Crop Image to 9:16 (Vertical)

Locked to 9:16, cropped in your browser.

9:16 is the upright full-screen ratio for phone-first video and stories. Cropping to 9:16 fills the whole display on Reels, TikTok, and Shorts with no black bars, matching a 1080x1920 frame. Because platform buttons sit along the edges, leave a margin around anything important. Nothing is uploaded.
