Question 1

Does video cropping upload my file?

Accepted Answer

No. Cropping is done locally in your browser; the video never leaves your device.

Question 2

What's the difference between cropping and scaling?

Accepted Answer

Cropping removes parts of the frame to keep only a selected area (the image gets smaller, composition changes); scaling changes the resolution of the entire image (content remains the same). This tool is for cutting out unwanted areas, like removing black bars or changing to vertical format.

Question 3

How do I crop for a vertical phone screen?

Accepted Answer

Select the 9:16 aspect ratio, and the tool will automatically center and take the largest vertical area from the original frame. You can also manually enter width, height, and offset values for precise control.

Question 4

Does cropping reduce video quality?

Accepted Answer

The quality within the cropped area remains unchanged. Only the retained part is re-encoded using high-quality parameters, resulting in minimal loss.
