## Questions & answers

### Will my video get uploaded to your servers?

No. The converter runs entirely in your browser using WebAssembly, your video never leaves your device, and we keep nothing.

### My source is horizontal, won't the speaker end up cropped out?

Face tracking follows the speaker frame-by-frame and keeps them centered as they move, instead of a fixed center-crop that loses them.

### Do I have to sign up or pay to export?

No signup, no watermark, no paywall. Export as many Shorts as you want, free.

### Can I export at 60fps for smoother motion?

Yes. Choose 30fps or 60fps on export. 60fps is recommended for gameplay or fast action.

### What if I just need to resize without auto-cropping?

Use the [video resizer](/tools/resize-video-online) instead. It changes dimensions without face-aware cropping logic.
