Can I preview the crop before applying it?

Yes, you can adjust and preview the crop area before processing the full video.

Does cropping reduce the video's resolution?

Yes, since you're keeping only part of the original frame, the output resolution is smaller than the source — matching whatever area you selected.

Can I crop to a specific aspect ratio, like square or 9:16?

Yes, you can set the crop area to match a target aspect ratio rather than an arbitrary rectangle.

Does Crop Video upload my files to a server?

No. Crop Video runs entirely in your browser using on-device processing, your files never leave your device.

About this tool

A video shot in the wrong aspect ratio, or with unwanted content at the edges of the frame, needs its frame cropped to a specific area — and doing that without proper video tools usually means re-recording rather than fixing what you already have. This tool crops a video's frame to a specific area you define, letting you reframe existing footage instead of needing to reshoot it.
