Frequently Asked Questions

How do I crop a video online?

Upload your video, select an aspect ratio preset or drag the crop area to your desired size, and click Crop. The cropped video downloads as MP4.

What's the difference between cropping and resizing?

Cropping removes parts of the frame (like cutting the edges off a photo). Resizing changes the dimensions of the entire frame without removing content. Use the Video Resizer if you want to change dimensions without losing any part of the video.

Can I crop a video to a square for Instagram?

Yes. Select the 1:1 preset to instantly set a square crop area. Position it over the part of the video you want to keep.

Can I crop a horizontal video to vertical for TikTok?

Yes. Select the 9:16 preset. The crop area will show you exactly which portion of the horizontal video will become the vertical result.

Will cropping reduce my video quality?

Cropping requires re-encoding the video, so there is minimal quality change. We use high-quality settings (CRF 23) that produce results visually indistinguishable from the original.

Is there a file size limit?

The tool handles files up to 500MB. Processing happens entirely in your browser.

Does my video get uploaded to a server?

No. All processing runs locally in your browser using FFmpeg WebAssembly. Your files never leave your device.
