Frequently Asked Questions
- How do I convert a 4:3 video to 16:9?
- Upload your 4:3 video and apply a horizontal stretch factor of approximately 1.33x. This widens the frame from the 4:3 standard ratio to 16:9 widescreen. The content will be slightly distorted since it's being stretched, not cropped.
- Will stretching 4:3 to 16:9 look distorted?
- There will be some visible stretching since the content is being widened. For a distortion-free conversion, consider using Crop Video to crop the top and bottom, or Letterbox to add black bars on the sides instead.

- Yes. This tool is perfect for converting old 4:3 TV recordings, VHS digitizations, or classic video footage to 16:9 widescreen format.
