Auto reframe video with AI subject tracking

Why Cropus

Reframing that thinks like an editor

  • Finds the subject

    Cropus works out who or what each shot is about — a dancer, a player, a speaker, a product — and tracks it.

  • Moves like a camera operator

    The crop eases into motion and settles when the subject stops, instead of jittering frame by frame.

  • Understands scene cuts

    On a hard cut the frame jumps to the new position at once, so you never see a pan across two shots.

  • Every ratio from one analysis

    The subject is found once; each extra format reuses it, renders quickly and costs no minutes.

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.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

What is auto reframe?

Automatic reframing changes a video's aspect ratio by cropping it, while moving the crop so the main subject stays in view. It replaces keyframing a crop by hand in an editor.

How does Cropus decide what the subject is?

An AI vision model looks at frames sampled from your video, recognizes the kind of scene and locates the main subject in each one. Cropus then smooths those positions into a steady camera path.

Can I see what the AI tracked?

Yes. On the video page, “Check tracking” plays your source with the subject outlined and the crop window drawn for each format. If you'd rather not crop at all, choose Fit to keep the full frame.

Do I need video editing software to reframe?

No. Upload a file, choose formats, download the results. There's no timeline and nothing to keyframe.

Which aspect ratios can I reframe to?

9:16 for Shorts, Reels and TikTok, 4:5 for portrait feed posts, 1:1 square and 16:9 landscape. Pick any combination; they share one analysis.

What happens if reframing fails?

If the analysis can't be completed after automatic retries, the minutes for that video are refunded to your balance.
