Change Video Aspect Ratio

Video

Drop a video, pick the shape the platform wants, and choose how the empty space is filled.

Loading tool…

Every platform wants its own shape: 9:16 for Reels, Shorts and TikTok, 1:1 or 4:5 for a feed, 16:9 for YouTube and most screens. Changing the aspect ratio of a video means deciding what fills the difference. Cropping to fill is quick but loses the edges — and often the person at the side of the frame. The alternative keeps the whole picture and fills the space around it, either with a blurred, darkened copy of the video itself, which is how most phone apps do it, or with a solid colour of your choice. You see the result before you commit. The video is re-encoded on your device, in real time, with no watermark and no upload.

Need a different limit? Aspect Resizer takes any target, in KB or MB — whatever the form asks for.

How it works

    MP4, MOV or WebM.

    9:16, 1:1, 4:5 or 16:9 — then blurred background, a solid colour, or fill by cropping.

    Press Change aspect ratio

    It re-encodes on your device as the video plays, and downloads when it finishes.

Frequently asked questions

Will it crop my video?

Only if you choose Fill. Blurred background and Solid colour keep the whole picture and fill the space around it, so nothing at the edges is lost.

Why does it take as long as the video?

The browser re-encodes the video in real time as it plays. A one-minute clip takes about a minute; you can stop at any point.

Is there a watermark?

No. The video comes back with nothing added but the new frame.

Is my video uploaded?

No. It is reframed and re-encoded in your browser, on your own device.
