Make a video 9:16

What this tool does

A 9:16 video fills the vertical screen used by YouTube Shorts, Instagram Reels, and TikTok. VidPatch creates a 720 x 1280 MP4 and gives you two layout choices for different source videos.

Fill frame enlarges and crops the sides to cover the full vertical canvas. Fit video keeps the complete source visible and adds empty space where its aspect ratio does not match. Preview the result to decide which layout protects the important parts of your shot.

How to use it

  1. Choose your original clip

    Select an MP4, MOV, or WebM file up to 250 MB.

  2. Choose Fill frame or Fit video

    Fill avoids borders; Fit prevents the edges of the original from being cropped.

  3. Create and download

    Process the clip locally and save the finished 9:16 MP4.

Tips for a better result

  • Keep faces, captions, and important action near the center of the frame.
  • Leave room near the top and bottom for social app interface elements.
  • Use Fit video when text or people would otherwise be cut off.
  • Watch the full output once before publishing to check every crop.
