Prepare Videos for Different Platforms
Each video platform has its own preferred shape, so a clip that looks right in one place can appear cropped or surrounded by empty space in another. Adjusting the aspect ratio before you publish helps your video fit the screen it will be watched on.
16:9 is the common format for landscape videos, such as standard YouTube uploads. 9:16 is the common format for vertical videos, including YouTube Shorts, Instagram Reels and TikTok. Square and 4:5 portrait formats are also popular in social feeds.
When changing the aspect ratio, you can usually choose between two approaches. Cropping fills the new frame completely but removes part of the picture at the edges. Fitting keeps the whole video visible and fills the leftover space with a background colour or blurred edges.
