About Crop Video
Crop Video cuts a rectangular region out of a clip — you set the crop width, height, and top-left position to keep exactly the part of the frame you want. It's the tool for reframing footage, removing black bars, or focusing on one corner of the picture. Processing runs in your browser, so the video stays on your device.

Frequently asked questions
How do I specify the crop area?
You enter the crop width and height plus the top-left X/Y position, which defines the rectangle kept from the frame.
What's the output format?
The cropped video is rendered as an MP4.
Does cropping change the resolution?
Yes — the output resolution becomes the crop dimensions you set, since everything outside the rectangle is discarded.
Is my video uploaded?
No. Cropping happens locally in your browser; the footage is never transmitted.
Which input formats are supported?
Any common browser-readable video format (video/* input), such as MP4, MOV, and WebM.
