Video Resizer

Resize any video to the exact shape a feed wants — 9:16 for Reels and TikTok, 4:5 for the Instagram feed, 1:1, 16:9, or a width and height you type in. Crop it to fill the frame or keep the whole picture with bars.

MP4, MOV or WebM — whatever your browser can play. The file is opened straight from your device and never uploaded, so there is no size limit and nothing to wait in line for.

How it works

How to resize a video?

  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. Pick the shape and size

    Choose 9:16, 4:5, 1:1, 16:9, the original shape, or type an exact width and height. The preview immediately becomes the output frame.

  3. Choose crop or bars

    "Crop to fill" fills the frame and cuts off the sides that do not fit. "Fit with bars" keeps the whole picture and pads the gap in black or white.

  4. Resize and download

    The file saves as "yourvideo-1080x1920.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

Features

Platform shape presets

One tap sets 9:16 for Reels and TikTok, 4:5 for the Instagram feed, 1:1 for a square post, 16:9 for YouTube — or keep the shape the file came in.

Exact width and height

Pick Custom and type any pixel size from 16 to 7680 on a side. Useful when a platform wants a number the presets do not cover.

Crop to fill, or fit with bars

Fill the frame and cut the overflow, or keep the whole picture and pad the gap. Bars come in black or white.

1080p, 720p or 480p

The short edge is set to the resolution you pick, so a 9:16 export at 1080p is 1080 × 1920 — not a stretched 1080 × 1080.

Optional audio

Keep the soundtrack or strip it. The picture is untouched either way — handy for silent loops and clips headed under a new track.

MP4 download, no watermark

The resize saves as H.264 MP4 with AAC when audio is kept. Clean file, no logo, no signup — and nothing is uploaded while it works.

The sizes

Video sizes for each platform

Every one of these is a preset in the tool above. Platforms re-encode whatever you send them, so matching the shape matters far more than matching the pixels exactly — 1080 on the short edge is plenty for all of them.

Questions

Frequently asked questions

Is this video resizer free to use?

Yes, with no watermark on the download and no account needed. Resize as many clips as you like.

Does the video get uploaded to a server?

No. The file is read straight off your disk and resized by your own browser — there is nothing to upload and no copy of the footage leaves your device.

What video formats can I open, and what do I get back?

MP4, MOV, WebM, M4V, AVI and MKV open, provided your browser can decode them — some MOV and MKV files use codecs browsers do not support. Whatever goes in, the download is always MP4: H.264 video, with AAC audio if you keep the sound.

Can I resize to an exact width and height instead of a preset?

Yes — pick Custom and type the pixel dimensions directly, anywhere from 16 to 7680 pixels on a side. The 9:16, 4:5, 1:1 and 16:9 presets are there for the common feed shapes.

What is the difference between "Crop to fill" and "Fit with bars"?

"Crop to fill" fills the whole output frame and cuts off whatever does not fit. "Fit with bars" keeps the entire picture and pads the leftover space in black or white instead of cutting anything.

Which browsers does it work in?

Chrome and Edge 94+, Safari 16.4+ and Firefox 130+ — the browsers with WebCodecs, the API this tool uses to encode. On an unsupported browser the page says so before you get to picking a file.
