Video Cropper: Reframe and Resize Your Videos Easily
Need to focus on a specific part of your video or change its aspect ratio for social media? Our Video Cropper tool lets you easily cut out unwanted edges, reframe your subject, and resize your clips for perfect playback on any platform.
What is a Video Cropper?
A Video Cropper is a tool that allows you to change the framing of a video by removing outer areas of the footage. Unlike trimming, which changes the length of the video, cropping changes the visual dimensions, allowing you to focus on the essential parts of the frame or adapt the video for different screen sizes (like square or vertical formats).
Step-by-Step Guide on How to Use It
- Upload Video: Drag and drop your video file into the online cropper.
- Select the Crop Area: Use the bounding box handles on the video preview to select the area you want to keep.
- Choose Aspect Ratio (Optional): Select a preset aspect ratio like 1:1 (Instagram), 9:16 (TikTok), or 16:9 (YouTube) for perfect sizing.
- Apply Crop: Click the “Crop Video” button to start processing the file.
- Download: Once the processing is finished, download your newly framed video.
Practical Use Cases
- Social Media Optimization: Converting landscape videos (16:9) into vertical videos (9:16) for TikTok, Reels, or Shorts.
- Removing Distractions: Cutting out unwanted objects, watermarks, or black bars from the edges of the frame.
- Zooming In: Reframing a shot to focus more closely on a subject or action that was recorded from far away.
- Creating Square Videos: Cropping standard video formats into perfect squares for Instagram feeds.
FAQ
Will cropping reduce the video quality? Cropping physically removes pixels from the video, which means the resolution of the final video will be lower than the original. However, if the original video is high quality (like 4K), the cropped version will still look excellent on most screens.
What video formats can I crop? Our Video Cropper supports all popular formats, including MP4, MOV, WebM, and AVI.
