With Video Resize & Scale - HD, change the dimensions of your videos with precision, by stretching the image or by adding a beautiful and configurable animated blurred background.
More specifically, here are the main things you can do with the application:
• Modify the dimensions of your video by precisely entering the width and height, or by quickly selecting a predefined usual values (720p, Device Portrait / Letter ...).
• Create squared videos from your videos, by adding an animated blurred background (or a fixed color) around your source video (Letterbox feature).
• Convert your protrait videos to landscape videos (and vice versa) by either adding a background around your video or by cropping fixed extremities of your video.
• Modify the aspect ratio of your videos by stretching them, and then distorting the image.
• Easilily position your input video in the output one, thanks to some presets : (center / fill / aspect fill / aspect fill ...), or direclty entre the position in pixels.
• Reduce the file size of your videos by making the dimensions smaller, to preserve disk space, or to quickly send them to your friends or on your social networks.
• Remove the potential hidden extra pixels (outside the clean aperture) that are inside some video (like the ones in the Live Photos), to make the video smaller.
• Force the display of those hidden pixels (outside the clean aperture). They are usually nor meant to be displayed but they might contain some interesting information.

What's New in Video Resize & Scale
5.7
August 1, 2023
• Fix for a possible output video aspect ratio problem.
• Ability to convert to HEVC when some large dimensions are not supported by the AVC codec.
• Added device portrait/landscape as a dimension preset.
• Small fixes and improvements.
I finally found what I have been looking for, that is. (Isn’t that a U2 song? But I digress.) I’ve seriously been searching for an iOS app that would allow me to take an existing square or portrait video and format it for landscape (16:9) with a blurred background.
This. Is. It.
Okay, the app has a dated interface: it looks like it was created for iOS 6 and never updated. But I can overlook that if it does what I need quickly and in a straightforward manner. This app scores on both counts — and it was indeed updated only last month.
Maybe my praise is a little much for a $2 app, but I’m ecstatic that I found this and that my workflow has gotten a lot easier.
