Crop Video
Media & Video StudioDraw a crop box over the frame and export the cropped region.
What is Crop Video?
Crop Video cuts your footage down to a rectangular region of the frame, right in your browser. Set the crop width, height, and offsets in pixels, then export a tightly framed MP4. The re-encode runs locally with in-browser FFmpeg (WebAssembly), so your video is never uploaded.
How to use Crop Video
Add your video
Drag a file onto the drop zone or click to browse. MP4, MOV, and WebM work best. A preview appears and the in-browser engine loads automatically.
Set the crop size
Enter the Width and Height in pixels for the region you want to keep. These default to the video's full dimensions, so start there and shrink to taste.
Position the crop
Use Left offset and Top offset to move the crop box, measured in pixels from the top-left corner of the frame. Increase the left offset to move right, the top offset to move down.
Crop and download
Click Crop video to re-encode the cropped region to MP4 (H.264), then download it. Values are rounded to even pixels as H.264 requires. Everything is processed on your device.
