{ } How to use
- Choose the video.
- Enter the width you want in pixels. The height follows automatically.
- Select Process, then download the MP4.
{ } How it works
Resize Video works on the file you upload. Adjust the options, then select Process ▸ and it runs entirely in your browser — nothing is uploaded to a server — then shows the result in the Output panel.
Inputs
- Video file — upload a file (video/*); it is read locally in your browser
- Width (px) — a value (default: "1280")
Output
A downloadable MP4 file — use the Download button in the Output panel.
{ } Common uses
- Bring a 4K recording down to 1080p or 720p to make it manageable.
- Match a width that a site, player or editor expects.
- Reduce a video’s size by lowering its resolution rather than its quality setting.
{ } Limitations
- Only the width can be set. The height is calculated to keep the aspect ratio and then rounded to an even number, because H.264 cannot encode odd dimensions — so the result is occasionally a pixel shorter than the exact ratio.
- Nothing stops you entering a width larger than the original. Upscaling produces a bigger file with no more detail in it.
- The picture is re-encoded and loses a generation of quality. The audio is copied through untouched.
{ } FAQ
Is my data uploaded to a server?
No. Everything runs locally in your browser — your files never leave your device.
Can I process more than one file at once?
Yes — add several files and they’re all processed and downloaded together as a ZIP.
Is this tool free?
Yes — it’s completely free and needs no sign-up.
How do I set the height instead?
You cannot here — this tool takes a width and keeps the aspect ratio, which is what stops a video coming out stretched. When you need exact dimensions that do not match the source ratio, Crop Video cuts a rectangle out, and Video Social Media Resizer fits the whole picture into a fixed frame and fills the space around it.
