Worked example
A 1920 x 1080 interview cropped to 9:16 gives a 608 x 1080 box. Slide the horizontal position to 30 percent to keep the speaker in frame, and download name-cropped-608x1080.mp4 with the original audio.

Frequently asked questions
Which ratio should I use for TikTok, Reels or Shorts?
9:16. For an Instagram feed post use 1:1 or 4:5, and for YouTube use 16:9.
Is the sound kept?
Yes. The audio track is kept and saved as AAC in the MP4.
Does cropping lower the quality?
The cropped area keeps its original pixels, but the clip must be re-encoded. High quality keeps it close to the source; Small file saves space.
Why can't I crop outside the frame?
The crop box always stays inside the frame. Its size is limited to the source width and height, and dimensions are rounded to even numbers, as H.264 requires.
Is my recording uploaded?
No. FFmpeg runs in your browser, so the file stays on your computer. Clips up to 250 MB are supported.
