Access our tool to crop your video online
The first step in shaping your content to your needs is accessing the Crop tool, one of 16 user-friendly tools available for free in our Simple Video Tools collection.
Upload the video you want to crop
Once you're in the tool, upload the video content you want to crop. You have two handy options: upload the file directly from your device or simply drag and drop your video straight into the editor. We support importing a wide array of video file formats on our platform — including widely-used ones like MOV, AVI, and MP4. This means you can edit without being hindered by format restrictions.
Select the video segments to crop
With your video uploaded, you'll discover a range of options to crop your video effectively. In the "Video" section, your video is displayed with a crop area overlay. This crop area can be easily adjusted by simply selecting from the available preset values. You can choose from standard ratios like landscape (16:9), vertical (9:16), square (1:1), or portrait (4:5). If your project calls for a unique aspect ratio, select “Custom”, and manually input your desired height and width dimensions.
Alternatively, you can opt for a custom size and use your mouse to precisely size the crop area you want to retain or modify. This hands-on approach allows for precise customization of your videos.
For even more control over your crop, head to the "Position" section within the "Properties" tab. Here, you can use the arrows to precisely position the crop area on your video, ensuring that it captures the exact content you want to highlight.
Check output details of the video you just cropped
The changes you make to your video when using the Crop tool have an impact on its final shape. The “Final output specs” bar, shows all the essential details of your video such as duration, resolution, and framerate, so you can be sure your creation meets specific requirements.
Produce your cropped video
Once you're satisfied with your cropped video and have reviewed the output details, it's time to produce your video. Click on "Crop & Download," and our platform will initiate the rendering process.
If you want to further adjust the video you’ve just produced or start the next cropping project, just click the “Edit Again” button, and upload the video you want to refine. You can repeat the process as many times as you want to make sure your videos are tailored precisely to your needs.
