Why use Video Cropper
Most video editors require you to download software, export a full project, or pay for a subscription just to change the frame size. Reclip's free online video cropper skips all of that — upload your video, drag the crop region, and download a clean MP4 in seconds. It supports all major aspect ratios (9:16, 16:9, 1:1, 4:3, 4:5, 21:9) and free-form cropping, and runs entirely in the cloud so there's nothing to install.
Supported formats
Input: MP4, MOV, AVI, MKV, WebM. Output: MP4. Supports up to 4K resolution. No watermark added to output.
Frequently asked questions
Clear answers to get you started fast.
How do I crop a video online for free?
Upload your video to Reclip's Video Cropper, drag the crop handles to select the region you want, then click Crop Video. A free Reclip account is required — sign up takes under a minute.
How do I crop a video to 9:16 for TikTok or Reels?
Select the 9:16 preset from the aspect ratio panel before or after uploading. The crop box snaps to a perfect vertical frame, centered on your video. Drag it to reposition on the subject, then export.
Can I crop a video to a square (1:1) for Instagram?
Yes. Select the 1:1 preset and the crop box locks to a square. Drag to center on your subject, then download the cropped MP4.
Does the cropped video have a watermark?
No. Reclip does not add any watermark to your output file.
What video formats does the cropper support?
You can upload MP4, MOV, AVI, MKV, and WebM files. The output is always a clean MP4.
Is there a file size limit for video cropping?
File limits depend on your Reclip plan. Free accounts can crop standard-length videos. Sign up to check the current limits.
Can I crop to a custom size instead of a preset?
Yes. Select Free mode in the aspect ratio panel and drag the handles to any dimensions you need. You can also type exact pixel values directly into the X, Y, W, H fields.
Will cropping reduce my video quality?
No quality is lost from the cropping operation itself. The output is re-encoded to MP4, which preserves the resolution of the cropped region.
Can I crop video without downloading software?
Yes. Reclip's Video Cropper runs entirely in the browser and cloud — no app or plugin needed. Just upload and crop online.
Can I trim the video after cropping?
Yes — use Reclip's Video Trimmer to cut the start and end after cropping, or run both operations back to back.
