Center crop vs Smart crop

The crop that keeps up

A plain center crop cuts whatever happens to be in the middle. Smart crop tracks the subject through the shot, so the action never leaves the screen.

A wide 16:9 street shot reframed to 9:16. The center crop stays put, so the dancer walks out of the frame and you’re left with bystanders; Smart crop finds the dancer and pans with them, smoothly, like a camera operator.
  • Smooth camera

    The crop glides with your subject. No jitter, no seasick jumps between frames.

  • Cuts handled

    On a scene cut the frame jumps cleanly to the new shot instead of panning across it.

  • Blur fill

    Balanced and Fit fill the bars with a soft, blurred copy of your video — or classic black.

  • Every format at once

    Pick every aspect ratio together. One analysis powers them all, so extra formats are quick and free.

Made for

Any video with a subject worth following

  • Dance & music

    Performers cross the stage; the vertical frame crosses with them, beat for beat.

  • Sports

    Follow the player making the play, not the empty half of the pitch.

  • Talking heads & podcasts

    Keep the speaker centered for clips, even when they lean, gesture or walk the set.

  • Gaming & streams

    Turn stream highlights into vertical clips; Balanced and Fit keep more of the game on screen.

  • Product & UGC

    Hands, products and models stay in shot for ads, unboxings and reviews.

FAQ

Questions, answered

What does Cropus do?

It turns one video into vertical, square and landscape versions — 9:16, 4:5, 1:1 or 16:9 — and moves the crop through every shot so the main subject stays in frame.

Is Cropus free?

Every new account gets 5 free minutes, no card needed. After that, buy a minute pack from $10 or subscribe from $12 a month.

How are minutes counted?

By the length of the video you upload, rounded up to the next 6 seconds — a 47-second clip uses 0.8 min. You pay once per video; every format you make from it is free.

What kind of videos work best?

Anything with a clear main subject: dance and music performances, sports, talking heads and podcasts, gameplay with a facecam, product clips. Smart crop follows one main subject at a time.

How long can my videos be?

Up to 60 minutes each (120 on Pro) and up to 4 GB per file. MP4, MOV, WebM and most other common video files work.

What quality are the downloads?

MP4 files with your original sound and no watermark. Vertical videos come out at up to 1080×1920; the exact size depends on the resolution of your source.

How long do you keep my videos?

Uploads and outputs are deleted automatically 7 days after upload, or 30 days after upload if, when you upload, you have a plan in force or have ever bought a minute pack. Download what you need before then.

Do I need to install anything?

No. Cropus runs in your browser: sign in with Google, upload a video, download the results.
