Why resize a video

Type the pixels, or pick a preset

Enter a width and a height, scale by percentage, or choose a standard screen size from HD up to 8K UHD. Set one side on its own and the other follows the original proportions.

The sizes a platform expects

Presets for an Instagram post or story, a Facebook post or story, an X post, a Pinterest pin and a LinkedIn post, so you do not have to look the numbers up.

You decide how it fits

Stretch to the new size, zoom in and crop, or keep the proportions and fill the gaps with white, black or blurred bars. There is also a setting that never enlarges a video.

Every way to say how big

With Video2Edit's online video resizer, you can quickly resize your videos to meet any platform or requirement.

Need to change the aspect ratio or reduce file size? This tool makes it easy.

Give a width and a height in pixels, or fill in one of them and let the other follow the source proportions. Prefer to think in percent? Scale anywhere from 1% to 400%, where 100% keeps the current size, 50% halves it and 200% doubles it.

The screen presets cover HD (1280 x 720), Full HD (1920 x 1080), 2K QHD (2560 x 1440), 4K UHD (3840 x 2160) and 8K UHD (7680 x 4320).

All of it sits in the settings panel beside the uploader.

Ratios, devices and social sizes

Aspect ratio mode reframes the video to a shape while keeping its resolution: 1:1, 16:9, 9:16, 4:3, 3:4, 3:2 or 2:3. Use it when the shape is the requirement and the exact pixel count is not.

Device mode sets a width and lets the height follow: 1920 pixels for a desktop screen, 768 for a tablet, 320 for a phone and 768 for something you plan to attach to an email.

Social mode fills in both sides for you: an Instagram post at 1080 x 1080 or story at 1080 x 1920, a Facebook post at 1200 x 630 or story at 1080 x 1920, an X post at 1200 x 675, a Pinterest pin at 1000 x 1500 and a LinkedIn post at 1200 x 627.

How the picture fills the new size

New dimensions rarely match the old shape exactly, so the resize options decide what happens to the difference. Stretch fills the frame and accepts the distortion. Fill (Zoom) keeps the proportions and crops whatever falls outside. Fit keeps the proportions too, and pads the empty space with white bars, black bars or a blurred copy of the video itself.

Never enlarge is the safety setting: a video already smaller than the size you asked for is left at its own resolution instead of being blown up.

The same panel can change the frame rate on the way through, anywhere from 1 to 120 frames per second. Leave that field empty and the original frame rate is kept.

Free to use, and private by default

Resizing a video is free and needs no account. MP4 is what most people bring, and MOV, AVI, WEBM, MKV, WMV and the rest work the same way; add several files at once and each comes back as its own video with the same settings applied.

The output is MP4, the format that plays on the widest range of phones, browsers and players. You can also paste a link instead of uploading, or pull the file in from cloud storage.

Processing is fully automated: nobody watches your videos and they are never used to train AI models. You keep the copyright and the ownership of both the video you upload and the one you get back.

Questions about resizing video

What size should I resize my video to?

It depends on where the video is going. For a social platform, pick the matching preset and the numbers are filled in for you. For a screen, the HD to 8K presets cover the standard resolutions. For anything else, type the width and height you were given.

Will resizing lose quality?

Making a video smaller usually looks clean, because there is more detail in the source than the new size needs. Making it larger cannot invent detail that was never recorded, so a video scaled well above its own resolution looks softer. Stretching to a different shape also distorts the picture, which is what the Fit and Fill options are there to avoid.

Can I change the shape without cropping anything?

Yes. Choose one of the Fit options and the whole frame is kept, with the leftover space padded by white bars, black bars or a blurred copy of the video. Fill (Zoom) is the opposite trade: nothing is padded, and the edges that do not fit are cropped away.

Does resizing make the file smaller?

Fewer pixels normally means fewer megabytes, so scaling a video down does reduce its size. If a specific file size is what you are after rather than specific dimensions, the compress app aims at a figure in megabytes directly.

Can I resize several videos at once?

Yes. Add as many as you like and each one is resized separately with the same settings, then returned as its own file.

What format do I get back?

MP4, whatever you upload. It plays on essentially every phone, browser and player, and resizing is free and needs no account. A paid plan raises the upload limit and how many files you can process at once.
