How to Resize a Video to Any Resolution with EditKits

Need to make your video fit perfectly for YouTube Shorts, Instagram Reels, or TikTok? Whether you are switching from landscape to vertical or customizing resolution for a specific display, EditKits makes resizing video effortless and accurate. No software needed, no manual effort.

Why Resize Videos with EditKits?


EditKits lets you resize videos directly in the browser with no downloads required. It supports presets for Instagram, YouTube, and TikTok, as well as fully custom resolutions. You can choose between stretch, fit, and fill strategies for your video frame, pick a background color for borders, and preview the output in real time. All processing is cloud-based with background job support, and both Web UI and API access are available.

Preset Mode: Resize for Social Platforms in One Click

Do not know the exact resolution? No problem. Just pick a preset such as Instagram Feed (1:1), YouTube (16:9), or Shorts and Reels (9:16). EditKits takes care of the resolution and aspect ratio for you.

Custom Mode: Full Control Over Width, Height, and Strategy

Need pixel-perfect control? Switch to Custom Mode. Enter any resolution manually and define how your video adapts using Fit or Fill. Fit maintains the video inside the frame with borders. Fill crops the video to match the frame without borders. You can also pick a background color for padding when using Fit mode.

Live Output Preview in Real-Time

One of the best features of EditKits is the live preview panel. As you tweak your resolution, aspect ratio, or stretch settings, you will immediately see how the final video will look. This makes it easier to get the result you want without trial and error.

Every resizing job is processed in the background. Launch the job and keep working while EditKits renders your video in the cloud.

Use Case Examples


Resize horizontal YouTube videos into vertical Shorts, convert Instagram Reels into square format for feeds, add border padding to match widescreen layouts, or standardize resolution across a library of videos. EditKits handles all of these with a few clicks.

Automation at Scale with API


If you are a developer or running a media-heavy platform, EditKits lets you resize videos programmatically using the Resize API. Run concurrent jobs, set configurations, and manage processing without ever opening the UI. All of it is fully cloud-native and scalable.
