Crop or resize?
Cropping cuts parts of the picture away and keeps the rest at full sharpness. If you want to keep the whole picture in a new shape, use Resize Video for Instagram or TikTok, which adds a blurred background instead.
Custom crops
With "Custom" you set the width, height and the offsets from the left and top in pixels, which is handy for removing black bars or a webcam overlay.
Good to know
Crop sizes are rounded to even numbers, which H.264 requires. Ratios are cut from the full frame; the video is not scaled, so the cropped area keeps its original sharpness.

Frequently asked questions
How do I know the video size?
It appears next to the file name after you choose it, for example 1920×1080.
Is the Crop Video free?
Yes, completely free, with no sign-up and no watermark. Files up to 1 GB each can be converted, and there is no daily limit.
Is my file uploaded to a server?
No. The converter runs inside your browser using WebAssembly, so your file is processed on your own device and never sent to us or anyone else.
Does it work on iPhone and Android?
Yes, in Safari, Chrome and other modern mobile browsers. Short files work best on phones; for long or high-resolution videos a computer is faster.
