Re-encoding happens on this device. Nothing is uploaded to us.

Three steps, no account

01

Drop a video in

Any MP4 or WebM, and MOV when the codec inside it is one your browser plays. It's read straight off your disk — nothing is uploaded.

02

Drag the frame where you want it

Safe-area overlays show what each app's interface will sit on top of, so faces and captions stay clear.

03

Export the new ratio

Encoded to MP4 on your own machine, in real time, with the audio passed through from the source.

Questions people ask

Something not covered? [email protected] reaches a person.

Will it lose quality?

One re-encode, which is visually lossless for anything you'd post socially. The panel tells you how much of the original frame survives the crop and whether it is being enlarged — a 16:9 source cropped to 9:16 keeps about a third of the picture and blows it up nearly 1.8×, which is inherent to the shape change rather than to this tool. If you need a true lossless crop, do it in an editor that can copy the stream.

How long does exporting take?

About as long as the clip. The browser encodes the reframed canvas as it plays, so a two-minute video takes two minutes and the tab has to stay open. That is the price of not uploading anything and not shipping a 25MB codec to your browser.

How big a file can it handle?

There is no upload, so there is no size limit — but the whole clip is decoded and re-encoded live, so very long or very high-resolution files will tax the machine rather than a server. A few minutes at 1080p is comfortable; a 4K hour is not.

Can it follow a moving subject?

No. The crop is one fixed position for the whole clip. Auto-reframing that tracks a face is a genuinely different piece of software, and doing it badly is worse than not doing it.

Does it keep the audio?

Yes — the audio track is taken from the source and muxed into the export untouched. If a file exports silent, its audio codec is one the browser can decode but not re-record; converting to MP4 first fixes it.

Reframed it — now caption it

A vertical crop without captions still loses the people watching with the sound off. Upload the video and we'll write them — five dollars a month.
