Crop a Video to Vertical

Paste or upload a horizontal video and Cliphi crops it to vertical 9:16, keeping the subject in frame.

How it works

1
Paste a link or upload your video
Drop in a supported video link or upload a file. Cliphi reads the frame and the audio.
2
AI reframes to vertical
Cliphi finds the subject and keeps them centered, tracking the speaker and the action as they move.
3
Post or keep editing
Get a vertical clip ready to post, or adjust the framing, add captions, and a music bed before you do.

A wide video reframed to vertical, keeping the subject in shot

16:9 to 9:16, subject intact

A 16:9 video doesn't fit a vertical feed. Cliphi crops it to 9:16 with the subject in mind, so you don't lose the person talking to a slice down the middle.

Adjusts as the video plays

A crop box in an editor is fixed for the whole clip, so the moment the speaker steps aside they're gone. Cliphi moves the crop as the video plays.

The subject stays centered

Cliphi tracks the speaker and the action and keeps them in the vertical frame, so you never lose the important part to a fixed crop.

Crop to 9:16 without losing the subject

A 16:9 video does not fit a vertical feed, so it has to be cropped to 9:16. The problem with a plain crop is that it takes a fixed slice down the middle and cuts off whatever drifts to the side, which is usually the person talking. Cliphi crops with the subject in mind. It tracks the important part of the frame and keeps it inside the 9:16 crop, so you do not lose the speaker or the action.

From one horizontal video to a vertical clip

Paste a link or upload the file and Cliphi handles the crop for you, with no dragging a crop box frame by frame. For more than one person, it can cut between them or stack them in a grid so everyone stays visible rather than half out of shot.

It can output 9:16, 1:1, or 16:9, so you are not locked to one shape. And since Cliphi clips, the same video can come back as captioned vertical clips with the crop already applied, ready for TikTok, Reels, and Shorts.

A plain crop in a video editor is fixed for the whole clip, so the one time the speaker steps to the side, they are gone. Cliphi adjusts as the video plays, which is the difference between a crop that technically fits 9:16 and one that actually keeps the subject on screen. You can hand it a single video or a long one, and either way the cropping is handled rather than something you nudge frame by frame.
