Auto Reframe: Video Crop helps you crop and resize videos on iPhone. Turn a horizontal video into a vertical clip, create a square version for social posts, or change the aspect ratio of existing footage without a timeline editor. HOW IT WORKS 1. Import a video from Photos. 2. Choose 9:16 vertical, 1:1 square, or 16:9 landscape. 3. Preview the crop and adjust the framing. 4. Export, then save to Photos or share the result. CHOOSE HOW TO FRAME YOUR VIDEO - Auto: Position the crop using detected faces.
