How to Crop a Video with VideoBee

Three steps in the video cropper, right in your browser — nothing to install.

Step 1 — Upload a video

Choose a video from your device or drag and drop it into the upload area. Supports MP4, MOV, AVI, and other popular formats.

Step 2 — Adjust the frame

Drag the video cropper's frame over the part you want to keep, or pick a preset ratio like 9:16, 1:1, or 16:9. You can type the pixel width and height to set any size you want. The video cropper online updates your preview in real time.

Crop video online free

The whole tool runs in a browser tab — no software to install. Free means free: no paid tiers, no credits, no trial timer, even for large videos up to 5 GB.

Aspect ratio presets

One click for 9:16 — the vertical ratio for TikTok, Reels, and Shorts; 1:1 for square posts on Instagram and LinkedIn; 16:9 for YouTube and desktop; or 4:3 for older footage. Choose the ratio that fits the platform you are posting to.

Custom crop size

When no preset fits, drag a free selection over any part of the frame, or type exact pixel dimensions and use a preset ratio to guide your framing. Remove the edges you don't want and keep the part you do.

30+ Format Support

Upload MP4, MOV, AVI, MKV, WebM, and 30+ more formats — no conversion needed. Export your cropped video as a clean MP4 when you're done.

No watermark

Your export comes out clean — no watermark, ready for clients, channels, or ads. And there is no sign-up gate: open the page, crop, download, done.

Private by default

The video cropper processes files in the cloud, and result files are automatically deleted after processing, typically within 24 hours. Never used for AI training.

Why choose our video cropper for every scenario

Crop videos for social media, remove unwanted edges, fix awkward framing, or focus on the subject. Adjust the frame in a few clicks and get a clean result that fits your use case.

Turn Landscape Video Vertical

Turn a landscape clip into a vertical 9:16 video for TikTok, Reels, or Shorts. Position the frame around the action, then export and post — no timeline editing needed.

Make a Square Social Clip

Crop landscape or vertical footage into a 1:1 square for Instagram and LinkedIn feeds. Keep the subject centered and remove the extra edges — same shot, new shape.

Remove Black Bars

Black bars make useful footage look smaller on screen. Crop them away or let the video cropper reframe the shot to 16:9 for YouTube and desktop playback.

Remove Unwanted Edges

Crop out a cluttered desktop, an unwanted person at the edge, or other distracting areas. Drag the crop box freely in the video cropper, or enter exact dimensions for precise framing.

How people use our video cropper

Recorded a webinar in 16:9 but needed a square clip for an Instagram post. Two drags — no account, no watermark — and the square export fit the feed perfectly.

My phone clips come out as vertical MP4s and I kept getting black bars on YouTube. Cropped the MP4 to 16:9 with one click — now I just drag the frame onto the subject, export, and upload.

YouTuber

A client wanted a 9:16 teaser pulled from a landscape interview. I cropped the frame in the video cropper first, then used cut video to keep the good 30 seconds — same clip, two steps, exactly what the brief asked for.

Tried three "free" croppers that stamped a watermark on export. This video cropper didn't — the download came out clean and went straight into the client deck. That is the whole reason I stayed.

A long screen recording with an app window I did not want to show. Cropped down to just the demo with this video cropper — typed exact pixel dimensions so the frame lined up — then downloaded. No sign-up, nothing to install.

Needed a 1:1 version of a product video for a carousel ad. Picked the preset in the video cropper, dragged the box until the product sat centered, exported. Honestly, writing the caption took longer than the edit.
