Resize Video
Change a video's resolution to a preset or custom size.
How to resize video
- Drop a video in.
- Pick a resolution preset — 1080p, 720p, 480p — or enter custom dimensions.
- Resize and download. The output file will be considerably smaller if you are downscaling.
About this tool
Resizing and compressing are related but distinct operations. Compressing keeps the resolution the same and adjusts the bitrate to make the file smaller. Resizing changes the actual pixel dimensions. Often the most effective size reduction combines both: dropping from 4K to 1080p eliminates 75 percent of the pixels before the encoder even starts, meaning a much smaller file without needing aggressive compression on the remaining pixels.
The standard presets cover the most common use cases. Custom dimensions are there for specific platform requirements — some video hosting platforms enforce exact pixel counts, and advertising networks often specify unusual dimensions like 1200×628 or 600×500.
