What it's good for

Reframe once, post everywhere

One video in, the right ratio out

Vertical for TikTok

Turn a landscape clip into a full-screen 9:16 video for TikTok and Shorts.

Square for feeds

Crop to 1:1 so a clip fits neatly in a grid or feed post.

Remove dead space

Trim empty bars and edges to put the focus back on the subject.

Repurpose old footage

Reframe existing videos for a new platform without re-shooting.

How it works

A video cropper that runs in your browser

Reframing a video usually means opening heavy editing software or uploading to a site and waiting. VidTools crops locally instead: it reads your clip in the browser, applies the frame you set, and renders a clean MP4 — without your footage ever leaving your device. Pick a ratio, drag the box, and export.

Built for vertical platforms

9:16 is the default for TikTok, Reels, and Shorts. VidTools makes it one tap to reframe a horizontal clip into a full-screen vertical video.

Precise, visual cropping

Drag the crop box over a live preview so you can see exactly what stays in frame before you commit to the export.

Frequently asked questions

How do I crop a video?

Drop your MP4, MOV, or WebM into the box at the top of this page, choose a preset ratio or drag the crop box, and export. The cropped MP4 is rendered in your browser.

Is the video cropper free?

Yes. It's completely free with no limits, no subscription, and no account required.

Which aspect ratios can I crop to?

Presets include 9:16, 1:1, 4:5, and 16:9, plus a custom frame you can drag to any size.

Is my video uploaded anywhere?

No. The clip is read locally in your browser and never sent to a server. Close the tab and it's gone.

Does cropping reduce the quality?

Cropping keeps the pixels inside the frame at their original quality; you're removing area, not compressing what's left.
