Questions
Which shape should I pick?
9:16 for vertical video such as TikTok, Reels and Shorts, 1:1 for a square post, 4:5 for a tall feed post and 16:9 for widescreen and YouTube. Custom lets you drag any box.
Can I make a video vertical without cutting anything off?
No. Cropping keeps part of the picture and removes the rest. Move the box so the important part stays in.
Does cropping lose quality?
The kept part is made again as a new MP4. Very large pictures are saved at up to 1080p. The sound is kept.
Is there a size limit?
One video up to 10 minutes and about 2 GB, in MP4, MOV or WebM, including iPhone HEVC.
Does Crop Video work on iPhone and Android?
Yes, in Safari on iPhone and iPad and in Chrome on Android, kept up to date. On iPhone, a video whose sound isn’t the usual kind needs iOS 26 or later; most iPhone videos are fine. If your phone or browser can’t do a video, you’ll see a message instead of a broken file.
Why is it slow on my phone?
Your phone does the work itself instead of sending the video to a server, so the time depends on your phone and the video’s length. Making a new video can take several minutes on a phone; as a guide, an iPhone 15 took about 5 minutes to merge a 9.6-minute video. Keep the page open until it’s done. Stop and edit lets you go back without losing your settings.
Is my video uploaded?
No. Your video is made on your phone or computer and never leaves it, so a big video doesn’t need a fast connection. We only collect anonymous usage counts and error reports, listed on the privacy page.
