Good to know
The video cropper marks the visible frame area to keep throughout the video directly in your browser, via a draggable selection rectangle with a rule-of-thirds grid. Nine aspect ratio presets — Free, Original, 16:9, 9:16, 1:1, 4:5, 3:2, 4:3, and 21:9 — plus exact X/Y, width, and height values are available.
Buttons for “maximize crop,” “center,” and “reset crop” ease fine adjustment, alongside frame-rate control. Cropping changes the resolution and can cut off subjects or subtitles if the chosen area is too small.
Typical use cases
Remove unwanted borders from a screen recording
Drag the selection rectangle over the relevant area to remove taskbars, black bars, or browser UI from a recording.
Crop a video to a specific aspect ratio
Choose one of the nine presets, such as 9:16 or 1:1, to crop a video directly for story or post formats.
Tips for better results
Use the rule-of-thirds grid for better composition
Align the subject with the displayed rule-of-thirds grid to keep a balanced composition even after cropping.
Use exact values for reproducible crops
Enter X, Y, width, and height as exact numbers when the same frame area should be reused across multiple videos.
