Frequently Asked Questions
How do I crop a video?
Choose a video, then drag on the preview to draw a crop box or pick a shape such as 9:16. Move and resize the box, or type exact pixel values. Set the start and duration if you only need part of the video, then click Export MP4 and download the result.
Can I crop a landscape video to vertical 9:16?
Yes. Choose 9:16 and drag the box over the part of the scene to keep. A 1920 × 1080 landscape video gives a vertical clip about 608 pixels wide and 1080 tall, because cropping cannot add pixels that are not in the source.
Will the cropped video lose quality?
The cropped area is re-encoded to H.264 at its own resolution, up to 1920 pixels on the longer side, and it is never enlarged. Choose Higher quality to keep more detail. Output is limited to 30 frames per second.
What do the pixel values measure?
X, Y, width and height are measured in the video's displayed pixels, after phone rotation and any non-square pixel shape are applied, which is the size your browser shows for the video. The output size is rounded down to even numbers for H.264.
What are the limits?
Upload an MP4, MOV, M4V or WebM video of up to 100 MiB and 30 minutes, and export up to five minutes at a time. The crop must be at least 16 × 16 pixels. The MP4 keeps the first audio track as AAC unless muted and can be up to 80 MiB.
Where are files processed and when are they removed?
Choosing a video only creates a preview in your browser; Export MP4 uploads it to Zutilium's server for processing. After a successful conversion, uploads are scheduled for deletion after about one minute and generated downloads after about ten minutes. Cleanup runs periodically, so removal is not immediate. Save your result promptly.
