FAQ

How do I turn a landscape video into portrait for TikTok or Reels?

Select 9:16 (Portrait), upload your landscape video, and the tool will center-crop it automatically. The key parts in the middle of the frame are kept while the left and right edges are removed — perfect for repurposing YouTube or camera footage to TikTok, Instagram Reels, and YouTube Shorts.

What aspect ratio should I use for each platform?

9:16 for TikTok, Instagram Reels, and YouTube Shorts. 1:1 for Instagram feed posts and Facebook ads. 16:9 for YouTube, Vimeo, and most web players. 4:3 works well for slideshows and presentations.

Will cropping make my video look blurry?

No. Cropping trims the edges rather than stretching or scaling, so the remaining area stays at its original quality. The file is re-encoded with high-quality settings to keep things sharp. Just note that the output resolution will be smaller since some pixels are removed.

Can I choose exactly which part of the frame to keep?

This tool uses center cropping with preset aspect ratios, which works great for most cases. If you need to pick a specific region (e.g., follow a subject off-center), you can use the FFHub API directly with custom crop coordinates.

When should I use a 1:1 square crop?

Square videos work best for Instagram feed posts, Facebook carousel ads, and LinkedIn video posts. They also look clean in email marketing and product demos where you want a balanced, attention-grabbing format.
