Frequently Asked Questions

Crop or letterbox — which should I use?

Crop fills the whole 9:16 frame but cuts the sides, which works when the subject is centered. Letterbox keeps the entire picture and adds bars.

Can I change the bar color?

Yes. Pick any color for the bars before exporting.

Is my video uploaded?

No. Your file never leaves your device — processing runs locally in the browser using WebCodecs.

Is it free?

Yes. It is free with no account and no watermark.
