Frequently asked questions
Which size should I use for Instagram, TikTok or YouTube Shorts?
Use 9:16 (vertical) for Reels, TikTok, Shorts and Stories. Use 1:1 (square) or 4:5 for Instagram feed posts, and 16:9 for normal YouTube videos.
Can I remove black bars from a video?
Yes. Choose Free and drag the corners of the box inside the black bars, then save.
Will the cropped video be smaller?
Yes. Cropping removes part of the picture, so the video has fewer pixels and usually a smaller file. You can also choose a smaller output size.
Is my video uploaded?
No. Everything happens in your browser, on your device. Your video never leaves your computer or phone, so it stays private and there's no size limit from us.
