How it works
Drop your video in — landscape, portrait, or anything in between. WavyVid reads its current aspect ratio right in your browser.
It scales and center-crops the footage to fill the target frame exactly, with no letterboxing, stretching, or distortion.
Preview the crop, then download the resized video — ready to post at the platform's expected dimensions.
When you'd use this
- You're posting to the Instagram feed and want your video to take up more screen space than a landscape crop would.
- You're preparing a square ad unit or LinkedIn post that specifically calls for a 1:1 frame.
- You have footage in one aspect ratio and need a consistent square version for a multi-platform posting workflow.
Frequently asked questions
Which side gets cropped for a landscape video?
The left and right edges are cropped in evenly to create a centered square from your landscape frame. If your subject is off-center, check the preview before downloading.
What resolution is the square output?
1080×1080 — a standard, widely-supported square resolution.
Is this good for Instagram feed specifically, or does it work elsewhere?
It works anywhere a square video is useful — Instagram feed, some LinkedIn placements, and square ad units — not just one specific platform.
Can I resize a portrait (9:16) video to square too?
Yes — the same center-crop logic applies regardless of your source's original aspect ratio.
Does square video still perform well compared to vertical?
It takes up less vertical screen space than 9:16 on mobile, but it's still the expected shape for feed posts specifically — matching the platform's default format tends to matter more than raw screen coverage.
