Video Social Crop Frequently Asked Questions

How do I crop a video for Instagram or TikTok?

Upload the video, choose the format that matches the platform, and download the result. The video is cropped automatically, centered around the middle of the frame.

Will this cut off part of my video?

Changing aspect ratio always means trimming some of the frame, since the new shape does not match the original. The tool crops evenly from both sides (or top and bottom), keeping the center of the frame, so the main subject usually stays in view.

Which format should I use?

Use 9:16 for TikTok, Instagram Reels, and YouTube Shorts. Use 1:1 for a standard Instagram feed post, or 4:5 for a taller Instagram portrait post. Use 16:9 if you need standard widescreen.

Is this free, and does it add a watermark?

Yes, it is completely free with no watermark added to your pages.

Is my file safe when I crop a video online?

Yes. Your file is transferred over an encrypted connection, processed securely, and automatically deleted within 30 minutes.
