About
Recorded in landscape but need a vertical clip for Instagram Reels? Shot too wide and want to zoom into the action? The Video Cropper lets you draw a custom rectangle or pick a preset aspect ratio — 16:9, 9:16, 1:1, 4:3 — and the tool re-encodes only the selected area. The result is a clean video with no black bars and no letterboxing. All of this happens inside your browser, so your file never touches a third-party server and there are no watermarks on the output.
Features
Precise spatial cropping for any platform
Quickly select 16:9, 9:16, 4:3, or 1:1 to prepare videos for YouTube, Instagram Reels, TikTok, or square posts.
Draw a freeform rectangle anywhere on the frame. Drag corners and edges to fine-tune the exact area you want to keep.
See the cropped result in real time as you adjust the rectangle. No guessing about the final output.
Output is re-encoded at the original bitrate so quality stays consistent. Only the frame dimensions change.
The cropped video is completely clean — no logos or branding added. What you crop is exactly what you get.
All cropping happens locally in your browser. Your video is never sent to a remote server.
