Crop Use Cases by Platform

Instagram Reels and TikTok (9:16)

Crop a landscape video to a 9:16 portrait ratio for vertical short-form content without re-shooting.

Instagram Feed (1:1)

Square crops work best for Instagram grid posts — crop once and it fits perfectly without letterboxing.

Zoom In on a Subject

Crop out a distraction at the edge of the frame or zoom into a specific area to improve the visual composition of a clip.
