Frequently Asked Questions

How do I crop a video online?
Upload the video, set Width × Height for the region you want to keep, set X / Y Offset for where the region starts, click Process. The video cropper runs in your browser via FFmpeg WebAssembly and finishes in seconds for short clips, minutes for long ones.
How is this video cropper different from Clideo or Online-Convert?
Speed and privacy. Clideo / Online-Convert upload your video to their server, queue it, re-encode, and send it back — slow on long videos and your file briefly lives on their disk. This cropper runs locally in your browser; nothing leaves your device and there's no queue. Free with no watermark or sign-up cap.
How do I remove black bars from a video?
Measure the visible content area (you can use the preview to eyeball it), then set Width × Height to the content size and X / Y Offset to skip the bars. Example: a 1920×1080 video with letterbox bars has content at 1920×800 starting at Y=140 — those four numbers crop the bars out cleanly.
How do I crop a video to square for Instagram?
For a 1920×1080 source, set Width=1080, Height=1080, X=420, Y=0 to extract a 1080×1080 square from the center. For TikTok / Reels vertical (9:16), use Width=1080, Height=1920 on a tall enough source (or pair with our video resizer after cropping).
Does the cropper preserve audio?
Yes — the audio track passes through unchanged. Only the video stream is re-encoded to the new dimensions.
Can I crop an image instead of a video?
Yes — drop a JPG, PNG, or WebP onto the same cropper and it'll crop the image with identical pixel-precise control. Output is a clean PNG or your chosen image format.
What happens if I set the crop area larger than the video?
FFmpeg clamps it: anything beyond the video boundary gets ignored, and you end up with the largest valid sub-region. To avoid this, keep Width + X Offset within the source width, and Height + Y Offset within the source height.
