# Resize Video for YouTube Shorts

> This free tool resizes your video to YouTube Shorts' vertical 9:16 format (1080×1920), directly in your browser. It crops to fill so the Short uses the whole screen with no black bars. No upload, no watermark, no sign-up.

Runs entirely in your browser — the file never leaves your device, no signup, free.

## How it works

1. Drop in your video — any format works.
2. The tool crops it to 9:16 (1080×1920) for YouTube Shorts, with no stretching or black bars.
3. Download the reframed video, ready to post.

## FAQ

### What aspect ratio do YouTube Shorts use?

YouTube Shorts are vertical, using a 9:16 aspect ratio (1080×1920 pixels). A video that isn't vertical may show black bars or get letterboxed, so reframing to 9:16 first gives a clean full-screen Short.

### How do I convert a normal YouTube video into a Short?

Download the clip you want, drop it into this tool, and it crops the centre to a 9:16 vertical at 1080×1920 — the right format for a Short. The reframing runs in your browser, nothing is uploaded.

### Is my video uploaded to a server?

No. The reframing happens entirely in your browser on your own device — your video is never uploaded, nothing is stored, and there is no watermark. That makes it safe to use even on unpublished or private footage.
