How to crop video online
- 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
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
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
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.
