About
Crop a video to a new frame with this free online video cropper. Pick Free, 16:9, 9:16, 1:1, 4:5 or 4:3 under Aspect Ratio, then drag the box over the part of the picture you want to keep. It works with MP4, MOV, WebM and MKV files.
Drag the box to move it, or drag one of the white handles on its edges and corners to resize it. A preset keeps the shape you chose and sets the box to the largest size that fits the picture, centred. The box stays inside the picture, and the Dimensions panel shows the output size and the offset of the box.
Click Crop Video to write a new file with the crop applied, then click Download Cropped Video to save it. The sound is kept when the video has any. The video is processed in your browser and not uploaded, and the page adds no watermark.
