How It Works

1

Upload your horizontal video

MP4, MOV, MKV, or WebM up to 2GB. Drag and drop or click to browse. The vertical video converter accepts standard 16:9, square, and any other source aspect ratio.

2

Pick crop or blur bars

Crop center-cuts to 9:16. Best for talking heads, vlogs, and any source where the subject sits in the middle of the frame. Blur bars scales the original to fit width 1080 and fills the rest of the canvas with a Gaussian-blurred copy of the same footage. Best for screen recordings, slide decks, and wide shots where the sides matter.

3

Download the vertical MP4

VidClean re-encodes to 1080x1920 MP4 with libx264 (CRF 23 veryfast) and AAC audio (128kbps), then serves it back with faststart for instant playback. Ready to upload to TikTok, YouTube Shorts, or Instagram Reels without any further conversion.

Who uses this

Creators repurposing horizontal YouTube footage as Shorts. TikTok creators converting a wide camera roll clip to 9:16 before posting. Designers turning a screen recording into an Instagram Reel. Anyone who needs a vertical video converter that does one thing well and skips the editing UI.

Drop your video, choose how to fill the vertical frame, get a clean MP4 back. No editor required.

Need to cut down the length first? Run it through Trim Video. Need to drop the audio? Use Mute Video.
