Questions
Are my videos uploaded?
No. Your files are processed on your device. We never upload them.
How do I turn a wide video into a vertical one?
Choose 9:16 and slide the box to the part that matters. The rest of the picture is cut away; the video keeps its full height.
Does cropping lower the quality?
The kept part keeps its pixels, but the video is re-encoded at a high quality setting, so a close look may show slight differences. The file is usually smaller, as there are fewer pixels.
Can I make the cropped video a set size, such as 1080 × 1920?
Crop first, then use Resize video's platform sizes.
Why can't I see a frame of my video?
The frame is shown by the browser's own player. HEVC videos from iPhones show in Safari but not always in Chrome or Firefox; the crop is then centred on the shape you pick.
