Crop a video online

Crop a video to just the region you want with this free online video cropper that works entirely in your browser. Load an MP4, WebM, MOV or MKV clip, drag the crop box over a preview of the first frame, resize it by the corner handle, and export the cropped result. Cropping runs locally with ffmpeg.wasm, so your video is never uploaded and never leaves your device. The original audio track is copied through unchanged, and the output keeps the same format as your source. No sign-up, no watermark, and no software to install.

🔒 100% private — files never leave your device

Frequently asked questions

Is my video uploaded to a server?

No. The whole crop runs locally in your browser with ffmpeg.wasm, so your video never leaves your device and nothing is uploaded.

Which video formats can I crop?

You can crop common formats like MP4, WebM, MOV and MKV. The cropped clip keeps the same container as your source — MP4 stays MP4, WebM stays WebM, and so on.

Why is the first crop slow?

The first run downloads the roughly 30 MB ffmpeg engine. After that it is cached in your browser, so later crops start much faster and even work offline.

Is the audio kept after cropping?

Yes. Only the picture is cropped to your selected rectangle; the original audio track is copied through unchanged.

How do I choose the exact crop area?

A frame of your video is drawn onto a canvas so you can drag the box to reposition it and drag the corner handle to resize it. The on-screen selection is mapped back to the real source pixels before cropping.

Is there a file size or length limit?

There is no fixed limit, but because everything runs in your browser, very large or long videos use more memory and take longer. If a big clip struggles, try a shorter or lower-resolution source.
