Free Video Cropper - Change Aspect Ratio Online

Why Crop Instead of Resize

You recorded a landscape video but TikTok displays vertical. Resizing squeezes the entire frame, making faces elongated and text unreadable. The video looks amateur.Cropping extracts a portion of your frame while keeping correct proportions. Select which part stays visible. Faces stay natural, text stays sharp, the video looks intentional.Film once in high resolution, then crop multiple versions for different platforms. Each output pulls from the same source but shows different framing.Browser-based cropping uses server resources instead of your computer. Traditional software requires installation and slows down older machines. The browser approach works identically on any device.

Video Cropper Features

Browser-based tool

Works on phones, tablets, and computers without installing anything. Processing happens on cloud servers, so device age and specs become irrelevant to processing speed. A laptop from several years ago crops videos just as fast as current models. Access from anywhere with internet connection.

Automatic file deletion

Videos delete from servers immediately after you download the cropped version. Upload, crop, and download complete the cycle within minutes. We keep zero copies and maintain zero access after processing finishes. Your footage exists on our servers only during active processing.

Quality stays intact

Cropping changes frame size without re-encoding the full video. Your resolution, sharpness, and audio quality remain unchanged from source to output. 1080p footage outputs as 1080p. 4K maintains 4K resolution. Audio tracks copy directly, preserving bitrate and preventing sync drift.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is this free?

Yes. The tool is completely free with no hidden fees or trial limitations.

Will cropping compress my video?

No. Cropping only changes frame dimensions. The video bitrate and encoding stay the same, so file size might actually stay similar or become slightly larger per pixel.

Can I undo a crop if I made a mistake?

Your original file remains untouched on your device. Simply upload again and crop differently. The preview before processing shows exactly what you'll get.

What if my video has black bars already?

Crop them away by positioning the frame to exclude the black areas. This gives you more screen space for actual content.

Does audio stay intact?

Yes. The audio track copies to your cropped video unchanged. No quality loss, no synchronization issues.

My video is larger than 500MB. What can I do?

Compress your video first, then crop it. Or upgrade to premium for larger file processing.

Will cropping fix shaky footage?

No. Cropping changes what's visible in frame but doesn't stabilize motion. Use a video stabilizer for that.

Can I crop just part of the video timeline?

No. The crop applies to the entire video duration. To crop specific sections, trim your video first, then crop.

What if I need multiple crops from the same video?

Upload once, download the first crop. Then upload the original again and set a different crop area. Each crop creates a separate output file.
