Why Cropus

Feed posts that fill the screen

  • Portrait 4:5 for more screen

    4:5 is the standard portrait feed shape — taller than square, so your video covers more of the scroll.

  • Square 1:1 for cross-posting

    Square works on Instagram, Facebook and LinkedIn alike, so one file covers several feeds.

  • Products stay centered

    Hands, products and models move; the crop moves with them, smoothly.

  • Get the Reel too

    Add 9:16 to the same upload for Reels and Stories. Extra formats are free.

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 size is an Instagram portrait video post?

4:5 at 1080×1350 pixels is the standard portrait size. Square posts are 1:1 at 1080×1080.

Is 4:5 or 1:1 better for Instagram video?

4:5 takes more vertical space in the feed, which helps it stand out while people scroll. 1:1 is the safer pick when the same file also goes to other platforms.

How do I post a landscape video on Instagram without it looking tiny?

Reframe it to 4:5. Cropus crops the landscape frame to portrait and follows the subject, so the post fills the width of the phone and the action stays visible.

Can I make the 4:5 and square versions at once?

Yes — both are selected in the form above. One upload, one charge, two files.

What if my subject is near the edge of the frame?

Smart crop finds the subject wherever it is and places the frame around it, instead of taking the center of the picture.

Do I need an app to resize Instagram videos?

No. Cropus runs in your browser on desktop or phone. Upload, choose the sizes, download the MP4s and post them from the Instagram app.
