Crop Video — free online tool

Crop Video runs entirely through temporary, in-memory processing: your file is uploaded, processed with FFmpeg, streamed back to you, and deleted immediately — nothing is stored permanently.

How it works

How cropping works

Crop Video removes pixels from the edges of each frame, keeping only the rectangular region you specify (position and size), and re-encodes the result at the new, smaller frame size.

Common uses

Cropping is useful for removing black bars, changing aspect ratio (e.g. widescreen to square/vertical for social posts), or focusing on part of the frame.

Limitations

Uploads are capped in size for reliable processing, and only MP4, MOV, WEBM, MKV files are accepted here. For very large files or advanced editing needs, dedicated desktop software may work better.

Frequently asked questions

How precise is the crop?

You specify the exact position and size in pixels, so the crop is pixel-accurate to what you set.

Can I crop and resize at once?

This tool only crops. Use the Video Resizer afterward if you also need specific final dimensions.
