Instant AI-Powered Video Cropping

Cropping is more than just removing unwanted parts of a video; it is about controlling the narrative. By zeroing in on the most important action in your screen recording, you guide your viewer’s attention and make your content easier to follow. This is ideal for creating effective software tutorials, product demonstrations, or instructional videos where clarity is key. Turn a cluttered desktop recording into a clean, focused presentation that highlights exactly what your audience needs to see and nothing more.

Reframe Your Narrative and Guide Viewer Focus

Prepare your screen recordings for any social media channel with effortless cropping. Need a vertical 9:16 video for TikTok or Instagram Reels? A square 1:1 video for an Instagram post? Just say the word. Tell the AI the aspect ratio or platform you are targeting, and it will reframe your video accordingly. This makes it simple to repurpose one screen recording into multiple formats, ensuring your content looks professional and is optimized for engagement across all your favorite platforms without any hassle.
