Crop Video Online — Free

Video cropping removes portions of the frame to focus on specific content, eliminate distracting elements, or adapt videos for different platform requirements. Whether you're converting landscape footage to vertical format for TikTok or removing unwanted objects from the edges of your frame, our cropper gives you precise control.

The visual crop interface overlays adjustable handles on your video preview, letting you define exactly which portion to keep. Preset aspect ratios make it easy to target specific platforms: 9:16 for TikTok and Instagram Reels, 1:1 for Instagram posts, 16:9 for YouTube, and 4:3 for traditional broadcasts. Custom dimensions accommodate any unique requirements.

Social media managers crop horizontal videos for vertical platforms without losing key content. Filmmakers reframe shots to improve composition or remove boom microphones that dipped into frame. Gaming streamers crop recordings to remove UI elements and focus on gameplay. Security professionals crop surveillance footage to focus on specific areas of interest.

The cropping process re-encodes the video to apply the new frame dimensions, optimizing quality and file size for the output resolution. Audio remains synchronized throughout. Our smart encoding ensures the cropped output maintains excellent visual quality while achieving reasonable file sizes for sharing and uploading.
