Ultrawidify

Removes black bars on ultrawide videos and offers advanced options to fix aspect ratio.

What is Ultrawidify?

Ultrawidify is a cutting-edge Chrome extension designed to enhance your video playback experience on ultrawide screens. It does this by automatically detecting and eliminating unwanted black bars, creating an immersive viewing experience. The extension supports a broad range of sites including YouTube, Vimeo, Netflix, and more. It offers both cropping and stretching features and is perfect for websites that don't support automatic aspect ratio detection, allowing users to manually adjust their settings. Even when faced with DRM-protected sites, users can manually set their preferred aspect ratio, making Ultrawidify a versatile video playback tool. Additional features include aligning video to other than center and manual override for player detection.

Summary

Analyze keywords

Need to remove unnecessary black bars from this youtube video you're watching? Ultrawidify is here for you.

If the extension stretches the video instead of cropping, you're experiencing a Google Chrome bug. Go to chrome://flags/#use-angle and select D3D9.

🌟🌟🌟 MAIN FEATURES 🌟🌟🌟 ⚠️ Features automatic aspect ratio detection (not all sites are supported — support may vary from site to site) ✅ Supports primarily youtube, vimeo, twitch, netflix, but will try to work on any website ↔️ Supports both cropping and stretching ✅ Works with youtube theater mode

❓ How do I use it? If the site does not utilize DRM, you can just sit back and let autodetection handle everything for you. On sites that use DRM — or on videos where autodetection proves unreliable — you can either use the extension popup or the keyboard shortcuts (note that extension shortcuts do not override site's default shortcuts) to set the aspect ratio manually.
