Cropper: Vertical Video Editor

Made for Reels, Shorts & vertical feeds. Keep your subject perfectly framed, brighten any clip, and add captions. Export in seconds. No time, no timeline.

Cropper turns any landscape video into a perfectly framed vertical clip — ready for Reels, TikTok, and YouTube Shorts. No cloud uploads. No watermarks. Nothing leaves your phone.

Built by a working broadcast cinematographer for creators who care about how their footage looks.

WHY CROPPER

Most reframing tools upload your footage to their servers. Cropper doesn't. Every frame is processed on your device using Apple's Vision framework — your video never touches the cloud, no account is required, and there's no watermark on free exports.

THREE WAYS TO FOLLOW YOUR SUBJECT

• Hand — drag anywhere on the canvas to nudge the crop manually
• Keyframe — tap to drop a static crop center, or drag to paint a continuous path
• Track — tap directly on a person or object and let Vision lock on and follow automatically

CINEMATIC KEYFRAME TRANSITIONS Choose how the crop moves between keyframes:

• Movie — holds, then cuts at the keyframe. Cinematic and clean.
• Sport — holds, then snaps with a fast pan. Built for action.
• Smooth — gradual glide between keyframes. Ideal for talking heads and tutorials.

LIVE BEFORE / AFTER PREVIEW See exactly what your final video will look like before you commit. Pick Off, Light, Auto, or Manual enhancement — Manual unlocks Brightness, Contrast, Saturation, Warmth, Sharpening, and Denoise.

IMPORT FROM ANYWHERE Drop in any video from your Photos library, iCloud Drive, Google Drive, Dropbox, or OneDrive. Export 9:16, 1:1, or 16:9 — straight to your camera roll.
