About this video cropper

Cropping changes the shape of the frame, which is what platforms actually care about. A 16:9 clip posted to Reels or Shorts gets letterboxed with black bars unless it is cropped to 9:16 first, and a square post needs 1:1.

Drag the box to choose the region, and lock it to a ratio so the shape stays exact while you move it around. The export re-draws only the cropped region onto a new canvas, so there is no letterboxing and no padding in the result.

Everything is processed locally. Your video is not uploaded to a server, there is no queue, and nothing is added to the exported file.

Questions people ask

Which crop should I use for Instagram Reels?

9:16. That is the full-screen vertical shape used by Reels, YouTube Shorts and TikTok. For a normal feed post, 1:1 or 4:5 work best.

Can I crop and keep the original resolution?

Choose “Match the crop” for output width and the export uses the cropped region's own pixel size, so nothing is scaled up or down.

Can I zoom in rather than crop?

Cropping tightly and setting a larger output width has the same visual effect as zooming, though enlarging a small crop will look soft.
