Resize Video

Core access Supported local processing No Pixlane watermark

Scale supported video to a target resolution with fit (letterbox), fill (crop), or stretch modes. Available codecs and hardware acceleration vary by browser and 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.

Managed bitrate target

The H.264 path targets about 0.1 bits per pixel; output size and visible detail vary with the source, dimensions, encoder, and browser.

How to resize a video

  1. Open the tool and add your video Select a compatible file for Resize Video.
  2. Review and adjust Choose a target resolution (1080p, 720p, 480p or a custom size) and a fit mode.
  3. Export and download Review the exported result from Resize Video, then download it.

Frequently asked questions

Will resizing blur my video?

Resizing can soften detail, especially when enlarging or using a low output bitrate. Standard upscaling stretches existing pixels; the AI Video Upscaler can propose learned detail, but its result also depends on the source.

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?

When compatible passthrough is available, the audio track is copied without audio re-encoding. Check the export because support varies by input and browser.

What's the difference between fit, fill and stretch?

Fit pads to preserve aspect ratio; fill crops to cover the target; stretch forces the target dimensions and may distort the image.

Can I resize without losing quality?

Any pixel resize can change detail, and the export may be re-encoded. Downscaling usually preserves more apparent sharpness than enlarging; review the output at its target size.
