How to make vertical clips from a horizontal video

  1. 1. Drop in your video. MP4, MOV, WebM, or MKV — it opens instantly in your browser. No upload, no account.
  2. 2. Choose clip length and format. Tap a 15s / 30s / 60s / 90s preset, place custom cut points, or set a time range. Pick 9:16 Crop for full-screen vertical or 9:16 Blur BG for the blurred-fill look.
  3. 3. Split and download. Clips render one by one with live progress. Download individually or grab everything as a ZIP — watermark-free and ready to post.

Shorts Studio FAQ

How do I convert a horizontal video to vertical 9:16?

Open the Shorts Studio, drop in your video, and choose the 9:16 Crop or 9:16 Blur BG format. The studio re-encodes each clip to 1080×1920 vertical using your device's hardware encoder, so a landscape recording becomes a full-screen vertical clip ready for Shorts, Reels, or TikTok.

How do I split a video for YouTube Shorts?

Use the Every X sec mode and tap a 15s, 30s, or 60s preset — YouTube Shorts can be up to 3 minutes, but 15–60 seconds performs best. Pick the 9:16 format, split, and download the clips individually or as a ZIP.

Will my clips have a watermark?

No. Every clip exported from the Shorts Studio is watermark-free, in both the lossless Original mode and the re-encoded 9:16 / 1:1 formats.

Is my video uploaded to a server?

No. Like the main SplitVideo tool, the Shorts Studio processes everything in your browser on your device. The original file is never uploaded.

What's the difference between Original and 9:16 modes?

Original mode copies the video stream without re-encoding — it's lossless and instant, and cuts snap to the nearest keyframe. The 9:16 and 1:1 modes re-encode with H.264 (Low / Medium / High quality) so you get exact cut points and a true vertical frame.
