Frequently asked questions
Is my video uploaded?
No. It's cropped in your browser and never leaves your device.
Will 9:16 fill the whole phone screen?
Yes, 9:16 is the shape of a phone screen held upright. Cropping a landscape video to 9:16 keeps a tall strip from the middle (or wherever you move the box), so frame your subject inside the box.
Why isn't the result 1080×1920?
The tool never enlarges a video, because that adds size without detail. A 9:16 crop from a 1920×1080 video is 608×1080; Instagram and YouTube accept it and scale it up for viewers.
Does cropping lower the quality?
Cropping has to re-encode the video. The bitrate is set from the original's, so it looks the same for most clips, but it isn't a perfect copy.
Can I resize without cropping?
Yes. Choose No crop and pick an output size such as 720p.
