For YouTubers turning regular landscape uploads into vertical Shorts that qualify for the Shorts shelf.
YouTube Shorts must be vertical (9:16) and short, so repurposing a clip from a regular landscape video means cropping it to vertical first. This tool reframes your footage to 9:16 in the browser, with zoom so you can keep the important action in frame when going from wide to tall. Because it runs locally, your video isn't uploaded to a server, and the export carries no watermark — so your Shorts look clean and native rather than stamped by a third-party editor. It's perfect for slicing highlights out of long-form videos, reframing a talking-head segment, or converting a square clip into a Short. Drop in the clip, pick 9:16, set the framing, and download a vertical video ready to upload as a Short. Free, private, watermark-free, and with no account required to export — which is exactly what most online video tools won't give you.
