Frequently Asked Questions About Video Cropping

Is this video cropper really free?

This workflow is available through Magica; access and usage follow your Magica plan.

What video formats can I crop?

You can upload MP4, MOV, WebM, AVI, and MKV files. These cover most videos from phones, cameras, and screen recordings. Your cropped video will be saved as an MP4 file.

What are aspect ratios and which should I use?

Aspect ratio is the width-to-height proportion of your video. Use 16:9 for YouTube and landscape content, 9:16 for TikTok and Instagram Reels, 1:1 for Instagram feed posts, 4:5 for Instagram portraits, 4:3 for classic TV format, and 21:9 for ultrawide cinematic content.

What happens if my crop dimensions are larger than the video?

The tool won't allow you to crop larger than your video's actual dimensions. If you select an aspect ratio that doesn't fit, we'll adjust it to the largest possible size that maintains that ratio.

Can I choose exactly which part of the video to keep?

Yes! You can choose to crop from the center (default), top, bottom, left, or right. The video preview shows exactly which area will be kept so you can see before processing.

Will cropping affect my video quality?

No! Cropping only removes parts of the frame — the remaining video maintains its original quality. The pixels that remain are unchanged, and audio is preserved perfectly without any quality loss.

Can I enter custom dimensions instead of using presets?

Yes! You can switch to custom mode and enter exact width and height values. The tool will automatically adjust to even numbers (required for video encoding) if needed.

Is my video uploaded to your servers?

No! All video cropping happens right in your browser. Your videos are never uploaded to our servers, so your content stays completely private.
