Video Cropper

Drag & Drop or Click to Select a Video

MP4, MOV, WebM, or MKV to crop

Tip: paste a video file from clipboard (Ctrl/⌘+V).

Shareable link

Settings are written to the URL as you change them. Nothing differs from the defaults yet.

Cut a video’s frame down to the area you want and export it as a new file. Drag the box over the preview, pull its handles, or type the rectangle in pixels.

Frame the crop

The dimmed area around the box is what gets removed. Drag inside the box to move it and drag a handle to resize it. The thirds lines inside the box help place a subject off center.

The rectangle is stored in the page address as fractions of the frame, so a shared link applies the same framing to another file, even one at a different resolution.

Aspect ratios

Ratio	Where it fits
16:9	YouTube, laptops, TVs
9:16	Shorts, Reels, TikTok, Stories
1:1	Square feed posts
4:5	Portrait feed posts
4:3	Older cameras, slides
21:9	Cinema widescreen

With a ratio chosen, the box resizes from its corners only and keeps the ratio. Changing the ratio recenters the box at the largest size that fits. Free unlocks the edge handles and the pixel fields.

Pixels and rotation

All values are in the orientation the video plays in. A phone recording stored sideways with a rotation flag is shown and measured upright, and the export has the rotation applied to the pixels.

Resolution cap

The cropped frame is exported at its own size by default. A 1080p or 720p cap scales it down when it is larger, never up. Both sides are rounded to even numbers, which H.264 requires.

Audio

The soundtrack is copied when the output container supports its codec, and re-encoded when it does not. Remove audio exports a silent clip.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I crop to an exact size?

Leave the aspect ratio on Free and type X, Y, Width, and Height in pixels. The values are in the video's displayed orientation, so a phone video shot upright is measured upright.

How do I make a vertical video from a landscape one?

Choose 9:16. The frame becomes the tallest 9:16 box that fits, centered; drag it sideways to follow the subject. The export is that box, scaled to the resolution cap if it is larger.

Can I remove black bars?

Yes. Drag the top and bottom edges, or the sides, in to where the picture starts, or type the offsets. Letterboxing that is part of the pixels is cut away like any other area.

Does cropping lower the quality?

The kept pixels are not resampled unless the crop is larger than the resolution cap, but the frame is re-encoded, which adds one generation of compression at a high bitrate.

Why are my width and height slightly different after export?

H.264 encodes even dimensions only, so each side is rounded to the nearest even number of pixels.

Video Trimmer

Cut the start and end off a video by dragging in and out handles on the timeline. Cut on the exact frame with a re-encode, or copy the kept part without re-encoding by cutting at key frames.

Video Compressor

Reduce a video's file size by choosing a quality level or a target size in MB. Set the codec (H.264, VP9, or AV1), scale the frame down, and re-encode or remove the audio.

Image Cropper

Crop JPEG, PNG, and WebP images to exact aspect ratios. Pan to reframe, zoom up to 8x, and download individual files or export the batch as a ZIP.

Speed a video up or slow it down from 0.25× to 4×, with the soundtrack stretched to match. Keep the voice at its normal pitch or let it rise and fall like tape, and preview the result at the new speed.

Blur Video

Blur every frame of a video with a Gaussian blur, and mix the blurred frame back over the sharp one to soften rather than erase detail. The blur scales with the output size, so the preview matches the export. Exports MP4 or WebM with the original soundtrack.

Change Pitch of Video

Raise or lower the pitch of a video's soundtrack by up to 12 semitones without changing its speed or length, and keep the picture untouched. Presets for deeper and higher voices and whole octaves. Exports MP4, WebM, MOV, or MKV.

Audio Visualizer

Turn an audio file into a video with animated spectrum bars, a radial meter, or an oscilloscope waveform. Pick colors, a caption, and a 16:9, 9:16, 1:1, or 4:5 frame, and export an MP4 with the audio included.

Film Stock Video Emulator

Grade a video to one of seventeen named film stocks, including Portra 400, Kodachrome 64, Velvia 50, CineStill 800T, and Tri-X 400, with grain that moves on every frame and trims for exposure, contrast, grain, and halation. Exports MP4 or WebM with the original soundtrack.

Holographic Video Effect

Lay an iridescent, angle-driven spectrum over every frame of a video for a holographic foil look, with a foil texture that stays fixed like a real sheet. Set iridescence, foil angle, spectral bands, and foil texture. Exports MP4 or WebM with the original soundtrack.

Kaleidoscope Video Effect

Mirror every frame of a video into 2 to 24 symmetric segments around the center for a moving kaleidoscope. Set segment count, rotation, and zoom. Exports MP4 or WebM with the original soundtrack.

Orton Video Effect

Screen a blurred, brightened copy of every video frame over the sharp original for a dreamy glow that keeps detail. Set blur radius, glow amount, soft layer exposure, saturation, and shadow protection. Exports MP4 or WebM with the original soundtrack.

Pixel Sort Video

Sort the pixels of every video frame into streaks by luminance, hue, or saturation for a melting glitch-art look. Set threshold, direction, sort key, and randomness. Exports MP4 or WebM with the original soundtrack.
