Simply upload your video and adjust the crop handles to any aspect ratio, including perfect squares for Instagram, portraits for TikTok, or widescreen for YouTube. Remove any unwanted bits from the top, bottom, left, and right areas of the screen. Preserve video quality, add more elements using our video editor, and download it for free with no watermarks.

Catch the right composition

Crop Videos Feature Card 2

As you drag the crop handles, a grid appears to guide you in getting the right shot composition. Use our video cropping tool to cut out distracting elements in the frame, like unsightly borders, black bars from mobile videos, or unintended subjects. You can zoom in, get a close-up, or focus on a specific area of the frame. With our free video cropper, you can refine your footage and select the best angles.
