How this works
Your browser plays the chosen part of the clip while center-cropping every frame to your selected format and drawing it onto a canvas, then records that canvas — combined with the original audio — into a new WebM file. No video is uploaded, and no server-side conversion is involved.
A note on scope
The video is center-cropped (not stretched) to fill the chosen frame, so the sides of a wide shot may be trimmed off. Because recording happens in real time, this takes roughly as long as your chosen clip length. Clips are limited to 90 seconds, and the output is a WebM file, which plays natively in all current browsers and most apps.
Common use cases
- Cut a clip from a longer video for Instagram Reels
- Reformat a video to Instagram's square or portrait feed format
- Prepare a short clip without a phone app

Which Instagram formats are supported?
Reels (9:16), Square feed posts (1:1), and Portrait feed posts (4:5).
Will this stretch my video?
No. It center-crops the frame to fill your chosen shape without distortion, so the far edges of a wide shot may be cut off.
