Crop Any Video Online
Need to crop a video for TikTok, YouTube, or Instagram? This free online video cropper lets you select any aspect ratio, drag a crop box over your video's first frame, and download the cropped result. Everything runs in your browser — no uploads, no accounts, no watermarks.
Choose from social media presets (TikTok 9:16, YouTube 16:9, Instagram 1:1, Instagram Feed 4:5) or enter a custom ratio. The visual crop editor shows your video with a rule-of-thirds grid for perfect composition.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I convert a horizontal video to vertical?
Yes. Select the 9:16 preset (TikTok/Reels/Shorts), position the crop box over the portion of the video you want to keep, and process. The output will be a vertical video ready for TikTok, Instagram Reels, or YouTube Shorts.
What's the difference between cropping and resizing?
Cropping removes parts of the frame — it cuts the edges to change the aspect ratio or focus on a specific area. Resizing changes the dimensions of the entire frame, keeping everything visible but making it smaller or larger. Use crop to change aspect ratio, resize to change resolution.
Will cropping reduce video quality?
No. Cropping extracts a portion of the existing video at its original quality. The only quality consideration is if you crop a small area of a low-resolution video — the output will be the resolution of the cropped area.
Can I crop and resize in one step?
Yes. Crop to your desired aspect ratio first, and the tool outputs at the cropped dimensions. If you need a specific resolution after cropping, switch to resize mode and set exact pixel dimensions.
Is my video uploaded to a server?
No. Everything processes locally in your browser using FFmpeg compiled to WebAssembly. Your video never leaves your device.
