Resize Video and Change the Aspect Ratio

Crop video online free: change the aspect ratio to 9:16, 1:1 or 16:9 and resize video to 1080p, 720p or 480p. No watermark, no sign-up — start now.

What the Free Video Cropper Can Do

  • Crop video to any social ratio — switch a clip to vertical 9:16 for Reels, Shorts and Stories, square 1:1 for the feed, 4:5 for posts or widescreen 16:9 for YouTube
  • Resize the video resolution — scale the picture down to 1080p, 720p or 480p so the file uploads faster to messengers and social apps
  • Centre crop that keeps the subject — the new frame is cut from the middle, so whatever is in the centre of the shot stays in view
  • No watermark on the result — the cropped video comes back clean — nothing is stamped over the frame and nothing is added to the end
  • MP4, MOV and WebM in the browser — everything runs on our servers, so there is no video editor to install and no desktop render to wait for

How to Crop a Video Online

  1. Upload your video (MP4, MOV or WebM) or paste a direct link to the file.
  2. Pick the aspect ratio your platform needs — 9:16, 1:1, 4:5 or 16:9.
  3. Optionally choose a smaller resolution: 1080p, 720p or 480p.
  4. Press “Resize video” — the cropped clip is ready in seconds and is saved to your archive.

Change Video Aspect Ratio for Every Platform

Every platform expects a different frame. TikTok, Reels, Shorts and Stories want vertical 9:16, the Instagram feed prefers square 1:1 or the taller 4:5, and YouTube still runs on widescreen 16:9. Instead of reshooting or opening a heavy editor, this video aspect ratio changer cuts the footage you already have down to the shape you need and scales the resolution to make the file lighter. The crop is taken from the centre of the picture, so the main action stays in frame and the clip keeps its original sharpness and sound. Processing happens on the server, so a phone handles it as easily as a laptop.

Resize Video for Instagram, TikTok and YouTube

  • Instagram Reels and Stories — crop video to 9:16 and 1080x1920 so nothing important is hidden behind the interface
  • Instagram feed posts — a square 1:1 frame, or the taller 4:5 one that takes up more space in the feed
  • TikTok and YouTube Shorts — turn a horizontal recording into a vertical video instead of leaving black bars around it
  • YouTube and presentations — bring a vertical clip back to widescreen 16:9 for the main player or a slide
  • Email and messengers — resize video to 720p or 480p when the original file is too heavy to send

Frequently Asked Questions

Is the video cropper free?

Yes. New users get starter energy points, which is enough for several videos. One crop costs 2–5 points depending on the length of the clip, and there is no registration or subscription needed to start.

How do I crop a video to 9:16?

Upload the clip, choose the 9:16 ratio and press the button. A horizontal video is cut to a vertical frame from the centre and comes back ready for Reels, Shorts and Stories.

Will cropping cut part of my video?

Yes — changing the aspect ratio trims the edges to fill the new frame. Keep the main subject near the centre of the shot and it will stay fully visible after the crop.

Does the cropped video have a watermark?

No. The file you download carries no watermark, no logo and no added intro. It keeps the original audio track and the format you uploaded.

Does lowering the resolution hurt quality?

Scaling a clip to 720p or 480p makes the file several times smaller. On a phone screen the difference is hard to spot, so it is a quick way to fit upload limits.
