    About this tool

    Every platform rewards videos that fill its frame: vertical video takes the whole phone screen on TikTok and Reels, while letterboxed landscape clips shrink into a strip. Cropping reframes your footage for the destination. The crop is centered, which suits most footage where the subject is in the middle.

    Cropping a small area out of a low-resolution video can look soft — start from the highest-resolution original you have.

    Frequently asked questions

    Can I choose which part to keep? This tool crops the center, which fits most videos. For off-center subjects, a desktop editor gives manual control.

    Does cropping change the file size? Usually smaller — fewer pixels to encode. Quality per pixel stays the same (CRF 23 re-encode, audio untouched).

    Are my videos uploaded? No — cropping runs 100% in your browser.
