Frequently asked questions

How do I crop a horizontal video to 9:16 for TikTok, Reels or Shorts?

Choose 9:16 under Aspect ratio, drag the box over the part you want to keep and press Crop video. Use 1:1 or 4:5 for square and portrait feed posts.

Will cropping lower the video quality?

Cropping means re-encoding, which is done in H.264 at a quality setting (CRF 23) that looks the same as the original to most viewers. The sound is kept, and the output is an MP4 that plays everywhere.

Is my video uploaded anywhere?

No. The video is cropped by an engine running in your browser, so it never leaves your device. Long or 4K videos can take a few minutes on slower phones.

Are my files uploaded anywhere?

No. Crop Video runs entirely in your browser. Your files are processed on your device and are never sent to a server.

Is there a file size limit?

No fixed limit. The only limit is your device's memory. Very large files work best in a desktop browser.

Is Crop Video really free?

Yes. There's no account and no watermark. A short optional ad, or a 20-second wait, unlocks each download. That's how we keep it free.
