Make a vertical video for Shorts

Turn a landscape video into 9:16. Crop it to the part you want, or keep the whole picture on a blurred background.

How it works

  1. Open your landscape video.
  2. Choose "Crop" or "Blurred background". With "Crop", drag the frame to the right spot. Use the yellow handles if you only want part of the video.
  3. Click "Make vertical video". The result is saved as an MP4 file.

Questions and answers

Is my video uploaded?

No. Cutwisp processes the file inside your browser. The video is never sent to a server.

What size is the result?

1080 × 1920 pixels in the 9:16 format. YouTube Shorts, TikTok and Instagram Reels use this format.

How long can a Short be?

YouTube treats vertical videos of up to 3 minutes as Shorts. Use the yellow handles to cut your video to that length.

Crop or blurred background, which one should I use?

Crop fills the whole screen, but you lose the left and right edges. The blurred background keeps everything visible, which helps with slides, screen recordings and group shots.

Which files work?

MP4, MOV, MKV and WebM files in most cases. Your browser has to support the video format inside the file.

Does it cost anything? Is there a watermark?

Cutwisp is free, and it doesn't add a watermark.
