  4. 4

    Download and share

    Your new vertical video is ready to download in a high-resolution format. Share it directly to TikTok, Instagram Reels, or any other mobile platform.

Stop spending hours manually reframing your horizontal videos for mobile. Our AI portrait video converter does the heavy lifting for you. Simply upload your landscape video, and our AI will instantly reformat it into a vertical masterpiece, ready for any social media platform. This automated process saves you time and effort, allowing you to focus on creating more content. Repurpose your existing video library for platforms like TikTok and Instagram Reels in a fraction of the time it would take with traditional editing software.

Never lose sight of the action. Traditional cropping can awkwardly cut off the main subject of your video. Our AI-powered smart framing technology intelligently detects the key subjects and motion in your footage. It automatically adjusts the vertical frame to ensure the most important part of your scene is always in view, creating a professionally reframed video that looks like it was originally shot in portrait mode. This means no more tedious manual adjustments or keyframing to follow the action; the AI handles it all for you.
