Questions

Does cropping lose quality?

The part you keep stays at its own pixels and is encoded again at high quality, so it looks the same as before. Nothing is stretched or enlarged.

How do I make a landscape video vertical for TikTok or Reels?

Choose “Vertical 9:16”, then drag the box over the part that matters, usually the person speaking. The sides are cut off.

Is the sound kept?

Yes. Tick “Remove the sound” if you want a silent video.

Are my files uploaded?

No. The tool runs inside your browser, and the page is blocked from sending data anywhere. You can check by turning off your internet connection: it keeps working.
