Questions & answers
Shorts are vertical 9:16 at 1080x1920. Pick the 9:16 preset and position the crop; a square or landscape upload still counts as a Short, but it plays with bars instead of filling the screen.
The live preview shows exactly what the 9:16 frame keeps as you drag it. For long videos where the speaker moves, the Shorts converter tracks faces frame-by-frame instead.
No. Cropping runs in your browser, your video never leaves your device, and we keep nothing.
No watermark and no paywall. With a free account the export is a clean vertical file ready for the Shorts upload flow.
One 9:16 crop covers all three platforms. The TikTok crop and Reels crop pages cover their specifics, and the video cropper handles any custom ratio.
