Portrait to landscape converter video online: fit, crop or fill the frame

Use this portrait to landscape video converter online free to reshape a clip with no editing software. Upload an MP4, MOV or WebM, choose Wide (16:9) for landscape, Tall (9:16) for portrait or another size, and decide whether to keep the whole frame on a background or crop it. You can trim the clip, mute it and download an MP4 with no added watermark. It works in both directions, so landscape and portrait clips can each become the other.

Turn portrait video into landscape without cropping

To make vertical video horizontal, upload the vertical clip and keep Wide (16:9), the default size. The converter fills the empty sides of the frame with a blurred copy of the video, a solid color, a gradient, a design or your own photo, while Keep whole video leaves the full picture in the middle. A playback preview shows the framing first, so you can check it before you convert.

  1. Upload an MP4, MOV or WebM video.
  2. Pick Wide (16:9) under Aspect ratio.
  3. Choose Keep whole video, then a Background style.
  4. Check the playback preview.
  5. Select Convert video free and download the MP4.

Convert landscape video to portrait without cropping

To turn a landscape video into portrait, choose Tall (9:16) and leave the fit setting on its default, which keeps the whole picture. That is all you need to convert horizontal video to vertical: the landscape video sits in the middle of the tall frame, and the space above and below is filled with the background you choose, so nothing is cut off. That space is a fill, not new scenery, because the converter does not generate anything outside the original frame. For a square clip, choose Square (1:1).

Crop video to portrait or landscape and choose what stays

To convert portrait to landscape video by cropping instead, choose Crop to frame, which fills the whole canvas and cuts away whatever does not fit. Drag the preview, or use Horizontal position, Vertical position and Crop zoom (1× to 3×) to choose the part that stays. The crop is fixed for the whole clip and does not follow a moving subject, so play the preview from start to end before you convert. Reset crop returns to the center. Stretch to exact size changes the proportions of people and objects, so use it only when you want that.

Landscape and portrait sizes, square and custom dimensions

The Aspect ratio list covers landscape and portrait shapes in one place: Wide (16:9), Landscape (4:3), Ultrawide (21:9), Tall (9:16), Portrait (3:4), Vertical Portrait (4:5) and Square (1:1), among others. Choose Use Custom under Output size to type your own Width and Height instead. Every size is a canvas, so the same Keep whole video, Crop to frame or Stretch choice decides how your clip sits in it.

Trim, mute and export the video as an MP4

Open Trim and enter a start and end time in seconds to keep only part of the clip. Output holds Export quality and Mute audio. The converted file is an MP4 with no added watermark, and the Download button sits under each converted video. With a paid plan or an active pass, Batch videos converts several clips with the same size and background settings, each with its own trim, and offers a ZIP of the results. To loop a few seconds as an animation, make a GIF from the clip, and for the cover of a YouTube upload, add a headline to a 1280 × 720 thumbnail.

Before you convert

  • Keep the page open while the video uploads and converts; a long clip takes longer.
  • A MOV preview may not play in every browser, so check the converted MP4 afterward.
  • Resizing re-encodes the video, so it is not lossless and cannot add detail the source lacks.
  • There is no flip, rotate or speed control; the tool changes shape, background, crop and length.
  • For still photos, use the portrait to landscape photo converter, which can also extend the scene.

  2. Choose your aspect ratio and select Keep whole video or Crop to frame.
  3. Preview the clip, adjust the background or crop, and convert.

How to convert landscape video to portrait without cropping?

Upload your horizontal video, choose Tall (9:16), and select Keep whole video. Choose blur, a color, a gradient, a design, or your own background photo, then convert and download. The full original frame stays visible inside the portrait canvas. The added space is a background fill; it does not reconstruct scenery outside the original video.

Is this a portrait to landscape video converter AI tool?

This converter uses standard video resizing and compositing, not AI. It does not generate new scenery, remove a moving background, or automatically track a person. If you are looking for a portrait to landscape video converter AI free, the free fit and crop options here may solve the framing task without generation. AI background extension remains available in the separate photo converter.

Can I convert horizontal video to vertical online free with AI?

You can convert horizontal video to vertical online free here using a background fill or a manually positioned crop. This tool does not include AI video generation or subject tracking. Use the playback preview to check that moving subjects stay inside a fixed crop, or choose Keep whole video to preserve the full scene.

How to convert portrait video to landscape in Canva?

The basic steps are to place your portrait clip on a landscape canvas, fit or crop the picture, and export. In Pixoate, upload your video, choose Wide (16:9), select Keep whole video or Crop to frame, and preview the result. Use Trim if you only need part of the clip, then download your MP4.

Do I need a portrait to landscape video converter app?

You can use this browser tool on a phone, tablet, or computer without installing a separate converter app. Keep the page open during upload and export. Browser playback support varies by codec, so an uploaded MOV may need conversion before your browser can preview it.

Which video aspect ratios and backgrounds are available?

Choose from Portrait (3:4), Vertical Portrait (4:5), Classic Movie Poster (2:3), ISO A-Series (1:1.414), Landscape (4:3), Square (1:1), Horizontal Landscape (1.91:1), Wide (16:9), Productivity Widescreen (16:10), Ultrawide (21:9), Panoramic (5:2 / 2.5:1), Tall (9:16). You can also enter even custom dimensions between 16 and 4096 pixels per side, up to 8.8 megapixels. Background options include blur, solid colors, two-to-six-color gradients, the design library, and uploaded JPEG, PNG, or WebP photos.

Can I trim a longer video before converting it?

Yes. Open Trim and enter the start and end times in seconds. The preview plays the selected segment, and the export keeps only that segment with its audio unless muted. Duration limits apply after trimming: Free allows 60 seconds, passes 10 minutes, Premium 20 minutes, Pro 40 minutes, and Scale 120 minutes per video. Upload size limits still apply to the original file. In a batch, select each video above the preview to set its trim separately.

Will my converted video keep its audio and quality?

The export keeps an audio track when present unless you choose Mute audio. MP4 exports use H.264 video and AAC audio at up to 30 frames per second. Resizing re-encodes the video, so it is not a lossless conversion. The quality slider balances file size and visual detail; a larger canvas cannot recover details missing from the original clip.

Can I convert several vertical videos to horizontal at once?

Yes, with a paid plan or an active pass. Switch to Batch videos and add the clips. Every video uses the same size, fit and background settings, each keeps its own trim, and the files can be downloaded individually or as a ZIP.

What happens to my video after I convert it?

Files are uploaded for conversion and removed under our Security policy. Download the finished MP4 before you close or leave the page, and convert again if you need another copy.

Which formats does the portrait to landscape converter video accept, and what do I get back?

You can upload MP4, MOV or WebM files. The download is an MP4 whichever format you started with, with your audio kept unless you choose Mute audio.

Why does my converted video have blurred bars or borders?

Keep whole video fits the entire picture inside the new shape, so the leftover space is filled with the background you chose. Pick Crop to frame to fill the whole canvas, at the cost of cutting the edges, or choose a size closer to the original shape to reduce the borders.

Can I use it as a vertical video converter for TikTok, Reels or Shorts?

Yes. Choose Tall (9:16), the vertical preset, then select Keep whole video to show everything or Crop to frame to fill the screen. Trim the clip and convert. Check each platform's current length and file rules before you post.

How to change a video from vertical to horizontal without black bars?

Choose Wide (16:9) and leave the fit setting on its default, then pick Blur, Color, Gradient, Designs or Photo as the background so the empty sides are filled instead of left black. Blur repeats a soft copy of your own video behind the sharp one. Crop to frame removes the bars completely by trimming the top and bottom.

Can a landscape to portrait converter video AI follow the subject or extend the scene?

No. This converter uses standard resizing, not AI, so it does not follow a moving subject or generate scenery outside the original frame. Keep whole video fills the extra space with a background, and Crop to frame uses a fixed position that you set and preview. For a still photo, the photo converter can extend the scene.

How to make a video vertical from a horizontal clip?
