Change the aspect ratio of video

Given how many video ratio variations are needed to successfully post on all social media platforms it’s no wonder you might want to change the aspect ratio of your video. Flixier allows you to do that with an easy to use video editor that runs online. 


All you have to do is bring over your videos and adjust a few settings. Our video ratio changer gives you the flexibility to make videos in any video aspect ratio from tall to square to landscape or, you can even define your own custom video ratios for special needs.

Change video ratio or resolution?

These two terms are a bit confusing and sometimes used interchangeably. Video resolution mainly refers to the quality of your video or how many pixels it contains. Video aspect ratio refers to the shape of your video (tall, landscape portrait). As an example you can have a square video or 1:1 video at any resolution, 720 by 720 or 1080 by 1080 are both square videos but at different qualities.

I like Flixier because I can use it anywhere I go and I don`t need a lot of computer requirements but great internet connection. I like how fast it is when it comes to rendering videos and still have the opportunity to continue or start another project while waiting. I appreciate the continuous updates and adjustments because it is necessary for a video editing tool.

My main criteria for an editor was that the interface is familiar and most importantly that the renders were in the cloud and super fast. Flixier more than delivered in both. I've now been using it daily to edit Facebook videos for my 1M follower page.
