How it works

How to resize a video on Mac or Windows

  1. Drop one clip or hundreds

    MP4, MOV, MKV, WebM, AVI and M4V all work.

  2. Set the size

    Type a width and height, or tap 1080p, 720p or 480p.

  3. Choose Fit, Fill or Stretch

    Fit keeps the whole picture, Fill covers the frame and crops the overflow. Every clip saves as an MP4.

New to Hangar? How to run a tool, step by step

Choose how it fits

Fit, Fill or Stretch. No black bars added.

When the new shape differs from the old, something has to give. Fit keeps the whole picture, Fill keeps the frame size exact, and Stretch keeps both by changing the shape.

  • Fit

    Start here

    The whole picture, no distortion.

    Best for bringing 4K down to 1080p or 720p.

  • Fill

    The exact frame size, edges cropped.

    Best for ad specs and fixed slots.

  • Stretch

    Exactly your numbers, shape ignored.

    Best for the rare spec that must match to the pixel.

The alternative

Why not use an online video resizer?

Online resizers work for one short clip. Long or 4K files mean a long upload before anything happens.

Questions

Before you download

More answers in the help center.

Is it really free?

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.

Does resizing make the file smaller?

Usually, when you go down in resolution. To hit a specific file size, run Compress video afterwards and use its Target size mode.

Can I avoid black bars?

Yes. No mode adds bars. Fill scales the clip to cover the exact frame size and trims the overflow. Fit keeps the whole picture, so one side may come out smaller than your numbers.

Does it keep the aspect ratio?

In fit and fill modes, yes. Stretch is there for the times you need an exact size regardless of shape.

Can I resize many videos at once?

Yes. The same target applies across the batch, and the audio is copied through when it can be.

Does anything get uploaded?

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.

Does one license cover Mac and Windows?

Yes. A license works on any mix of Mac and Windows computers. Solo covers 1 computer, Crew 3 and Fleet 10.
