How do I crop a video to a different shape?
Pick the shape you need and which part to keep: the centre, or the left/top or right/bottom edge. The video is cut to that shape at full resolution, without stretching or black bars. Square suits Instagram and Facebook posts, 9:16 suits TikTok, Reels, Shorts and Stories, and 16:9 suits YouTube.
It runs in your browser with ffmpeg, so your video is never uploaded. Files up to about 120 MB work best.

Questions
Will cropping make my video blurry?
No. Pixels are cut away, not stretched, so the rest stays as sharp as the original.
How do I make a landscape video vertical for TikTok?
Choose Vertical 9:16 and keep the centre. Most of the sides are cut off, so put the subject in the middle.
Can I add black bars instead of cutting?
Not here. Cropping fills the whole frame, which is what social apps prefer.
