Crop a video online

Cut the edges off a video, turn a horizontal video vertical for TikTok, Reels or Shorts, or go from vertical to horizontal 16:9 for YouTube — free, private and no watermark.

How it works

1. Drop in your video above.
2. Set the crop: pick a preset shape (vertical 9:16, horizontal 16:9, square, 4:5), drag the box on the video, or type exact pixels. The preview updates as you go.
3. Click Apply and download the cropped MP4.

Questions

Can I make a horizontal video vertical for TikTok or Shorts?

Yes — click the vertical 9:16 preset and the crop box snaps to the largest 9:16 frame, centered. Nudge or drag it to choose which part of the picture stays.

Can I turn a vertical video into horizontal?

Yes, the same way: pick the horizontal 16:9 preset. It works both directions — crop always keeps the original proportions, so nothing is stretched or squashed.

Does cropping reduce quality?

Cropping re-encodes the video, as every editor does. You get clean H.264 at high quality — with no watermark in the corner.

Do I need to install anything?

No. It runs entirely in a Chromium-based browser tab.
