Crop Video
Crop a video to cut off the edges or reframe a shot. Pick a square, portrait or custom frame, drag it where you want, and download the cropped clip. It runs on your device, with no upload and no watermark.
A video cropper cuts off the edges or reframes a shot to a square, portrait or custom frame. Add your clip, drag the crop where you want, and download it, so it works to crop a video for Instagram (a 1:1 square) or make a vertical 9:16 frame for Reels and TikTok. Cropping keeps the part you choose at full quality and discards the rest, rather than zooming in. It runs on your device, with no watermark.

Frequently asked questions
- How do I crop a video to a square for Instagram?
- Pick the square preset and the crop is set to a 1:1 frame, centred by default. Nudge the position if the subject sits off-centre, then crop and download. The result is a square clip ready for a feed post or profile grid.
- Can I crop to vertical for Reels or TikTok?
- Yes. Choose the portrait preset for a tall 9:16 frame, or set a custom width and height for any shape you need. The picture inside the frame is kept at full quality; only the edges outside it are removed.
- Does cropping zoom in or cut the edges?
- It cuts the edges. Cropping keeps a rectangle of the original frame and discards everything outside it, so the part you keep stays at its native detail rather than being stretched or enlarged.
