Three ways to fill a tall frame

Blur places your whole video in the middle over a soft, blurred copy of itself. Nothing is lost, and it looks deliberate.

Crop fills the screen and trims the sides. Use the position slider to keep the subject in frame.

Bars keeps the whole video with plain black above and below.

Blur Crop Bars

Which one to pick

  • Talking to camera in landscape? Crop, with the slider on your face.
  • Scenery, groups or text across the frame? Blur.
  • Want it to look like a film clip? Bars.

Questions

How do I change a video to 9:16?
Drop it in above. FitReel makes a 1080 × 1920 version straight away with a blurred background. Switch to Crop to fill the screen, or Bars for plain black above and below.
Will my video be stretched?
No. FitReel never stretches. Blur and Bars keep the whole picture, and Crop trims the sides evenly, or wherever you move the slider.
Does it work for TikTok and YouTube Shorts?
Yes. They use the same 9:16 shape and 1080 × 1920 size.
Is my video uploaded anywhere?
No. FitReel runs in your browser and makes the new video on your own device. Your video is never sent to a server, and there is no account to create.
Which browsers work?
Recent versions of Chrome, Edge and Safari on phones and computers. Firefox works too, but on some systems it may not be able to save H.264 video. Very long or 4K videos can take a while on older phones.
