A little less work. A little more you.

Resize video without uploading it

Use fewer pixels when you do not need the original resolution. Kitecut can resize your video on your device while preserving its aspect ratio.

How to use it

Choose your video. The starter plan caps its shorter side at 720 pixels, without upscaling a smaller video.
Change the resolution in the resize step to suit your output. Add compression if you also need a specific file-size goal.
Run the plan, preview text and fine details in the output, and download the result.

Resolution is not the same as file size

Resolution describes pixel dimensions. File size also depends on duration, bitrate, audio, and encoding settings. A 720p export is not guaranteed to fit a particular attachment limit.

A smaller resolution can be useful for previews or sharing. It may make small text harder to read, so check screen recordings and slides carefully.

Keep the whole frame

The resize step preserves the aspect ratio rather than cutting away the sides. Use a crop when you want to change a wide composition into a vertical or square one.

If the source already has fewer pixels than your target, resizing cannot recover missing detail. Keep a high-quality original for future versions.

Questions before you start

Will resizing make my file smaller?

It can, but the result depends on duration and encoding settings too. Use a compression size target when attachment size is the primary requirement, then check the output.

Can I change a landscape clip into portrait by resizing?

Resizing preserves the existing aspect ratio. Use the crop tool to change the frame's shape, accepting that some of the picture will be removed.
