Make a horizontal video vertical
Reels, TikTok and YouTube Shorts are 9:16. A landscape video either gets its sides cut off or is shown tiny with black bars. Frameloom lets you choose, and by default puts the whole picture on a blurred, zoomed copy of itself, the look you see in most professional reposts.
Free to try: a 30-second 1080p clip costs 4 tokens, and you get 30 every week.
How to do it
- Open Reframe for social and drop your file in, or pick it from your device. It stays on your device.
- Check the settings. 9:16 is preselected. Choose Blurred background, Crop to fill or Black bars, and 720p or 1080p.
- Press Run, then preview and download the result.
Blur, crop or bars?
Blurred background keeps everything visible and fills the screen, which suits most footage. Crop to fill makes the subject bigger but cuts off the sides, so it's great when the action is in the middle. Black bars keeps the picture exactly as it was.
Use the “?” next to each setting in the tool to see real examples of all three before you run it.

Questions
- What resolution should I use?
- 1080p (1080×1920) is the most these platforms play. 720p is faster to make and smaller to upload, and looks fine on phones.
- Why is there no 4K option for vertical?
- Reels, TikTok and Shorts play at most 1080×1920 and re-compress anything larger, so a bigger file only makes the upload slower.
- Does it keep the sound?
- Yes. Audio is kept, and copied without re-encoding when possible.
