Crop Video
Drag a crop box right on the preview. Aspect locks for socials, a rule-of-thirds grid for composure, pixel-true output.

Crop video visually — the box is the interface
No coordinates to type, no blind guessing: a crop box sits on the live preview, you drag it where you want and resize it from the corner grips. The rule-of-thirds grid inside the box helps you frame like a cinematographer, and the readout shows the exact output pixels at every moment. Lock an aspect ratio — 16:9, 9:16, 1:1 or 4:5 — and the box keeps that shape while you work, so social-media crops come out exactly right.
Crop, don't scale
Cropping keeps the original pixels inside your box at 1:1 — nothing is stretched or resampled, so the kept region stays exactly as sharp as the source. The output re-encodes at high-quality H.264, which keeps the file compatible everywhere (including iPhones) with no visible loss.
When to crop a video
- Remove a distracting edge, status bar or letterbox from a recording.
- Convert horizontal footage into a vertical 9:16 clip for TikTok, Reels or Shorts.
- Punch in on the subject of a wide shot for emphasis.
- Cut a webcam bubble or sensitive region out of a screen recording.
And as with every tool on this site: the file never uploads anywhere, there's no watermark, and there's no account wall. The crop runs on your own device at full speed.
FAQ
How do I crop a video to 9:16 for TikTok?
Click the 9:16 lock, then move/resize the box over what you want to keep. The shape stays locked, so output is always TikTok-ready.
What's the rule-of-thirds grid for?
It divides the crop into thirds — placing subjects on the lines or intersections makes the framing look deliberate and balanced.
Does cropping lose quality?
The kept pixels aren't scaled at all; the re-encode is high-quality, so loss is essentially invisible.
Is my video uploaded to crop it?
No — everything runs in your browser via WebAssembly. No upload wait, no watermark, no account.
