A video cropper removes pixels from the edges of a video frame, keeping only a chosen rectangular region — the opposite of resizing with padding, since cropping actually cuts away unwanted parts of the picture rather than adding black bars around it.
Choose from a set of common crop presets — trimming a thin border from all edges, pulling a centered vertical strip out of a widescreen video for a portrait-style crop, pulling a centered horizontal strip, or cropping to a perfectly centered square — and the tool cuts every frame of your video to that exact region.
This is the tool to reach for when a resize with padding isn't what you want — for example, turning a landscape video into a tight square crop for a profile-style post, focusing in on the center of the action, or removing an unwanted logo or timestamp burned into the edge of a recording.
Because cropping only removes existing pixels rather than adding new ones, it never introduces blur or stretching — the remaining footage keeps its original sharpness throughout, unlike upscaling or resizing operations that have to invent or interpolate pixel data.
If you're not sure which crop best suits your footage, preview the original clip first to identify where your main subject sits in the frame, then pick the preset that keeps that subject centered in the cropped result.
Cropping and resizing solve different problems: crop when you want to remove part of the frame entirely, and use our Video Resizer instead when you want to change the overall aspect ratio while keeping the full original picture visible. In short, this tool gives you precise control over exactly which part of the frame stays in the final video.
Cropping is also a quick way to remove distracting elements sitting right at the edge of a frame — a stray hand, a corner of furniture, or a visible microphone — without needing a full editing timeline just to trim a few pixels off one side.
Because the crop applies uniformly to every frame from start to finish, it works well for static-camera footage where the subject stays roughly centered, but can cut off a moving subject if the camera pans significantly during the clip — for panning footage, review the preview carefully before committing to a crop.
This tool pairs naturally with the Video Resizer: crop out the exact region you want first, then resize the cropped result to the precise pixel dimensions a specific platform expects, giving you full control over both content and final size in two quick steps.
Try it any time part of your frame needs to go — whether that's dead space, an unwanted object, or just tightening the composition around your subject.
A tighter crop can also draw more attention to your main subject by removing empty or distracting space around it, which is often worth the trade-off of a smaller overall frame.
Cropping cuts away part of the frame permanently; resizing changes the overall dimensions while trying to keep the full picture visible, usually by adding padding.
The current version offers curated presets covering the most common crop needs; a custom pixel-coordinate option is on our roadmap.
No, cropping simply removes pixels outside the selected region — the remaining footage keeps its original sharpness.
Yes, crop first with this tool, then run the cropped result through our Video Resizer if you also want to change its aspect ratio for a specific platform.
