Crop Video to a Custom Region

Useful for removing black bars, focusing on a specific area of the frame, or reformatting landscape footage for portrait platforms like TikTok or Reels. Everything runs in your browser — the video never leaves your device.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I crop to specific aspect ratios?

Yes. Presets for 16:9, 9:16, 4:3, 1:1, and custom ratios. A rule-of-thirds grid helps you frame the shot.

Is this useful for making vertical videos?

Absolutely. Crop a 16:9 landscape video to 9:16 for Instagram Reels, TikTok, or YouTube Shorts. Combine with the [Video Trimmer](/video/trimmer) to cut to the exact clip you need.

Does cropping reduce the resolution?

Yes. You're keeping a portion of the original frame, so the output resolution is smaller than the input.
