Vertical Video Converter: Landscape to 9:16 with a Blurred Background
Convert a horizontal video to vertical 9:16 for Shorts, Reels, and TikTok: keep the whole picture over a blurred copy of itself or plain bars, or crop it to fill the screen and choose which part to keep, then zoom, preview, and save it at 1080 × 1920, all in your browser.
Vertical Video Converter: Landscape to 9:16 with a Blurred Background: Each frame is drawn into a 1080 × 1920 (or 720 × 1280) canvas as the video plays. With a blurred background, the frame is first stretched to cover the whole canvas and softened, then the full picture is laid over the middle; with bars, the space above and below is a plain colour; with crop to fill, a vertical slice of the frame fills the screen. Zoom enlarges the picture, and the position slider chooses which part of it stays in view. Runs 100% locally in your browser with zero server file uploads.

Sizes
1080 × 1920 is the usual upload size for vertical video; 720 × 1280 has the same shape and encodes faster.
The interface overlaps the edges
Apps draw captions, buttons, and the account name over the bottom and right of a vertical video. Check where they fall with the safe zone checker.

Frequently asked questions
Which style should I use?
Blurred background keeps everything in shot and looks finished; crop to fill makes the subject biggest but loses the sides, so it suits a single person in the middle of the frame.
Will the text in my video be cut off?
Not with blurred background or bars at 100% zoom: the whole picture stays. Crop to fill and zoom both cut the sides, so check the preview.
Does it change the sound?
No: the original sound is kept as it is, unless you untick the option.
