Turn a wide clip into a vertical or square one, or cut a region out of a screen recording. Drag the box on the frame, lock it to 9:16, 1:1 or another ratio, and crop one clip or a whole batch. Your footage stays on your computer.

How it works
MP4, MOV, MKV, WebM, AVI and M4V all work. Phone videos crop the way you see them.
Lock it to Free, 1:1, 4:5, 9:16, 16:9 or 4:3, or type the exact position and size.
The same box applies across the batch, or give any clip its own crop in the Crop studio. Each saves as an MP4.
New to Hangar? How to run a tool, step by step
Choose the shape
Locking a ratio keeps the box the right shape while you frame the subject. Free lets you cut any region, like a single window from a screen recording.
A vertical cut from wide footage.
Best for Reels, TikTok and Shorts.
A square, framed where you want it.
Best for feeds and profile videos.
Any rectangle you draw.
Best for cutting a region out of a screen recording.

The alternative
Editors can reframe with keyframes and follow a moving subject, which a fixed crop can’t. For one vertical crop across a batch of clips, that is a lot of setup.
Who uses it
Reframe a 16:9 shoot to 9:16 for Reels and Shorts without re-editing it.
Hangar for video and social creatorsCrop a screen recording down to one window before it goes into the docs.
Make 1:1 cuts of a campaign’s clips in one batch.
Hangar for marketers and content teamsOne app, one payment
The same app trims, converts, compresses and captions video and audio, and does the same kind of work for PDFs and images. One payment covers every tool.
A typical routine
Crop to 9:16. Then scale the clip to the platform’s size and compress it for upload.
Every tool is free for 3 days, with no account and no card. After that, Hangar is a one-time payment from $45, with updates for the version you buy. There is no subscription.
No. Cropping does not scale the picture, it only cuts away the outside. A 9:16 cut from 4K footage comes out around 1206 by 2144 pixels, and from 1080p footage it is smaller.
Yes. Click 9:16 under Aspect ratio, then drag the box to frame the subject, and every frame is cropped to it.
Yes. The crop works from the frame as you actually see it, so footage with a rotation tag crops correctly.
Yes. The sound is carried through, copied without re-encoding when possible.
No. Your files are processed on your computer and never sent anywhere. Hangar sends anonymous usage counts to improve the app, never file names or contents, and you can turn that off in Settings.
Yes. A license works on any mix of Mac and Windows computers. Solo covers 1 computer, Crew 3 and Fleet 10.
Then pay once, from $45, for every tool and the updates for your version. No subscription. 30-day refund.See plans
