Resize your video for Instagram Reels

Reels wants 9:16, feed prefers 4:5, your footage is 16:9. CleanReel reframes to either shape with a smooth AI virtual camera that follows faces and motion, or fits the full frame over blurred bars.

Open the studio — free preview

Real capture: the subject tracker keeps the crop centered as the clip reframes to 9:16.

For content you own. Only upload videos you own or are licensed to edit. Uploads auto-delete within ~6 hours, results are never re-watermarked, and you see a free preview before paying anything.

Why CleanReel instead of cropping or blurring?

Crops lose framing and blur boxes draw the eye. CleanReel reconstructs the background with neural inpainting and shows a quality score, so the edit is invisible — and previews are free, so a result that isn't clean costs nothing.

FAQ

Which ratio should I pick for Instagram?

9:16 for Reels and Stories, 4:5 for feed posts, 1:1 for grids — you can export each from the same upload.

Will text or logos near the edges get cut?

Smart crop centers on subjects, so edge graphics can crop out — use Fit + blurred bars when edge content must survive.

Is the export re-compressed?

It's re-encoded at high quality (CRF 16) with your audio copied through.
