Crop a video for TikTok (9:16), face-tracking reframe

Turn a landscape or square video into a vertical 9:16 clip built for TikTok. Supercut reframes while tracking the subject so they stay centered, and it all runs in your browser, your footage is never uploaded.

How it works

  1. 1

    Drop your clip

    Add your video to the editor. It loads locally in your browser with no upload step.

  2. 2

    Ask to reframe to 9:16

    Say “crop to 9:16 for TikTok” and let Supercut track the subject so they never drift out of frame.

  3. 3

    Export vertical

    Preview the vertical cut and export a TikTok-ready 9:16 file, processed entirely on your device.

Tips

  • Use smart reframe so the subject stays centered as they move.
  • Keep headroom when shooting so 9:16 cropping does not clip faces.
  • Add captions after reframing, not before.

Why it stays private

Supercut decodes, edits and exports your video entirely in your browser with WebAssembly. Your video files never leave your device. To plan the edit, the AI gets your request, the words said in your clip and its sound levels (both worked out on your device), and a few low-resolution frames only if you turn that on.

Frequently asked questions

Will the subject stay in frame when cropping?

Yes. Supercut can track the subject while reframing, so the action stays centered instead of getting cut off at the edges.

Can I also crop for Reels or Shorts?

Yes. 9:16 works for TikTok, Instagram Reels and YouTube Shorts. Supercut also supports other aspect ratios and platform presets.

Is the video uploaded to crop it?

No. Reframing and cropping happen in your browser. The footage never leaves your device.
