## Overview

The Video Crop tool allows you to easily crop your video files to precise pixel dimensions and positions. By specifying the width, height, and X/Y coordinates, you can remove unwanted outer areas, focus on specific subjects, and export the cropped video in MP4, WebM, MKV, or its original format.

## Inputs

- **Video File** (file): Select a video file to crop
- **Crop Width (pixels)** (number): e.g., 1920
- **Crop Height (pixels)** (number): e.g., 1080
- **X Position (pixels from left)** (number): e.g., 0
- **Y Position (pixels from top)** (number): e.g., 0
- **Output Format** (select)

## When to use

- When you need to remove black bars, borders, or unwanted background elements from a video.
- When you want to focus on a specific subject or region of interest within a video frame by defining precise pixel coordinates.
- When preparing video clips for social media or specific display layouts that require exact aspect ratios or dimensions.

## How it works

- Upload your video file (up to 500MB) into the designated file input area.
- Enter the desired crop width and height in pixels, along with the X and Y starting coordinates from the top-left corner.
- Select your preferred output format (MP4, WebM, MKV, or keep original) and click the crop button to process and download your video.

## Use cases

- Cropping out a watermark or timestamp located at the corner of a recorded video.
- Reframing a landscape video to a square or vertical layout by defining specific pixel dimensions and offsets.
- Isolating a specific screen region from a software demo or screen recording.

## Frequently asked questions

### What video formats can I upload for cropping?

You can upload any standard video file format, provided the file size does not exceed 500MB.

### How do the X and Y coordinates work?

The X coordinate sets the starting point from the left edge of the video, and the Y coordinate sets the starting point from the top edge.

### Can I change the file format of the cropped video?

Yes, you can choose to export the cropped video as MP4, WebM, MKV, or retain the original file format.

### What happens if I leave the width and height fields blank?

If left at their default values, the tool will not apply any cropping dimensions, so it is best to specify your target pixel dimensions.

### Is there a file size limit for the video I want to crop?

Yes, the maximum supported video file size for upload is 500MB.
