Resize Video
Scale any video to a target resolution with fit (letterbox), fill (smart crop) or stretch modes. Powered by hardware WebCodecs — your file never leaves the device.
Standard ladders
One-click 1080p / 720p / 480p plus vertical 9:16 and square 1:1 presets.
Three fit modes
Fit pads with black bars, fill crops to cover, stretch ignores aspect — you choose.
Bitrate handled for you
Pixlane picks a clean ~0.1 bits-per-pixel H.264 ladder so output stays sharp without bloating.
How to resize a video
- Open the tool and add your video. Open Pixlane Resize Video and drop your MP4 or MOV (or choose a file). It loads instantly and is processed on your device — nothing is uploaded.
- Adjust. Choose a target resolution (1080p, 720p, 480p or a custom size) and a fit mode.
- Export and download. Click Resize & export and download the result — free, no watermark, no signup.
Frequently asked questions
Will resizing blur my video?
Downscaling keeps things crisp. Upscaling stretches existing pixels — for real detail recovery try the AI Video Upscaler.
Can I convert vertical to horizontal?
Yes — pick a 16:9 preset with fill mode, or use the Reels resizer for the opposite direction.
Is the audio re-encoded?
No, the audio track is passed through as-is.
What's the difference between fit, fill and stretch?
Fit pads with black bars to preserve aspect; fill crops to cover the target with no bars; stretch forces the exact size and may distort.
Can I resize without losing quality?
Downscaling stays crisp. To enlarge beyond the source resolution, use the AI Video Upscaler for real detail instead of a soft stretch.
