Can I make a vertical video from a horizontal one?

Yes — choose 9:16 and position the subject.

Can I add bars instead of cropping?

Yes, choose Fit and pick the frame color.

Does cropping lower the quality?

The output keeps the source detail at the resolution you pick.

Drag the dial for fine rotation; 90° / Reset for quarter-turns.

Frame rate fps

Frames per second. Higher = smoother but heavier; capped at the source rate.

Play faster or slower (25–400%). Slower = more frames, bigger file.

Width px

Output width in pixels (height follows the frame).

Resolution

Output resolution — the short side (so 1080p → 1920×1080 landscape or 1080×1920 vertical). Capped at the source — no upscaling.

Video bitrate (Mbps): higher = sharper, bigger.
