How to crop video online

  1. 1

    Upload your video

    Choose a video from your device or drag it into the cropper. The preview helps you see the frame before exporting.

  2. 2

    Set the crop area

    Drag the crop box or enter exact values to define the part of the frame you want to keep. Aspect ratio presets help when you need a specific layout.

  3. 3

    Crop and download

    Process the cropped video and download the result when it is ready. The edit runs in your browser, so you can crop video without uploading it to a remote service.

Understanding the settings

Cropping is especially useful when you need to remove black bars, reframe a subject, or adapt a clip to a different aspect ratio. Exact controls matter more when you are targeting a platform format, while free cropping is better when the goal is simply removing unwanted edges. Trimming before cropping can also help if the original file is very large and you only need part of it.

Compatibility, privacy, and limitations

Browser and device support

These tools are designed for modern browsers. Actual speed and maximum practical file size depend on device memory, processor speed, and how much media your browser can safely keep in memory during processing.

Format safety

If you are unsure which output to choose, start with broadly compatible formats such as MP4, WebM, MOV. They are usually the safest fallback for everyday sharing and playback.

Privacy explanation

This media job runs locally in your browser, which is useful for personal recordings, internal assets, and other files you would rather not send through a remote upload service for a routine edit.

Things to keep in mind

  • Very large files can take longer to inspect and process because browsers have less memory headroom than native desktop editors.
  • FFmpeg-based browser processing is flexible, but long or high-resolution media can still be slower than a native desktop workflow.
