Frequently Asked Questions

What's the difference between Stretch, Crop, and Pad?
Stretch distorts the video to fill the new ratio. Crop trims the edges to fit — no distortion but some content is lost. Pad (Fit with Bars) adds black bars to preserve all content without distortion.
How do I convert 4:3 video to 16:9?
Upload your 4:3 video, select 'Crop to Ratio' mode and '16:9 Widescreen' as the target. The top and bottom will be trimmed to fill the widescreen frame. Or use 'Fit with Bars' to add pillarbox bars instead.
How do I make a vertical video horizontal?
Upload your 9:16 vertical video, choose 'Crop to Ratio' and '16:9 Widescreen'. The sides will be cropped to create a horizontal video. For no cropping, use 'Fit with Bars' to add side bars.
