How to make a horizontal video vertical (9:16) without cropping people out

Updated · AI Video Expand

Instead of cropping the sides of a 16:9 video (and losing whoever stands there), expand it to 9:16: the whole frame stays, and AI paints new picture above and below it. On AI Video Expand upload the clip, pick 9:16, ⁠$4.99⁠ for up to 10 seconds.

Step by step

  1. Upload the clip on the home page: MP4 or MOV, up to 60 seconds and 95 MB, no sign-in needed. Trim a longer video to the part you need first.
  2. Pick 9:16 (16:9, 9:16, 1:1, 4:5, 5:4) and 720p or 1080p. The price goes by the clip's length and shows before you pay.
  3. Pay for just that clip: 720p: ⁠$4.99⁠ for up to 10 seconds, ⁠$9.99⁠ up to 20, ⁠$29.99⁠ for a full minute; 1080p costs twice that. One payment per clip, no subscription; or credit packs from ⁠$12.99⁠.
  4. Wait about 1 to 3 minutes. The expanded MP4 shows up in My videos, with your clip's own sound and no watermark.
  5. Download it (on iPhone, Save to Photos) and upload it where you need it.

When cropping is better

If the subject is already in the middle and nothing important is at the sides, a plain crop is free and sharper. Expanding is for clips where cropping would cut someone or something off.
