Crop a video to any shape, for any platform
Turn a wide recording into a vertical clip for Reels, TikTok and Shorts, or a square for the feed. Choose the shape, slide the frame over the part that matters and save it with the sound.
To crop a video, open it here, choose a shape (9:16 vertical, 1:1 square, 4:5 portrait, 16:9 wide or 4:3), then drag the position sliders until the frame covers what you want to keep. Click Crop and save: the browser plays the video once and records only the area inside the frame, with its sound. The crop uses the largest box of that shape that fits the video, and the result is MP4 where your browser can record MP4 and WebM otherwise.
