts, or a square one for the Instagram feed. Choose the new shape and which part of the picture to keep, and the video is cropped without black bars.

How to crop a video

1. Upload your video.
2. Choose the new shape, for example Vertical 9:16, and whether to keep the center, the top/left or the bottom/right.
3. Click Convert and download the cropped video.

Frequently asked questions

Does cropping reduce the resolution?

Only the parts outside the new frame are removed; the remaining picture keeps its original sharpness.

Can I add black bars instead of cropping?

This tool crops. To keep the whole picture, upload the video as it is; most platforms add bars automatically.

What if my video already has that shape?

The tool tells you, so you do not waste time.
