How to crop videos

Cropping lets you adjust the frame and remove areas that don't add value. In Reels Editor you can do it in seconds, ideal for adapting content to vertical or square formats without losing quality. The crop tool is built for creators who need to publish quickly and keep visual consistency.

Step by step guide to crop videos

Before exporting, review the preview to confirm the main subject stays centered. For social media, use vertical dimensions for TikTok and Reels, or square if you prioritize traditional feeds. The editor keeps your file local while you make adjustments.

  1. Open the "Crop" tool from the main menu.
  2. Upload your video in MP4 or MOV format.
  3. Select the output width and height for the platform.
  4. Drag the video to adjust the frame.
  5. Preview the result and download the final file.

Tip: if you reuse the same format, save the dimensions to keep visual consistency across posts.
