How to use it
Crop area
The crop is set in coordinates over the frame. Everything outside it is discarded, and the final resolution matches what remains.
Centring
Check the preview before processing: cropping too much can cut subtitles that sat near the edge.
Audio
The track is fully preserved; only the picture is cropped.
Examples in practice
Removing black bars
A video with side bars is cropped on those edges and the frame fills the usable area.
Bringing the subject closer
A stage recording is cropped in the centre to highlight the speaker.
Frequently asked questions
Does cropping change resolution?
Yes, the final resolution is that of the cropped area, smaller than the original.
Can I crop to a fixed ratio?
The area is freeform; for a specific ratio, compute the sides or crop and then use the resizer.
