Crop Video Online

Drag a box over the frame, lock 9:16, 1:1 or 16:9, and download.

How it works

How to crop a video online?

  1. Open your video

    Drag a file onto the box or pick one from your device. It is read straight off your disk, so there is no upload bar and no file-size ceiling.

  2. Drag out the crop

    The box starts on the whole frame. Pull a corner inwards to shrink it and drag from the middle to move it — the shaded area is what gets thrown away.

  3. Lock a shape, if you need one

    Pick 9:16, 4:5, 1:1 or 16:9 and the box keeps that ratio while you drag. Leave it on Free for any rectangle, or type exact pixel values.

  4. Crop and download

    The file saves as "yourvideo-cropped.mp4". It encodes on your graphics hardware, so it is far quicker than the clip is long — and you can switch tabs while it works.

Spec sheet

Free Online Video Cropper Features

Drag-to-crop box

Pull a corner to shrink the frame and drag from the middle to move it. The shaded area is what gets thrown away — what you see inside is what exports.

Aspect ratio locks

Lock the box to 9:16, 4:5, 1:1 or 16:9 so it stays feed-shaped while you drag. Leave it on Free for any rectangle.

Exact pixel values

Type the crop position and size in pixels when you need a precise rectangle instead of a freehand drag.

Native size or 1080p / 720p / 480p

Export at the crop’s own dimensions, or scale the result down to 1080p, 720p or 480p when the file needs to stay small.

Nothing is uploaded

The video is cropped and re-encoded in your browser. No copy of your footage reaches a server.

MP4 download, no watermark

The crop saves as H.264 MP4 with AAC. Clean file, no logo in the corner — works with MP4, MOV and WebM sources.
