Why cropping beats stretching
Uploading a horizontal video to a platform built for vertical content usually means the platform crops or letterboxes it for you, unpredictably. This tool lets you choose the exact ratio yourself and crops from the center, so you control what stays in frame instead of leaving it to the app.
The output keeps your video's original resolution — this tool only changes the aspect ratio, it never scales the video up or down, so there's no quality loss from resizing.

Frequently asked questions
Will this stretch or distort my video?
No, the video is always cropped from the center to the ratio you pick, never stretched.
Does it also change my video's resolution?
No, only the aspect ratio changes. If your clip is 1920×1080 and you crop it to 9:16, you'll get 608×1080 (or similar), not a fixed size like 1080×1920.
