Video for shorts
Turn a horizontal recording into something a vertical feed accepts: crop the frame to the centre and bring it to 1080 pixels tall.
Up to 3 files, 500 MB each
About this tool
- Where it runs
- On the server: a browser cannot do this kind of work. The file is uploaded only for as long as the job takes and deleted right after — two hours without an account, twenty-four hours with one.
- What it accepts
- video, MP4, MOV, MKV, WEBM, AVI, M4V. The type is determined by the file contents, not by its extension.
- Limits
- Up to 3 files at a time, each up to 500 MB, 1 GB in total.
More in Video
- Convert videoTurn a video into MP4, WebM or MKV. MP4 plays everywhere, WebM is for the web, MKV is what you usually need to open somewhere else.
- Crop video frameCut the frame to the ratio you need — vertical for a feed, square for a post. Nothing is stretched: only the excess is removed.
- Compress videoFit a recording into a given number of megabytes — to send by email or messenger. We work out the bitrate for your limit and encode in two passes to hit it.
- Resize videoConvert a recording to 1080p, 720p, 480p or 360p. Width follows the original proportions, so nothing gets stretched. Upscaling is refused: it adds no detail and only inflates the file.
- Trim videoCut out a fragment by timecodes. The stream is copied without re-encoding, so it is fast and lossless. If the cut cannot land on a keyframe, we re-encode and say so.
- Remove audio from videoDrop the sound track. The picture is copied as is — no quality loss and no waiting.
- Video to GIFBuild a GIF from a fragment. The palette is generated for your specific video in a separate pass — without that you get noise instead of a picture.
- Add subtitles to videoBurn subtitles into the picture or attach them as a track. Burned-in subtitles show everywhere, even where nobody turns them on; attached ones the viewer can switch off, and the picture is not re-encoded.
- Video thumbnailGrab a frame for a cover or preview. Exactly one frame is decoded, so an hour of video costs no more than a minute.
- Video for a messengerSqueezes the recording to 24 megabytes — a size that passes both mail and messengers. The bitrate is computed for your file; the audio stays.
