# Crop Video

Crop any video online. Drag to select the region, pick a social aspect ratio, and export — no upload, no watermark, processed in your browser.

**Use this tool:** [Crop Video](https://findutils.com/media/video-cropper/)

## Programmatic access

- Browser-only: this tool works on a file, the DOM, or a browser API and has no REST or MCP id.

## Why use our Video Cropper?

Our video cropper lets you cut a video down to the exact region you want by dragging a selection box right on the preview. Pick a social-media aspect ratio or crop freely. It works with MP4, WebM, MKV, and MOV files up to 500 MB and runs entirely in your browser on WebCodecs, driven by the Mediabunny library. Nothing is uploaded, so private footage stays on your device. The output keeps its audio track and carries no watermark, unlike most online video editors.

## Tips for Best Results

- Use the aspect ratio presets to match a platform exactly, then fine-tune by dragging the box.
- Cropping re-encodes the video, so very large files take longer on slower devices.
- The crop region readout shows the exact output dimensions in pixels before you export.
- Audio is preserved automatically. To remove it, run the result through the Mute Video tool.
- Crop before adding captions or overlays so the framing is locked in first.

## Frequently Asked Questions

### How do I crop a video online?

Upload your video, drag the selection box on the preview to frame the area you want, then click Crop Video. The cropped file downloads with no watermark and no signup.

### Are my videos uploaded to a server?

No. The crop is re-encoded in your browser with WebCodecs and the video file never leaves your device. The page loads ad and analytics scripts as most sites do, and they never see your file.

### Does cropping keep the audio?

Yes. The audio track is preserved in the cropped output. To remove it, run the result through the Mute Video tool.

### Can I crop a video to a square or vertical shape?

Yes. The aspect ratio presets include 1:1 for square, 9:16 for vertical, 16:9 for widescreen, and more. You can also crop freely to any shape.

### What video formats are supported?

The cropper accepts MP4, WebM, MKV, and MOV files. MP4 and MOV inputs are saved as MP4, while WebM and MKV inputs are saved as WebM.

### Is there a watermark on the cropped video?

No. The output has no watermark and no branding. It is ready to upload or share immediately.

### Does cropping reduce video quality?

Yes, slightly. Cropping re-encodes the selected region, so there is a small quality change as with any re-encode. The tool uses a high-quality setting to keep the result visually close to the source.

### Is there a file size limit?

Yes. The tool accepts videos up to 500 MB and rejects anything larger before reading it. Within the cap, cropping re-encodes the selected region, so a long clip takes longer on a slower device.
