Video Cropper
Crop any video to a vertical, square or wide frame for Reels, Shorts, TikTok or YouTube, all in your browser. Choose the aspect ratio, position the crop area, and download the cropped video free.
The crop takes the largest area of the chosen shape from the position you pick, and scales it to at most 720 px on the long side.
Ready. Recording happens in real time while the video plays.
How to use
- Choose a video.
- Pick the aspect ratio for your platform and a crop position.
- Click crop. The cropped video records while it plays through once, then download it.
Tips
- Use vertical (9:16) for Reels, Shorts and TikTok, square (1:1) for feeds, and wide (16:9) for YouTube.
- Position the crop box over the subject — faces and on-screen text should stay inside the frame.
- Cropping cannot add detail, so a blurry source stays blurry.
Recording is in real time. Audio is kept when the browser allows capturing it. Output is MP4 where supported, otherwise WebM.
