Crop Image to 9:16 Vertical
Crop to 9:16 vertical for Instagram Stories, TikTok, Reels and Shorts. Turn landscape photos into vertical hits.
About the Crop 9:16
Stories, Reels, Shorts and TikTok all live in 9:16. Turning a landscape photo vertical means losing the sides — this cropper keeps the most useful center strip so subjects stay framed. The crop is centered; choose an anchor to bias toward the top or bottom.
How it works
From any image, the tool extracts the tallest 9:16 rectangle it can, keeping pixels untouched, and anchors the cut toward the top of the frame by default — which usually keeps faces and headlines intact when slicing a landscape photo into a phone-shaped window.
How to use it
Add up to 10 images, choose top or center anchoring, set output format and quality if you like, then process. Preview each vertical crop and download the batch as files or a single ZIP.
Supported formats & limitations
Accepts .jpg, .png and .webp up to 30MB each, 10 per batch. Horizontal sources lose their sides at 9:16 — dramatic, but often exactly the point. For gentle conversions, crop to 4:5 first, then let the platform pad.
Common use cases
Story covers, Reels and Shorts thumbnails, TikTok backgrounds, phone wallpapers and app splash art. Social teams batch-convert campaign photography into vertical-ready frames in one pass before scheduling.
Frequently asked questions
Where are my images processed?
Everything runs locally in your browser via the Canvas API. Your picture never leaves your machine — there is no upload step at all, so processing is as private as working in an offline editor.
Which file types are supported?
JPG, PNG or WEBP files up to 30 MB each are accepted. Drop in one file or a whole batch (paste and drag also work), check the preview, and export in the format shown at the download step.
How many images can I process at once?
There are no artificial limits: use it as often as you like, free. Practical caps are 30 MB per image and 10 files per batch, and outputs stay watermark-free.
Can I fine-tune the result before downloading?
Yes — settings include Horizontal anchor, Output format. Each run regenerates the preview, so you can compare options before downloading.
