Vertical Video Converter

Filmed in landscape but posting to Shorts, Reels or TikTok? Convert to 9:16 without cropping anyone out: the whole frame sits in the middle on a soft, blurred copy of itself.

Using the Vertical Video Converter

1

Add a landscape clip

Choose a 16:9 video from your device.

2

Convert to 9:16

The tool places the video in a vertical frame and fills the empty space with a blurred background.

3

Post it

Preview the result and save an MP4 ready for vertical feeds.

Why not just crop?

Cropping loses content

A 9:16 crop of a 16:9 video keeps less than a third of the picture.

Nothing is cut off

With a blurred background, every person and detail stays in the shot.

No black bars

The blurred fill matches the colours of your video instead of empty black.

Full screen ready

1080×1920 output fits phone screens edge to edge.

Vertical Video Converter Questions & Answers

Will my video look small?
The original keeps its full width across the phone screen. The blurred area fills the space above and below it.
Is the sound kept?
Yes. The audio track is copied into the vertical version.
Can I add captions afterwards?
Yes. Open the result in the Video Caption Maker and place captions in the blurred area.
What about very long videos?
Short clips convert fastest. For long videos, a computer is noticeably quicker than a phone.

Reusing Landscape Footage on Vertical Platforms

Short-form platforms show vertical video full screen and landscape video as a thin strip. A vertical video converter lets you reuse footage from YouTube, webinars or a camera without filming again.

Use the empty space

The blurred areas above and below your clip are perfect for a headline or captions. Burn them in with the Video Caption Maker, and check that nothing hides under the app buttons with the Safe Zone Checker.

Pick strong moments

Vertical feeds reward short, focused clips. Find the best moments of a long recording with the AI Clip Maker, or cut a section manually with the GIF Maker & Video Cutter.
