About this tool
Video Transform crops, resizes, rotates, or flips a video, right in your browser. Drag out a crop area (freeform or a preset ratio), or use a quick position or exact pixel size instead, pick a rotation, flip horizontally or vertically, and resize to an exact width and height, all previewed on the current frame before you download. Since it re-renders the clip frame by frame, exporting takes about as long as the clip itself. Nothing ever leaves your device.
Rotate, flip, and resize apply first, and crop applies last, on top of that already-transformed frame -- which is why the crop box you drag always lines up with what you see in the preview, rather than the video's original, pre-rotation orientation. Cropping only narrows the final exported canvas size; it never shrinks the live preview itself, so you can always see what's outside the crop while adjusting it. Resizing locks the aspect ratio by default, so typing a new width automatically works out the matching height -- uncheck that box if you specifically want to stretch or squash the video instead.
Frequently asked questions
In what order do rotate, flip, resize, and crop get applied?
Rotate, flip, and resize apply first, then crop applies last, on top of that already-transformed frame. That's why the crop box you drag always lines up with what's shown in the preview, rather than the video's original orientation before rotating. Rotating or resizing after setting a crop clears it, since those change the frame the crop was measured against.
Why doesn't cropping shrink the preview I'm looking at?
Cropping only narrows the final exported video's canvas size -- the live preview keeps showing the full rotated/flipped/resized frame with the crop area outlined as an overlay, so you can always see what's outside the crop and readjust it without losing sight of the rest of the frame.
Does the transformed video keep its original audio?
Yes -- the original audio track passes straight through to the exported file, unaffected by any crop, rotation, flip, or resize applied to the video.
Why does exporting take as long as the clip itself?
This tool re-renders the video frame by frame in real time rather than decoding and re-encoding it faster than playback speed, so a 90-second clip takes about 90 seconds to export. That's the tradeoff for doing this entirely in the browser with no heavier video-processing library involved.
