Resize video for Reels and Shorts

Switch your footage to 9:16 and choose what stays in view. For screen recordings, you can keep the whole image with letterboxing.

An example of a ready-made vertical design. The presenter and the speech are created separately, the editing and subtitles are made in AICutter.

What you will get

A video in 9:16, 1:1 or 16:9, with the subject and text framed as you intended.

How it works

  1. Select the format

    For a vertical video, set 9:16 in the project or clip settings. The original recording may have a different aspect ratio.

  2. Identify an important area

    In fill mode, part of the wide image will be cropped. Adjust the frame position; if the entire screen is important, select save as a whole with margins.

  3. Check all the scenes

    The object can move. Look at the beginning, middle, and end of each scene, then check if the captions have been cut off.

  4. Export MP4

    Select an available resolution. For vertical Full HD, this is 1080x1920; check the file on your phone before publishing.

Frame cropping and time cropping

The format defines the width and height of the image. If you need to remove the seconds at the beginning or end, use the video trimming tool.

A screen, slides and two people

A narrow frame can hide part of the presentation or the interlocutor. Saving the original frame with margins is often more useful than trying to fill the entire vertical canvas.

What to consider before starting

There is no promise of continuous monitoring of an active speaker. Basic mode auto-framing and manual positioning require viewing the result. Increasing the resolution does not restore the lost source details.

Questions about the tool

Is it possible to make a horizontal video vertical?

Yes, by cropping or placing the full image with margins. The choice depends on which details need to be saved.

Is it possible to return the horizontal format?

Yes. Change the aspect ratio in the project and re-check the position of the text and frame before exporting.
